在建造谷仓时，建筑被简化为其本质：有屋顶的墙壁和一些门窗。这是对纯粹的、合乎逻辑的建筑的追求，这种建筑解决了结构本身的效率和美丽之间的中间问题。
When building a barn architecture is reduced to its essence: walls with a roof and some windows and doors. It is a quest for a pure and logical architecture, an architecture that addresses the middle between efficiency and beauty of the structure itself.
混凝土被用于建造两面墙，它们被固定在抛光的混凝土板上。每面墙都有一个切口，以便在眼睛的高度创造一个开放的窗口。墙壁的百叶窗是一种紧张的黄麻，一种与谷仓的想法直接相关的材料，它被概括在混凝土中。这种包裹混凝土的方法导致了一个更有触感的结果和视觉上的轻盈。
Concrete was chosen for the construction of the two walls, which are anchored to the polished concrete slab. There was made a cut-out in each of the walls to create an open window at eye level. The shuttering of the walls was a tense jute, a material directly related to the idea barn, which is outlined in the concrete. This method of encasing the concrete leads towards a more tactile result and a visual lightness.
在这些混凝土墙之间，木质桁架被三根水平木梁夹住，这也突出了谷仓的长度。由于每个桁架都是夹住的，所以在水平桁架上不需要拖拉机，这导致了一种新型的桁架和谷仓内部的开放感觉。
Between these concrete walls wooden trusses were sandwiched by three horizontal wooden beams that also accentuate the length of the barn. As each truss is clamped the need for a tractor in the horizontal truss was eliminated, which leads to a new type of truss and an open feeling on the inside of the barn.
屋顶的材料加强了这种开放性，它由聚碳酸酯板组成，从字面上和形象上看都是一种轻型材料。凸轮和排水沟是由铜制成的，这突出了屋顶上的一些线条。
This openness is reinforced by the material of the roof, which consists of polycarbonate sheets, both literally and figuratively a light material. The cam and the gutters are made of copper, which accentuate some lines in the roof.
为了密封其余的开口，使用了几种方法：大门的建造是基于通常用于谷仓和马厩的门的技术：它们是由镀锌钢框架和外部木板制成的。为了关闭正面的其余部分，制作了两个平台，上面堆放着干草。混凝土上面的侧墙是用型材和温室的玻璃填充的。
To seal the remaining openings several methods were used: the construction of the gates is based on a technique commonly used for doors of barns and stables: they are made of frames from galvanized steel with an outer planking. To close rest of the front facade two plateaus were made on which hay is stacked. The side walls above the concrete were filled with profiles and glass from conservatories.
由于其简单的概念和结构，这个谷仓有一个非常强大的建筑表达，而建筑则完美地融入了环境。这是一个能够经受住时间考验的建筑，而不必失去内在的质量。
Because of its simplicity in concept and construction this barn has a very powerful architectural expression, while the building is perfectly integrated into the environment. It is an architecture that can withstand the test of time, without having to lose intrinsic quality.
