A: 2420 sq. ft. under roof **Q: Bedroom full bath option** *(in Photo Questions)* I love the look of the exterior footprint. Do you have a modified design that has 2 bedrooms and a full bath? I'm looking for a modified barn design that can serve as a cabin /rental property? Or a pole barn design with small living quarters. A: Short answer is yes, RMT Architects is not in the business of re-selling building plans. If it is a custom design that you are looking for, we would be pleased to work with you in that direction. Several past clients have requested modifications to the Heritage Cabin, tailoring the layout to suit their needs and lifestyle, which we have done. I have provided a simple line diagram of the layout of the Heritage Cabin structure as it was originally designed. If you would like to proceed, the next step would be for RMT to collect more information regarding your needs (project scope, budget, building location, and time frame). From there, we would produce a proposal outlining our arrangement for your review and approval. Feel free to contact the Design Architect Paul Miller at 970-949-0916. **Q: The floor looks like a mix of materials. One obviously wood.** *(in Photo Questions)* Is the other stained concrete?
