This picturesque garage can serve as a storage barn, full-service mechanical workshop, studio office or workout room in 2nd level... the options are endless. Our clients outfitted this "barn" with a car hoist for changing tires or fitting multiple cars, a Tesla charging station, epoxy floors and a staircase leading to a second story loft.

Owner of a farmhouse and dairy barn wanted to bring to life the barn for a family recreational and entertainment space. We removed 60% of the 2nd floor to allow for a double-height space allowing for a basketball court, mezzanine spaces on each end, lounge entertaining on the 1st floor of one side and workout space with art room on the opposite.

Staircase - large farmhouse wooden straight staircase idea in Milwaukee with wooden risers

The 300-acre Jewell Hill farm spans a broad hilltop in Ashby, MA. Under the care, now, of the Trustees of Reservations, it's a key piece of a broader 3,500-acre contiguous area permanently protected for public enjoyment. Our colleagues at Colonial Barn Restoration were asked by The Trustees to find a new home for Jewell Hill's early 19th-century sheep barn, and found a buyer in the hills above Fitchburg just a mile South. On an idyllic hilltop of their own, this buyer's retirement homestead has developed a broad landscape of productive and recreational gardens and fields, all around the remnant foundation of a long-gone larger barn. From the Jewell Hill barn's mortise and tenon bones, and the remnant foundation on the Fitchburg site, Studio InSitu designed a new hybrid barn. The restored foundation anchors the smaller timber frame over its West half, and brackets a pair of ramps to Main floor and undercroft in its East half. The ramp down serves storage, and the ramp up serves the barn's main room - which may periodically host social gatherings. Into this assembly of pedigreed timbers and structural stone, we made one conspicuous intervention. The cupola and observation room penetrate the barn's roof like a periscope. A slender steel stair is suspended and sheathed by a wooden latticework, which provides both a foil for light and a comforting sense of enclosure. The assembly is meant to invite visitors into a tactile and intimate experience of the barn's and the landscape's contrasting volumes and scales, ultimately rewarding climbers with sweeping views of the hillside fields and valley below.
