The Barn was Alexandra's first project she worked on while working as a Project Coordinator at Carney Logan Burke Architects in Jackson Wyoming. Working under the supervision of John Carney and Matt Bowers, she compiled all drawings from the Schematic Design set to Construction Set. Alexandra also completed Construction Administration for the barn, taking weekly trips out to the site to discuss open items with the general contractor and construction team. Every corner was drawn, detailed, and coordinated to compose a nice rhythm and unique guest house.

About the Project

The Barn is located on a 15-acre site adjacent to an old log home. Comprising of approximately 2,400 square feet, the barn is inspired by a classic gambrel roof yet adds contemporary surprises, lines, and detail throughout. The structure is a rigorous four-foot rhythm of steel trusses and reclaimed timber from a Montana saw mill. All millwork and steel railing details were custom made and fabricated.

Every element in the guest Barn was drawn and detailed as a custom design. Beginning with the overall structure of the beams and trusses, every detail down to the grout in tiles lining up and lights hidden between truss elements were incorporated. The stair is open to the second floor and guest suite with a custom steel and cable railing design.
