Farmhouse in a hangar: NJ modern home creates a world within

- When architect Adam Kalkin placed a huge airplane hangar over his 1880s New Jersey farmhouse, he hoped to gain space for his family while preserving the original clapboard cottage: “it’s kind of a ship in a bottle type of thing”.
He also hoped to continue to reimagine our idea of home: his Push-Button Home is a pop-up house in a shipping container; and other Quik House is an affordable, rapidly-deployable shipping container home; Solar House is an A-frame of nothing but solar panels and shipping containers.
With his “Bunny Lane” home, Kalkin assembled a conventional Butler aircraft hangar around the original small home, but that is only a part of the story. At one end of the 27-foot-high, 33-foot-wide space, Kalkin created a grid of nine rooms from concrete block. A kind of modern treehouse, this all-glass wall of rooms peers down on the original home and a small “piazza” or “town square”.
“It’s got kind of an urban roofscape thing, I always like seeing roofs. You get that feeling as you get sometimes in New York… You know just because you’re in the country- I want to recall urban experiences- why can’t you recall urban experiences in a house in the country.”
For Kalkin, the mix of materials and eras in one home is important. “I clearly have respect for old things, but I want to incorporate them into a dialogue with present, future, past. I’m just saying, ‘what’s your idea of a utopia?’ This isn’t necessarily what is historically considered a utopian house… but how do you create something that you can actually live in that doesn’t make you sad about looking backward? How do you build a presence in architecture, how do you build an eternal present? So this is a way of answering that question.”

Interesting concept, but I'd add some sky lights. It seems pretty dark in there during the day.
This is the greatest house I've ever seen in my life. I love every single thing about it.
He literally smashed together city life and country living... I applaud.
I feel like that old house is in a hostage situation
Exactly. I feel like it misses the earth.
I snorted when I read this. ha ha ha
😂 true!
No breeze coming through the windows, that’s a bit sad and claustrophobic.
🤣🤣🤣
it feels like living in ikea
lol xD
Or.... like living in a Meow Wolf, particularly like the one in Santa Fe.
The house feels like an art piece on display in a museum. Family life is the featured piece of the museum. It's brilliant.
It really can be interesting when you combine creative people with more money than they need.
Yes, I wonder how much it cost. I couldn't even guess.
the place is really neat but definitely out of my earned income
usually people sell their old house before buying a new house...and you gotta have enough money to build a 2nd house like this guy while keeping your old house
+loudwaters9 . Sure, why not, "and some weed ". ✌️🌎
Yes it's amazing what you can find outside of a big city to buy. I have a friend that I haven't been able to see in almost 5 years that build his home in an airplane hanger and it's beautiful! He is retired and about a 20 minute drive from the city.
This is one of my favourite house concepts ever. I've always wanted to live in a warehouse with traditional comforts, but this is next level!
When you buy a house from Amazon but it gets stuck in the warehouse
Around 20 years ago I read about this house in the Architectural Digest. I kept this special magazine all this time only cause of this creation and now I am able to see how it would be to live in it. I still want to build it and my wife still say no :(. Edit: yes, 19 years. It was 2001/no.5/Page 82/German edition
You build a present by building your life and environment exactly the way you feel they should be and with no compromise. Which is exactly what you've done here, I think.
I've thought about this house so many times since first seeing this video months ago that it's now starting to pop up in my dreams...
Dusting nightmare. Not only do you have to dust in the house, you have to dust the actual house.
Open up the big hangar doors, secure all the loose paper, magazines, etc. and use a leaf blower to dust with.
@@gewgulkansuhckitt9086 That only stirs everything up and then it settles back down.
Absolutely love this, preserving the old house, making an outside living room with the old chimney stack, keeping the shape of the removed portion of the house in the wall of the new build, genius. Love the use of interior space, with the offices at one end, A brilliantly executed piece of architecture, feeling homely, spacious, technological, WOW.....absolutely love this.
It honestly felt like being on the set of Alfred Hitchcock's classic film "Rear Window".
