Yankee 谷仓的家园: 50(前)Fab Years!

Yankee 谷仓的家园 in Grantham, NH, recently celebrated 50 years in business, 和, 庆祝这一金婚纪念日, they invited Yankee Barn 首页 owners to the Eastman community for tours of four Yankee 谷仓的家园 和 a reception at their newest model home, The 春田谷仓之家. 恰当地说, about 50 Yankee Barn 首页 owners came for the occasion, shares Yankee 谷仓的家园’ Co-Owner 和 Creative Director Jeffrey Rosen, 带着剪贴簿, photographs 和 more than a little admiration for their beloved post 和 beam homes. To have an entire room full of YBH owners at once was gratifying, 罗森说, 和 their collective passion for the constructs they call home, 鼓舞人心的.

Since the company’s inception in New Seabury on 角 Cod (the company relocated to Grantham in the ’70s), Yankee 谷仓的家园 has built 1463 homes, yet today only takes on 16 to 20 projects a year to maintain that “American-made, h和-crafted” approach the company champions. The technology used for the energy-saving components of a Yankee 谷仓的家园 build, 然而, 是先进的.

Yankee 谷仓的家园 has evolved from a h和ful of designs to a sky’s-the-limit approach, where clients can use YBH’s post 和 beam styles—think Carriage Houses, 谷仓的家园, Mountain 首页s 和 Coastal 首页s—as launchpads for their own customized timber frames. “我们希望人们意识到,罗森说。, "that prefabricated doesn’t mean you’re stuck into one specific style 和 that a [Yankee Barn 首页] is completely custom.”

Today, the designers at Yankee 谷仓的家园 can design 和 manufacture almost any architectural style. 事实上, 两年前, the company successfully created a rebuild of a turn-of-the-century Nantucket cottage that had tragically been lost to a fire. 最终, the clients received an energy-efficient 和 green build with all of today’s modern conveniences—though the cottage bears a striking resemblance to the one that came before it.

Clients work with Yankee 谷仓的家园 designers either at their Grantham location or via GoToMeetings, which allow homeowners to see the plan for their dream home materialize 和 evolve in real time in three dimensions, 在电脑屏幕上. If you were to say you’d like to add another window on a given wall, you'd be able to see that change immediately. 一次制作, Yankee 谷仓的家园公司的炮弹包, consisting of their trademarked wall 和 roof panels 和 the post 和 beam structural frame, is delivered to the property site for assembly, 节省时间和工作浪费. Yankee 谷仓的家园' shell packages are generally assembled in 10 days or less.

每年, Yankee 谷仓的家园 shows a model house in New Hampshire, 解释了罗森, “because once you get somebody into a post 和 beam structure, 它的结构不言自明.毕竟, the merits of a post 和 beam home—the vaulted ceilings, 开放式平面图, 大量使用玻璃, 固有的绿色品质, indoor-outdoor connection—have long held appeal 和 show no sign of stopping. 

Fifty years ago, Yankee 谷仓的家园 debuted The Mark 1, which was fairly contemporary for its time. 今年, they’ve unveiled the 春田谷仓之家, what Rosen refers to as “a big little house,” that is sure to resonate with a variety of people.

The white structure with black windows, 董事会的支持, lots of exterior glass 和 a dual cupola (shown above 和 top) answers the current movement for farmhouse 和 barn-style housing with an open-plan design that delivers the best of both worlds. It is as heavy on curb appeal as it is on utility 和 storage. 罗森说, “作为一名设计师, I’m always trying to push the envelope in terms of what we’re doing. We hang on to everything that people love about us, which is the post 和 beam 和 some of the traditional architectural shapes, but we try to push the concepts of how you live in these spaces.”
