Portfolio | Storage Barns

Storage Outbuilding, Rural, Minnesota. These three graceful storage barns house the hardworking equipment necessary to maintain a large rural property — while complying within zoning ordinances that restrict the total area of utility structures to 2,000 square feet. The barns are linked visually through common architectural forms and clustered in a courtyard arrangement to evoke rural American farm complexes. A gable-roofed barn houses tractors and trucks; a smaller barn holds tractor attachments, mowers, snowmobiles, and other equipment; and a third functions as a car garage and workshop. From a distance, the barns appear to be a small village, perfectly placed in a meadow.
