Mothersfield
Designed for an active Three-Day Event rider and trainer, this project
provides a barn for twenty horses attached to a regulation indoor dressage arena, giving
maximum protection from the weather. Working with a very restricted budget, the
project put design flourishes on the portion of the project visible from the
road, leaving the rest of the building attractively utilitarian.
Located on 40 acres, the barn complex is sited to provide maximum space for pastures.
Because the project is in an area that gets a great deal of snow, the barn is located
close to the road. The outdoor dressage/jumping arena is on the flattest part of the site,
and is separated from the barn by a row of existing trees, to provide a quiet place to train.
Completed Spring 1997.