We talked about that. Adam said he was definitely inspired by "Rear Window".
Kirsten Dirksen I definitely got that vibe! lol that's funny. Thanks for the feature. Stellar content as always.
the best success that i've had was by using the Magic Container Plans (just google it) definately the most helpful course i've followed.
total film set material
some kinky vibes detected
I'd rather just convert the entire hangar into an open loft.
good thing you didnt do it then
Those kids seem happy. Plenty of room to roam. Very interesting dwelling. Thanks for sharing.
It's so dark inside the house. There's no light coming in. Even during the day they have to have all the lights on. Ant the air circulation must be a nightmare.
It's not as dark as it seems. It looks dark because of the camera settings. You can see that parts of the frame have been overexposed, meaning they've had to adjust the settings so that those areas aren't completely pure white. It has two walls completely of glass, then two walls with a lot of glass, and the part of the old building connected to the new is completely glass . The building is a lot more brighter than it seems in this, it seems dark because of all the natural light.
It's like a city, hotel, and museum all in one. Amazing!
"You know.."
thinking the same thing, you know.
i really don't know
Damn you. I hadn't noticed now its the only thing I hear, you know...
You know, project is really cool. But, you know, that guy says too much "you know". And it's kinda annoying, you know.
I know I know
Wow,,, this is the best house I have seen yet! it has something for everyone,,,, I could see using the inside without the house and making little apartment style rooms for family and friends.....
Super idea. Reminds me of the Bible verse: "...In My Father's house are many mansions."
I was thinking the same thing. I love this concept.
+yupyup1562 Yes! ☺
ikr. it consists of it all, it seems. i just wanted to see more of everything. thats so creative. its like being outside & inside. closed off, or open. this house, the other, or both tonight? They Still manage to seem close, & the kids seem happy. That's cute.
if i watch enough of these things maybe ill slowly learn and gather up ideas myself... prob not though. i dont like watching the works, just the final products 😶
Have you seen the house inside a greenhouse! Now, that's really cool, because they grow Everything in the house, the green beans look like that rope! It's a real treasure, jack n the beanstalk!
That was beautiful. Adam has a fascinating way of interpreting life.
This would be an perfect home. I like the feeling of being out doors but hate dealing with the elements I would sit in that open area and read all day!
I had a childhood friend whose parents built their own home and this gave me that same feeling. The smooth concrete floors, spiral stairs, ability to look down on an enclosed area like that. Plus the modern and traditional mixing since he had a converted barn mixed with modern architecture and glass windows just like this. Made me appreciate the feeling and atmosphere all that stuff creates when it's together.
You have to admit, love it or hate it, this is epic.
Love, Love, Love, Love, Love. Kirsten you did it again, you found something absolutely wonderful. Thank you.
how is a dark hangar wonderful?
+EspenJ I made 2 other comments, find them & you'll have your answer. OPINIONS ARE LIKE ASSHOLES, EVERYBODY HAS ONE & HOW I FEEL IS MY OPINION.
+EspenJ I'm not forcing you to like it, I don't care so don't care about my opinion so much.
fair enough ;)
I'm sure that Adam carefully considered the correct window placements and design layout to optimize the incoming sun and views to leave you with a sense of openness and light. Not at all dark.
Have loved this building for years, thank you so much for getting us all a tour. Great to see more than just photos.
I absolutely love the individual look of the prefab hangar
I really like the house shaped window on the side. I wish they had been able to add more touches like that.
Definitely different and it like he said everyone has to build there own utopia. Do and live where/with what makes you happy. Period!
This feels like how the 1950's thought living in space would be. Giant surrounding structure imposed over a little piece of suburban homeyness. Surreal
"The idea you have to choose is a false choice" right on.
Well thats a money 💰 question...if you have enough you have more choice than if you have none
I felt that
This was totally my idea a few years ago. Not that I'm saying it was an original idea, or that I posses ownership, but I was walking through a big box store and I told the person I was with "you could build a house in here and it would last for ever".
The whole showing of this house is overshadowed by his “you know”
I don’t know “just saying.”
