The name of our Barn Hives (Eco Pods) comes from Barnyard Bees farm, our bee’s hives spread around the property. When we think of a hive, we simply think of a natural piece of construction. But adding a little touch of the modern, we get a mix of new and old, with a link between nature, landscape and ecological sustainability. It’s a reference to the conservation tourism concept which Barnyard Farm is all about.
Barn Hives were constructed with maximum care for the environment.
Guided by nature, evolved with aesthetic passion, and fortified by an all-encompassing sustainable philosophy, it is a masterpiece of forward-thinking flair.
The industrial contemporary design architecture of Barn Hives is inspired to be bold, optimistic, and distinctly of this place while at the same time materials and colours were chosen to make it blend naturally into the landscape. The shape of the pods provides a wonderful top view of the surroundings, giving guests even closer experience of living in the hive proximity with nature.
Special attention has been paid to sunlight and cross-ventilation to achieve comfort without the use of harsh mechanical implements. Water is collected from rainfall. With connecting the solar panels on the roof of you balcony to the heat pump, it will transfer that energy to supply you with hot water for your shower. With a pellet fire heater during the chilly winter days and fans for summer.
Barn Hives aims to prove that hospitality and environmental conservation can coexist to create a unique and positive experience.
