Home Workshop, Brewery & Garage
A spacious light filled barn was designed to house a woodworking shop, a project kitchen and a small brewery. The stone foundation anchors the barn to the hillside. Large shop doors open onto a sheltered outdoor space with a stone terrace that is the center for outdoor family activities and connects the existing house to the barn. Stone stairs from the terrace lead down to the new garage that is used to store equipment and large vehicles. New terraced gardens with stone walls fan out down a steep hillside to maximize solar gain and extend the growing season. The roof and clearstory windows in the shop are supported by fir and steel trusses that were assembled on site. Lighting and the air-to-air heat pumps provide efficient systems that are powered in part by the 6kW PV array.
