32'x36' Teacher's Barn

We built this New England-style timber frame barn on the coast of Maine for a retiring teacher and his family. The barn includes a 20' x 36' main section with a 10'6" first floor ceiling. Upstairs, there is over 700' square feet with a large dormer that provides a beautiful view and extra space. A 12' x 32' shed will provide space to store a vehicle and have a small enclosed workshop. While our clients left this structure uninsulated and enclosed it with two layers of square cut pine boards on the walls and a layer of pine boards under the asphalt shingles on the roof, this barn could easily be insulated with SIPs.

We hope you enjoy the photos as much as we enjoyed creating this very special BungalowInABox.
