Adaptive Re-use of Barn to Recreational Purpose

This 20th century dairy barn conversion for recreational use required the repair of the existing timber frame and the construction of significant additional timber framing. Work included developing shop drawings needed to procure the necessary logs, milling the logs into timbers, laying out the needed connections, cutting the necessary joinery for the replacement of the three internal bents of the barn. This involved following the sketch provided by the client's architect & engineer.
