Two popular siding choices that add a lot of barn style to a home are vertical barn-board siding and board and batten siding. They are both very similar methods for siding a house using vertical boards, but board and batten has more depth, texture and dimension. Barn siding, which lacks the raised batten strip, has more of a smooth ...
One common feature of barn style architecture is a cupola. Cupola comes from the Latin cupa meaning “cup”, which makes sense considering a cupola’s resemblance to an upside down cup. Throughout the years, cupolas have topped many different styles of architecture from classic barn style homes to ancient ...
For those who love the style of a classic farmhouse, but who also have a taste for all things clean and modern - this New Jersey home is bound to please. The property has several buildings designed by our in-house design department - a main house, pool house, and auto barn.
The framing in a Timberpeg home can be kept very minimal thanks to our structural insulated wall panels, and many clients opt for a simple frame that looks clean and modern.
