I live in The Bennington Carriage House. Full disclosure, I’m BeamBabe. Seven years ago my husband and I designed The Bennington Carriage House with the help of the talented staff at Yankee Barn Homes. I did not work for Yankee Barn at the time (that came later). Today I want to talk about what it’s like to actually live in a Yankee Barn, 6 years and counting…
Yankee Barn Shop Foreman, Ryan Avery, plays an integral part in each YBH build. He’s the unsung hero of each and every Yankee Barn that’s built, and definitely someone you’d like to know. We recently spoke with Ryan about himself and his job and YBH. The role he plays in each build project is a big one; from determining the build sequence to …
If barn house construction is in your future, you’ll want to meet Jay Fountain. As Estimator and member of the YBH Engineering Department, Jay wears several hats and is uniquely qualified in both the design and estimating the cost per square foot of a Yankee Barn home.
If you’re looking for barn house plans, you’ve come to the right place. Our latest design is aptly named Boulder Meadows, as it is sited on a New England hillside overlooking a pasture littered with field stone. Coming in at under 2000 sq ft (1902, to be exact) the post and beam open-concept home packs a lot of punch into its rectangle foot print…
Yankee Barn talks with Business Development Director, Kerri White. Kerri has a long history in home design, and strong ideas about Yankee Barn Homes…
Our barn style home, The Grantham Lakehouse, has been completed. All it needs now is furniture, which will happen shortly. Jeffrey Rosen, Creative Director at YBH, is busy scouring the globe for just the right pieces…
Barn doors come in all shapes and sizes. Interior, exterior, sliding, hinged, and stationary are just a few of the different styles we’ve used at Yankee Barn. If the barn door exists (and sometimes when it hasn’t), Yankee Barn has most likely incorporated it into one of our designs.
At YBH we’re all about the barn lifestyle and our latest, The Sutton Barn, is no different. While YBH does indeed build post and beam homes, we also build really great post and beam barns/garages for a very competitive price! The Sutton Barn comes in at 24′ x 36′ of great storage space combined with a lot of fun. Why build ordinary, when extraordinary is also possible? Did someone say family gathering space, an impromptu dance or yes, even a game of basketball? Why yes, all these things become possible when you work with the team at YBH. But in case you’re thinking this is not a working barn, let me assure you, this beauty is tasked with many of the standard duties, too.
The Yankee Barn in Tiverton, RI is not just any barn. It’s a post and beam barn that lives a full four-season life on a farm that just happens to grow Christmas trees. While the holidays are indeed a busy season, one should not make the mistake of thinking the barn at Clarks Christmas Tree…
This is a story of a farmhouse named “Freedom Hill”. We’ll get to the origins of the name in part two of this post. Today, I want to relay how this Yankee Barn came to be. The homeowners always dreamed of building a post and beam and, as now happens quite often, found us on…
The cupola is one of those architectural features some may think of as an “ornament” or an add-on. Well, at Yankee Barn Homes not only do we love the idea of the cupola, we design and create them like no other post and beam company. Seriously, we’re the only post and beam company out there that…
We have some exciting new builds going on at Yankee Barn Homes. Although the two projects featured today are at the opposite end of the spectrum size-wise, they are the perfect projects to showcase the custom capabilities of Yankee Barn Homes. A classic Victorian style barn home we call The Mill River sits lakeside in…
