Having built recently for their relation, the owners of this beautiful Farmstead in southeastern Allen County approached us about building a new home for them. On the site, amongst several agricultural buildings, stood a home that was built in the late 1800's. Sadly, the home that had served the family for so many years had been unoccupied for some time and was no longer a candidate for renovation. Although demolition and building new was the path chosen, the owners did want the new home to be positioned in the same spot as the existing home had sat on for so many years. Lynn then designed a home that meets the owner's wants and needs. The result is a 3 bedroom home with 2 1/2 baths and a separate office. There is also a hobby room on the main floor with its own heating and cooling system. A secondary stairs from [...]
New Barndominium Construction Underway in Kosciusko County, Indiana
Having completed a beautiful new custom lake home on Sawmill Lake a couple of years ago, the owners of that home approached us about building a barndominium on a lot nearby. In a very unique arrangement, the storage portion of the structure will be pole barn construction built by Pacemaker Buildings. We are fortunate to have a great working relationship with Pacemaker and when they are completed with their portion of the project, we will take over to build the home portion with conventional construction methods. Attached to the 50' x 78' pole barn, will be an 1,800 square foot, three bedroom home with 2 full baths. An additional half bath will be constructed in the storage area for the convenience of the users of that area. A full sized kitchen will be part of an open center area of the home which will contain the nook and great room [...]
Turkey Lake Family Home
The owners of this property on Turkey Lake in Steuben County, decided that their existing home was just not suitable to accommodate their growing family. The importance of being able to host their adult children and grandchildren for extended visits was prioritized in the design of the home. With that in mind and with their wish to avoid any need for zoning variances to be granted, Lynn set out to design this one of a kind home for the owners. Construction began as soon as the existing home was demolished. As is common for lake properties, the foundation was engineered to accommodate soils unsuitable for conventional construction. The result is a 4 bedroom home with the owner's bedroom on the main floor. A bonus room on the 2nd floor provides additional space for the kids. A large compartmentalized main bath on the 2nd floor enables three people to privately simultaneously [...]
Barndominium Style Home in Ft. Wayne
What was once a term used to describe a building that was largely garage with an apartment style living area, the "Barndominium" now sometimes refers to a loosely defined style instead of the usage of space in the structure. This home we currently have under construction in northern Ft. Wayne leans more to the definition of style instead of application of space. Instead of the predominant use of the space in this structure being garage, there is a substantial amount of space devoted to entertaining which is exactly what the owners are hoping for. With the direction of the owners, Lynn has designed a home that will deliver on the wishes the owners have in mind. When completed, the home portion of the building will offer four bedrooms, all with their own full baths. There will be a voluminous central great room area with a soaring beamed ceiling and clerestory [...]
Lake Cottage Tear Down and New Home Construction on Clear Lake
After seeing a new home constructed by our company on one side of this site and two extensive remodel/additions performed by us on the other side, the owner of the lot apparently was impressed enough with our work to come to us with the desire to remove the existing cottage and build new. As is the case with most lake properties, there are unique characteristics with this site that needed to be taken into account in the planning of the new home. With direction from the owners, Lynn designed a home to meet their wishes and be positioned to fit nicely on the site. The result will be a 7 bedroom, 6 1/2 bath home with a one car attached garage. The primary bedroom will be located on the main level with an office located across the hall as well as the kitchen and great room. Incorporated in the design [...]
