Big Barn in Narrowsburg - Done (phase 1)



The Big Big Barn in Narrowsburg is just finishing up Phase 1, the house and barn project.  With 17 acres and a lake, I expect Phase 2 to center around the grounds.

That's the house up above and the garage down below.




It took us about a year to put these babies up and considering everything that went into them, that's pretty speedy.








The 4 door garage with space upstairs turned out real nice.




Lots of deck, some covered, some screened, some elevated.




With 17 acres there was a lot of different places to put the house.



Here's the mudroom, with a bench, a roof panel backsplash, double closet, local stone, natural ceiling.













The hole house is about openness and light.  We used 3 residential garage doors that operate real smooth as the defining house accent.


















Lots of stone on the inside and the outside.




This is a shot of the master bedroom, which is open to the rest of the house.




Stainless steel hanging orb..




And a swanky shower.  We used 3x6 subway tile with black grout in all 6 bathrooms.




From the bath, the barn.




Drawers from the vanity out cause we just did templated a concrete countertop, which turned out really good.





Here's the upstairs of the garage.



And a frontal on the garage doors.





Floor to ceiling subway tile.




And a phone pull string toilet.



2 good bedrooms on the first floor, each with a bath.





And a kitchen that sprawls in a few directions.



We went back and forth on the garage design  - glad we ended up where we did.





Master Bath toilet.





Exposed spiral ductwork.




Going down in the basement...



With polished concrete floors, a pool, wine room and media room.



















In a way, it's harder to build a small home than a large one.  But we had a lot of fun here and really turned out an architecturally unique and modest homestead to be enjoyed for years to come, I'm sure.
