1. The Vision: Beyond a Standard Pole Barn
The client envisioned a multi-functional building that offered more than just storage. They desired a space that could potentially serve as a workshop, hobby area, or even a future guest house, all while incorporating an outdoor living space that allowed them to enjoy the beautiful Spotsylvania surroundings. The design evolved into a charming structure reminiscent of a carriage house, featuring distinct architectural elements and the valuable addition of a custom screened-in porch on the side.
2. The Build Journey: From Frame to Finish
These images offer a glimpse into the construction process:
This early stage showcases the efficiency of the post-frame construction method. You can see the robust wooden framework taking shape, clearly outlining the main structure and the separate, thoughtfully integrated space for the screened-in porch. The gable roofline and window placements hint at the building’s intended aesthetic, moving beyond a purely utilitarian form.
The final exterior reveals the successful marriage of durability and design. The contrasting siding, the elegant metal roof, the addition of brick veneer at the base, and the well-defined screened-in porch all contribute to a sophisticated look. The placement of windows suggests ample natural light within the structure. This image clearly demonstrates how a pole barn can be transformed into a visually appealing and functional space.
3. The Result: Versatility and Outdoor Living Combined
Completed in April 2017, this custom build delivered on all the client’s objectives:
- Durable and Spacious Interior: The post-frame construction provided a large, open interior, perfect for a workshop, storage, or future customization.
- Enhanced Aesthetic Appeal: The carriage house design elements elevated the building’s appearance, making it a complementary addition to the property.
- The Custom Screened-In Porch: This key feature provided a valuable outdoor living space – a comfortable and protected area to relax, entertain, and enjoy the Virginia outdoors, free from insects. It seamlessly extends the functionality of the building. This kind of custom addition is a perfect example of how to design your forever home with future needs in mind.
