Description
scale: 1:200Latest design. It indeed is a cow stable. This might come quite surprising for most of you, but yes architects also do build cow stables, and it really was an interesting design as well. Not to mention what I learned about the ways cows are held nowadays, which really can be disturbing, though, of course, exceptions prove the rule. Luckily.

Hi, I found this deviation through Β
This caught my attention from the thumbnails, and as the commenter below said, I think it's because of the lighting. The dark interior really makes the pale beams (forgive me for my lack of knowledge on architecture terminology) stand out. The tree and other barn in the background are a nice addition to this image. It gives you a bigger picture plus it doesn't leave the background blank and boring as some pictures using the rule of thirds like this do. This is a very convincing looking design with the other elements of the image brought together with it. It makes it seem like the design would really work in real life.
From an artistic stand point, the crossing beams make it visually very interesting and I find myself following the patterns they form. It looks like there are two lofts above where the cows are going to be housed. I can't help but wonder what exactly having two lofts is meant to accomplish although the scenery around the cattle barn suggests that perhaps there is a lot of cold weather and long winters where this is meant to be built. Are there two lofts because there is meant to be hay stored above in both lofts? Perhaps on loft is meant to be a hay storing loft and the other meant to have a fan to promote circulation throughout the structure? I am not quite sure, and I kind of wish that there was a clue about this since we appear to be seeing where this would be built. Overall the presentation here is very nice, so maybe I am asking too much or overthinking it. Maybe if I were to study architecture, I wouldn't be wondering about the exact purpose of all the features, but I'm not. My family has three cattle that wander freely in their pastures and have a couple very simple barns they can go in when the weather is bad. From a farming standpoint, the idea of having a nice looking barn like this is exciting. It would certainly be an upgrade from the very simple cattle barns my family has! Overall you have done a marvelous job with this design, so keep up the good work

Thank you for your kind feedback
It's perfectly okay that you wonder about this, maybe I should state beforehand, this stable is meant for 150 cows. The two stores actually do not have any stable-related function right now, though they of course could always be used for what you suggested, if necessary. Their primal reason is because of statics. They make the structure strong, while the beams themselves can be dimensioned very lightly. Therefore you have the possibility to have more of this A-structures that allow to divide the herd if necessary. Furthermore, the height of the stable is definitely needed for that much cows and the system that is used so air can circulate and an heating up of the stable is prevented

Yep that makes sense. Thanks

Hello Iβm from ProjectComment .
Seeing your design really popped out to me from thumbnail size. It must be due to the lighting and photo taking skills you used to capture this model for all to see. Itβs very well presented, and the stable is not centered, letting us see a tree and house in the far background. This is a very nice capture right here, even if itβs used to help design a cow stable, it could very well be a model one would save or do on their own recreational time. The colors go well with each other, and the build looks clean leaving no hints as to what might be keeping it up. The photos youβve added as for reference is a nice touch, especially as it lets us see the scale as to where the stable is, how long is it and wide, and how it compares to the surrounding area. The inside shot is also great as well, especially with how you captured all of this. It also gives us a good feeling as to how dark the final building will be when itβs fully constructed- we might as well just enlarge your model and use that lol.
The only thing that I must say that really makes it a bit hard to see, or could help pop out your cow stable a bit is if you used a darker background instead of that grey. Since everything else is presented in a light grey scale color, wouldnβt it have been better to have the background be a different grey tone than the building? I know youβre trying to keep things in the same color zone, but a different grey would have helped popped it out a bit more than what youβve got going for your shot- at least presentation wise on DA.
Overall youβve done a wonderful job on your design and build. This looks very good, and the surrounding colors make it looks as if itβs winter for some odd reason (does it snow in the area this is going to be built in, or is this for a personal project?). I like how youβve kept everything in the same grey scale, and having uniformity in this overall helps in its final presentation. It also makes it look much more appealing and convinces people that this is the design that we should go on. Great job on this and keep up the excellent work.

Thank you very much for your constructive comment! I really appreciate the time and effort you put in this 
I do agree with what you said about the background, that maybe it might be better to have a darker one. I do actually have shots with a dark grey background, as I had this feeling, though I decided against it reviewing my shots. Since the buildings themselves are quite dark it came out too dark overall (in my opinion). But maybe something inbetween might have just been the right thing
You're right about this winter look

You're welcome, glad you like it.Β
Ah I did not know that, but the final judgement is up to you.Β
That's interesting to hear, it does have that charm.Β

As an architecture student, I really like the structure. The details in the model are awesome, very simple, but precise.

The way this is photographed, I had a sudden flashback to HS putting on the play "Fiddler on the Roof" when, near the end of the production, the characters are forced from their homes and the cast is singing "Anatevka" .

Unfortunately, I don't have any screenshots. The movie would probably have more accurate references to what you're wanting, as our stage was 8' long and maybe 5' wide, in a place where it doesn't snow. LOL. I did a quick search and these are the closest pictures I can find, I'd probably make my own if I had the movie on DVD, but alas I do not.

I do get a sense of what you meant! Thank you for digging these up

Oh this is an interesting reference! Do you perchance have a picture to show me? Otherwise I'll try to do some research

This is really interesting. I wouldn't think it needed so many A-frame support braces at the core of the structure, but in a way it breaks the stable in to cells which could be useful in segregating the herds population at various times.

That is exactly the point

Makes sense to me, its a much better means to use a limited size footprint space, especially since the utilized square footage can be so easily reconfigured without having to knock out and restructure the frame. Well done!

This looks stunning! I love how the colour scheme is mainly just white, browns and light golden - yellows! It adds a lot of emotion to the image and I think this looks better than it would have if you used too many colours ^^

I absolutely adore this, the trees surrounding it are a nice touch. The stable itself looks fascinating.

Ah, lovely, I'm glad they have a function~
