to create a new structure. Jon tells us more about this unique home and the process the company followed to build it.“ This project is set to be completed late winter 2025 or early spring 2026. We were initially approached by a gentleman who had purchased a property with a barn built in the 1880s. His idea was to transform the barn into a livable space. Unfortunately, on inspection, we discovered that the existing structure was not suitable for immediate conversion. As a result, we carefully deconstructed the barn, salvaging many elements such as the beams, siding, posts inside the barn, and wood elements. We then constructed a brand new structure, including a solid foundation, framing, and roofing. Then, we integrated as much of the old barn as we possibly could, including the wooden elements. This design follows a style called barndominium, which is more about aesthetics than a cost-effective building method, as some might think. This home is almost 6000 square feet and when walking in, it truly feels like a structure built back in the 1880s, albeit enhanced with modern technology and building techniques,” he enlightens.
Advanced approaches
Style and aesthetics aside, building energyefficient homes is of the utmost importance for Premier, in line with its commitment to sustainability.“ Our focus is on building homes tailored for the Northwest, taking into account the climate and characteristics of the area.