I was catching the extreme amount if "you know" until I read your comment. Now thats all i can here
"The bank said they where going to take the house. No way I will let that happen, I will just put it inside a hanger and lock the door, they will never find it!!'
I think it would be interesting as a home base for an RVer. Come and go, park your RV in the hangar and live in it (out of it), have a garden/greenhouse, run it all on solar. It does not have to as fancy as this, buy one of those metal utility buildings big enough for a "Class A" RV, your towed car and your e-bikes.
Interesting concept indeed, specially if we are talking about affordable, unincorpored type of land, where permits-zoning shouldn't be an issue.
Agreed ;)
Now THAT makes sense in this context!
;)
They have those already. Although, you park (under a covered carport) next to it and 'shift' over to the house.
I want country land with a Quonset hut on it. Then put the yurt inside.
I saw this house featured on Extreme Homes more than a decade ago. But I like how the house tour was very personal. Your video is awesome!
This reminds me of a dolls house. When you are in the hanger bit looking down on the old house is like the outside of the dolls house. Then at the front of the hanger all the rooms are exposed for you to see and with no doors is like the bit when you open the front of the dolls house. Quite surreal!
This has been an idea of mine for a long time...........sweet to see someone has actually done it!
Just awesome and wonderful. To be able to think about the routine and then reconstruct it in a way that delights you, not worried about what others think. Loved it.
Such an interesting place! Safe,roomy,nature plus comfort! No sense of confinement in bad weather!
This is literally the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. Feels like someone took my personality and built a home. Seriously brought tears to my eyes. Amazing
I once saw a house like this in my dream. It was more bizarre but it was some houses in a hanger. I remember the back story of my dream was that the world was too cold for people to live. So someone built a huge hanger over some houses to create a large living area.
I really appreciate you filming this house! I've seen this in a book ... I think 2 or 3 years ago. I wanted more details. It has practically haunted me because it comes to mind often. Thank you, both to the filming crew for making it and the family for opening up and sharing.
I always feel bad for ships in the bottle.
I felt a little like looking into a dollhouse. So fantastical. LOVE it. What a wonderful space to live in. I am obsessed with the waxed concrete flooring... LOVE LOVE this.
OHMYGOSH!!!! A real life doll house! How brilliant!
Well...I love it! I love that I can see so many different types of housing and living conditions on this channel. Kirsten, you are great at what you do, obviously you love it!
I love this! I have had dreams about places like this. There's this huge mpty factory I walk by on the way to work every morning and I keep thinking someone ought to open up the roof and start a tiny house community in there.
Love the home as workshop idea!! Gives endless promts and inspo for the occupants to linger and tinker. Add a giant plantscape wall or even a rock climbing zone somewhere inside the zone and it would be epic!!
I Gotta say it again, I just love this home and idea.... Coolest home I have ever seen. Obsessed, can not quit thinking about it. Thank You so much for sharing!
Years ago in my career, my company built the metal building over the house. It's a Butler Landmark Building sold by Fenton Construction. We played Hollywood Squares in the masonry walls. I understood that the original property was called the Pfizer estate and the house was lived in by the Japanese gardener who was in charge of the grounds of the estate. I remember how low the doorways, widows and upstairs balcony were. I was told that the original silent movie Madame Butterfly was filmed on this property. Maybe someone else can confirm this. Nice to see an old project on the internet.
Such a huge space with comfy nooks for privacy but others are so open. Cool.
I really like this cos I get bored with layout of my home and keep changing things around. The possibilities in this home are endless.......never get bored!
that 3x3 square rooms are AMAZING. the WHOLE place is AMAZING
Very straight forward and minimal yet extra and comfortable
Very wholesome
I had a very similar idea for a living space (only, in a warehouse in a city, so you'd get a cottage AND be in a prime location.) Exciting that someone actually did it. Magnificent!
LOL...the other side of the hangar looks like Hollywood Squares! :D
just the opening shot of the windows got me hooked already
My heart started beating faster and faster as I watched it!omg what a creativity!
