Dual farmhouse

The farm was once more than a place for mere production. “A world within a house” and both an instrument for collective memory and a geographical marker, it represented both the buildings, the family inside, and sometimes even the craft performed there (sawmill farm, wood turning farm, etc.). In villages, you will notice that buildings are often organised in “spans”, mainly due to constraints relating to adjoining houses. Thus, each span tied the building to a specific purpose: stables, barns or housing.
