Architect: Michelle Penn, AIA This barn home is modeled after an existing Nebraska barn in Lancaster County. Heating is by passive solar design, supplemented by a geothermal radiant floor system. Cooling will rely on a whole house fan and a passive air flow system. The passive system is created with the cupola, windows, transoms and passive venting for cooling, rather than a forced air system. Here you can see the underside of the gambrel roof and the ladder leading up to the cupola. The stair & guard railing was created using goat fencing. Photo Credits: Jackson Studios

Blue, gray, black and white provide all the color needed in this orderly quarters for six. Two twin-over-full bunks line a double width, fully sound-proofed wall, to create a sleeping environment enriched by total blackout grommet panels. Window seat storage and a large closet provide all the space needed for the occupants to stay organized. Ship lap and bedding with vertical stripes add to the visual length and order in the space.
