Everyone involved came together to make something amazing. The furnishings, the rustic floor, the view from the bed when the homeowner awakens, the table the architect designed all are part of the art of this house. > Rita **★★★★★ — Mary Meccage, Nov. 2014** > A true craftsmen. NIck cares about the quality and integrity of his tools, supplies and the finished product. The aesthetics and style that he implements is smart and modern, creating a piece that I'm thrilled to have in my home. He supplied me with a box end table and it's been the most perfect presence to my space. Designed in such a way as to let the lines and quality of the piece speak for itself, it's a true modern heirloom. **★★★★★ — hpancheau, Oct. 2014** > A great visionary, listener, and planner. When we remodeled our home, his ability to clearly communicate his design and the process put me at great ease. He addressed all of my concerns about the space and worked with me to completely turn our home around to be more functional and open. I love how it turned out and I would highly recommend Nick Pancheau to others. **★★★★★ — Kate Morris, Oct. 2014** > Designed a home that would fit in a grain bin I had installed in 2005. His design created a beautiful living space with views and light from the prairie on a peice of ground I inherited from my father. The best part of his design is he preserved the interior of the grain bin which is incredibly beautiful in it's raw state. I was Nick's art teacher from kindergarten to sixth grade and we had a wonderful working relationship through the whole process. ## Selected projects - [Bloomfield Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bloomfield-residence-pj-vj~2655019) - Location: Billings, MT - Photos: 9 - [MCM Billings](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mcm-billings-pj-vj~1461333) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - Description: Interior remodel services for a Billings, MT residence. - [YCC Modern](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ycc-modern-pj-vj~2655026) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [Grain Bin Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/grain-bin-residence-pj-vj~652544) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 39 - Description: The Grain Bin is cathedral-like, with its soaring tin roof, a beautiful ambient light, and each voice amplified as they reflect off the rolling galvanized surfaces.

I built the piece. **Q: question about bed** *(in Photo Questions)* I just love this bedroom - so simple and zen. I checked the Ikea website for a natural wood platform with white drawers and was unable to locate the one pictured. Can you please give me a bit more info? Also, was the headboard from Ikea as well? It really looks handmade - it's just beautiful! A: Hello there, this is an IKEA bed and headboard. It was purchased in store, and may not be available on the website. **Q: Where is this?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Hi Roberto, please follow this link to the full story on this house including many interior photos. Thanks for your interest. \[Houzz Story on the Grain Bin Residence\[(https://www.houzz.com/magazine/houzz-tour-prairie-grain-bin-turned-bucolic-retirement-home-stsetivw-vs~33856520) --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
