[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Nestled in the rolling hills of Connecticut is a barn and silo with spectacular views; a bucolic New England scene to be sure.\u00a0Our for-bearer’s really knew what they were doing when they built these places hundreds of years ago. While all this is true in theory, it’s not the truth for this particular home. Nothing but a run-of-the-mill\u00a0stick built 1990’s gambrel house\u00a0was here 8 years ago. The barn and silo are new and their addition took the look and feel of this property from the a fore-mentioned “run-of-the-mill” to WOW!<\/em> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There were three key elements\u00a0which made this property what it is today:\u00a0 Yankee Barn Homes, their talented design team\u00a0and Dan Bristol of Dan Bristol Construction, Inc. The homeowners\u00a0had a pretty good idea\u00a0what they wanted and found Yankee Barn Homes in Grantham, NH to be the perfect fit to assist them in achieving\u00a0their goals. Among\u00a0other things, they had salvaged a 1950’s gas station glass and metal\u00a0door which was to be front and center in their new home. Okay, this was not going to be the average design and build. A cantilevered cat walk and a\u00a0floating stairway were two more requirements. Oh yeah, did I mention\u00a0the kitchen was\u00a0going\u00a0in\u00a0a silo? \"Dan<\/a><\/p>\n

Pictured above are the repurposed gas station doors. They meld beautifully with the polished cements floors and the steel rails on the stairs. Best of all is the natural Douglas Fir of the post and beam frame,\u00a0as it creates the perfect backdrop which\u00a0ties the contemporary look together. \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There is so much steel and glass in this home, it could have been over-powering. But the addition of the natural warm tones of the timber frame\u00a0combined with a\u00a0tongue and groove cedar ceiling,\u00a0turned what could have\u00a0appeared cold into hot! hot!! hot!!!<\/em>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Hands down, this was the most unusual kitchen area Yankee Barn Homes had ever been requested to design. First, as mentioned above it was to be in a silo, hence round. The owners wanted an authentic look of corrugated metal to be used on the interior to mimic the silos in the area. \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The kitchen itself is a work of art. From the use of color to the elegant leather bar stools, to the pendant lights; this space has its act totally together! \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If you’re a lover of all things modern and contemporary and love the look of a post and beam frame, this home is a gold mine of inspiration. \"Contemporary<\/a><\/p>\n

Believe it or not, I\u2019ve saved the best news for last. Yankee Barn Homes and Dan Bristol are at it once again, collaborating on a new farmhouse in the hills of Connecticut that promises to have its own unique spin on the contemporary style. This time, Post & Beam Living has been invited into the inner circle to\u00a0chronicle the development of this house as it goes from design stage through completion. The projected date for “photo ready” is sometime in the summer of 2012. We’ll be right there, following it through each stage. I’ve already gotten my hands on some fantastic renderings, so stay tuned as we’ll be posting on the new farmhouse as it moves from drawing board to reality![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”vc_default” full_width=”stretch_row” content_placement=”middle” css=”.vc_custom_1613579162596{background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}” min_height=”300px”][vc_column][vc_widget_sidebar sidebar_id=”sidebar_3″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
