    Nice! It looks like something original. What inspired the "mini barn"? What would you call it besides "Mini Barn"?

    thanks for the compliment. Growing up on a farm, I wanted to design a building that captured the spirit of barns, showing their bones, and not have them covered up with insulation and drywall, that happens so often when a barn is repurposed. On of my favorite aspects of this project is the roof. You can see the light coming in, and out thru the roof structure. We used polycarbonate roof panels for the roof, that turns the entire ceiling into a light fixture. Even in the gummiest winter days, you get wonderful light in this building.