I saw this on Netflix's Amazing Interiors and I was SO IN LOVE I had to research more about it! It's SOOOO AWESOME AND CREATIVE.
i wish he gave us a price for that airplane hangar. an estimate at least.
I think he gave an estimate when the house was featured on that Netflix show 'amazing interiors' - I think he said 100K?
Thats what googles for
In Texas we call that a barn. Not anywhere as expensive to build as you'd think since there's no new electrical or plumbing to install. I would go with a transparent white fiberglass roof for more light though.
@GIRTH BROOKS I love that channel. Now I'm looking into a smaller BARNDOMINIUM!
I’ve seen this before, but watched again because it came up and I’d forgotten how fantastic it was.
This is by far one of the most interesting use of space.
By far my favorite dwelling on your channel. Thank you for sharing!
Inside outside.. this is the coolest house ever
Pure genius - I would move in there in a moment.
SMART MAN...EXCELLENT JOB!! BEAUTIFUL HOME SWEET HOME....;)
What a amazingly wacky place! I love it haha
I love the outdoor/indoor concept. That works well for hot humid climates.
I can see this as a perfect way to preserve a home that can become a museum for future generations to see how we lived.
For everyone who says it's a hipster or a fool that just has too much money:
I certainly have not seen this before and I am glad that Kirsten Dirksen has showed this. It definitely is not mainstream and definitely someplace that I would want to be in
you pretty much described the definition of hipster
+EspenJ so hipster means someone who liked things most people are too close minded to give a chance. Got it.
+lainey marie more or less. I've lived in a dorm (?) for art students. the janitors put up notes asking the students to mark their art as it sometimes was hard to distinguish from trash. there is a point where creativity ends up beeing plain stupid. this video shows an example of this.
Damn that would look beautiful in the winter
Looks like a film studio.... amazing..... Cleaning this place cant be fun.... thanks KD
Wow, Dirksen! I remember when you only had like 20k+ subscribers, and now you've got over 400k!!! I thought your channel was unique and worth watching, and I'm so glad others feel the same way. I'm so happy for you! Congratulations!!
⭐️⭐️⭐️ OMG!! I want this house! And everything in it😊😊
that would be a great place to live with the exception of that HUGE house in the middle taking up all the potential fun space for a gym, automobile/toy storage etc.
An amazing inventive way of preserving and expanding
I love your videos and have learned so much over the years from watching them. Thank you for sharing this house. It is particularly unique!!
Be well,
JRGM
I want this!
Or at least something similar to this - it's so cool!
But sadly not something I will be able to afford anytime soon.....
you want a ugly building with a pointless building inside?
hey everybody i have an opinion about this
That's a nice, innovative home! 👍🏽
So inspiring and thoughtfully designed. I love this! What a great place for kids to grow up.
Now that's fulfilling dream. Beautiful!
This was amazing! Thanks for making this video!
Wow! Simply wow! 🙌🏾
This is officially my New Dream Home. Amazing!!! I'm obsessed!
That is the coolest house I have ever seen!
Not a tiny home, but a tiny world. I kinda love it.

Ive always wanted more info on Bunny Lane!!! Thank You Kirsten!!
Looks like a great place to raise a family. Everyone has there space and is still safe and accounted for.
this is the most amazing thing ever. I would love a structure like that
I love it. Eclectic, functional, coloring outside the lines
Creativity never cease to surprise me! Great idea, to have your very own piazza!
Really love the three story glass house part and the courtyard and all that open space. I would not need the old house.
OMG!!!! I would sooooo love this! This is great!
This is so fascinating to me! I love it! I think I either like small spaces or massive ones like this!
THIS IS SPEACIAL! I LIKE THIS HOME ALOT!
Never thought of that idea. Love it!
Thanks Kirsten. This really is quite a phenomenal place. It's almost like having to competing styles contained with the one structure. Loved it... ;-}
Very intelligent to do it .,am thinking about bad weather.,and a very hot days...love this!!
Coolest house I've ever seen!
