|
 |
This barn was built over an exposed basement foundation with storage areas below. | |
| Structural insulating wall panels being installed on back wall. |  |
|
 |
All wall and gable panels are in place except for near gable end wall. | |
| Curved braces highlight a heavy timber girt at the entrance. |  |
|
 |
Reception area has a wall of glass and a very dramatic timbered ceiling. | |
| Same view as above... |  |
|
 |
Dramatic full-glass gable end offers a taste of what to expect when you get inside. | |
| Set in the rolling hills around Xenia, Ohio, this barn looks like it has been there for decades when viewed from the other side. |  |
|
 |
This barn also has a hay hood to allow block-and-tackle for lifting hay to the second floor. | |
