This Barnhouse is one of the original structures on the historic Ragdale country estate of Howard Van Doren Shaw in Lake Forest. Once completed, the Barnhouse renovation will feature new administrative offices, a communal gathering space, guest suits for visiting artists, and a commercial kitchen. This is the third project built by GGC at Ragdale following the McCutchen House, and the Shearer Dance Studio. Melichar Architects of Lake Forest designed the renovation.
