We worked with our client to design an island “garage” that could store cars, boats, and landscape equipment. Conceptually the project was modeled after old barns from the area. With their simple forms and rusted/worn materials, these structures become nostalgic icons. Taking that concept and moving it toward a new and contemporary outcome, we proposed Corten steel siding and roof materials. The roof is a Corten standing seam, while the siding is Corten batten siding. The Corten products came from Bridger Steel. The project was constructed by On The River Construction who recommended having the project engineered and prefabricated by Lester Buildings. The final product is a contemporary barn with a living finish that quietly stands out. Photos by Joseph T. Meirose IV.
