Hut Sweet Hut

Our winner of Best Before and After in the 2009 Southern Home Awards is a Quonset hut in Beaufort, South Carolina that's been renovated and incorporated into a larger home.

Although owners and architects Michael and Jane Frederick originally considered leveling the old barracks, they chose adaptive reuse after learning what the building meant to the surrounding community.

Take a look inside the space and glimpse the structure before its renovation―the transformation is jaw-dropping.
