The Wyoming is one of Yankee Barn Homes’ most recent designs. It has been a fun plan to watch develop as being an east coast company, we don’t get the opportunity to design in the western lodge architectural style as often as we’d like. Speaking of which, who says you have to actually live in the west to love the architecture? But I digress…
Single floor living in a multilevel home is one of the most popular “aging-in-place” floor plan designs now being created at YBH. As previously discussed in a post titled Next-Gen housing at Yankee Barn, we find our clients are building multilevel homes that suit the needs of family at all stages in life. Today’s clients are looking for a home that suits them now and down the road. This is an evolution from…
Mid Century Modern architecture in the American iteration, came about after World War II as a means to bring modernism to the post-war suburbs. Emphasizing structures with expansive glass and open floor plans, the style’s main goal was to open up interior spaces and bring the outdoors in. Many original Mid Century Modern homes used a post and beam architectural design to eliminate the need for bulky support walls…
Our newest contemporary post and beam barn home combines the best of two worlds; an open floor plan layout and the essence of a New England barn. The house has many interesting features, but one that immediately stands out is the…

This just in… Yankee Barn Homes builds barn houses 365 days a year. A prime example is The Cabot, a large barn style home currently going up in the midst of one very cold New Hampshire winter-wonderland. Located in close proximity to the White Mountains range, The Cabot….
Single story floor plans are a very popular option for many of Yankee Barn’s clients. However, this does not mean a sacrifice in any architectural features or type of space requirements you might need. As with multiple level homes, YBH can create a floor plan that is just right for you. Today Post and Beam Living features a new plan called The Ashuelot Lodge. Built by an empty nest couple desiring single story floor plans for themselves, the house also includes…
Post and beam historical renovation is tricky. Okay, any historical renovation is tricky. At Yankee Barn we go the extra distance to make sure not only all is as it should be for the permitting process in a historical district, but also to be sure the needs and wishes of the owners are met. Guidelines and restrictions often present challenges. That’s where Yankee Barn’s amazing team comes to the rescue…
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 …
