I introduced you to The Beacon Carriage House last month in my first post on this beautiful post and beam. Today’s update is in tended to catch you up on all that has occurred over the past four weeks. Quite a bit has happened since we last saw this timber frame going up, so let’s…
Yankee Barn Homes is not only “on board” with the Next Gen Housing movement, we’ve actually been building Next Gen housing for some time now! Initially called mother-in-law apartments, they allow multi-generational living under a common roof. Today’s building codes have dictated some changes, such as if a cook-top/stove may be included and, if so,…
In the previous two posts on this barn home, view here, we followed the progress on the Yankee Barn Homes shingle style located in East Hampton, NY. The purpose of this post is to “catch you up” and hopefully, make you catch your breath, as the exterior of the home has been completed and professionally…
This carriage house construction project is quite a sight to behold. Begun this past summer by Yankee Barn Homes, it is now well on it’s way to completion. Please join me in taking a look at it’s evolution thus far, it’s truly quite amazing. The Beacon Carriage House This project, located in Southborough, MA,…
The new barn home dining room actually has nothing to do with the fact the room is new; we all know dining rooms have been around for ages. What is new are the options available to new-build homeowners. Here at Yankee Barn Homes, we’ve seen just about every configuration you might imagine, from separate, formal…
I last covered this barn home in a recent post, A Shingle Style Post and Beam Gets Underway. Since then, interior work on this East Hampton home has begun – with a big interruption from Hurricane Sandy – and the finish work is under way. I thought you might like to see a few construction…
This carriage house goes from components and pieces, to a completely enclosed structure in five days. I’ve purposely left the time stamp on the photos so you may not only watch the progress, but be able to tell how much gets done each day. It’s a fascinating thing to see, in person or by way…
As a change of pace, thought you might be interested in seeing what a barn home looks like prior to one post or beam being cut and placed. This is a current project Yankee Barn Homes is working on for clients in Massachusetts. Besides the drawings and floor plans you’ll see here, the clients are…
No matter the style and decor for a barn home, the master bedroom can, and should, be a sanctuary from the crazy world we inhabit. This is the room where I say, “don’t allow a certain style to dictate; do what makes you feel relaxed”. The room should immediately sooth as you step over the…
This Yankee Barn home in Minnesota is not only beautiful, it has a great story. Every once in awhile, we have clients who wish to finish their Yankee Barn home themselves. This home belongs to just such a couple, who originally bought their barn home in 1994, then proceeded to finish it themselves. It has…
It’s not every day you hear the phrases “shingle style” and post and beam” in the same sentence, but in this case, they can’t possibly be separated. A new project by our very own Jeffrey Rosen is currently underway in East Hampton, NY. This time it’s Jeff’s version of the wonderful turn-of-the-century style best exemplified…
Building a Yankee Barn home on Martha’s Vineyard has a few extra challenges thrown in to the mix of concerns which are inherent in any build project. Height requirements are a major issue when building on the island. Also, if your build site is lucky enough to have a view of the ocean, there is…
