Montpelier VT, 2021

Another project from the archives at Timberhomes Vermont, I designed this 30x36’ banked barn for some wonderful clients right around the corner in Montpelier, Vermont. It features a tractor drive-in on the lowest floor, a two-car garage on the main level (featuring I-beams for a clear span), and a wide loft in the third story for a hobby woodshop. The loft level features huge X-braces, long rows of windows under the eaves, curved tie beams supported by cherry braces in each bent. and a hay-loft door with a hoist track to the outside. The monochrome black exterior paint elevates this barn to another level!
