It is built for tough duty and super high wind loads. This structure is built tough for regular Barn-Use but also features an attractive exterior that blends old world barn with a more modern aesthetic.

Metro Design: 

This client wanted to do a more modern spin on the typical barn design and so we selected the Metro which features a drop curve design that is especially useful in higher wind load applications. The Metro design adds modern twist to the traditional barn ideal.

Framing Started: Light gauge infill framing is being installed in the walls of the Metro Barn.
Overhead Doors are being framed out to the specific door size opening.
After the framing is completed then sheeting will be installed on the exterior of the building, while foam insulation will be applied on the interior walls as well as under the roof.
All glazing installed including the large view window at the front of the structure. The mechanically fastened stone work is installed the knee wall, all interior framing installed as well as the custom overhead doors. We are awaiting the custom fireplace stone as well as interior fireplace stone surrounds. The next steps on the exterior will be installing the wood look aluminum cladding panels.
The Metro Barn has a 23' Eave height which allows for a second floor or auxiliary storage, this large eave height allows for very defined architectural elements like the large commercial glass window as shown. These focal elements add to the overall design creating a striking structure that is more than its parts.
The Metro Barn utilizes several different claddings to achieve a modern barn - like aesthetic. The red architectural vertical panel claddings along with one of our in house aluminum panels that replicate a wood look combined with our mechanically fastened stone panels give the building a distinctive character.
