Bank Barn by the Pool

24' x 32' Plymouth Carriage Barn, Connecticut

A bank barn is characterized by ground level entrances on each floor. We commonly see bank barns built into the sides of hills, like this barn here. A 24' x 32' Plymouth Carriage Barn serves several uses on this property, thanks to its placement on a hill. The first floor has two overhead doors, making it the ideal garage, and upstairs, the barn is used as a pool house, with French doors leading to the backyard. Let’s take a closer look.

Because of the way this barn is built, the foundation extends upwards through the hill. A stone veneer, along with pine siding, helps to conceal the foundation around the barn. Pine faced overhead doors, along with Spanish cedar entryways, lead inside the barn. Bow top windows and transom windows let in plenty of natural light. There’s a cantilever ridge beam extending outside of the barn for visual appeal. A copper top cupola adds a nice touch to the top of this barn. Let’s head inside.

The first floor is used as a garage, with two overhead doors for easy access. This floor is great for parking cars, lawn equipment, and bicycles. You’ll see a timber frame workbench on this floor, too. The customer concealed the foundation wall with pine siding to preserve the feel of the barn. Head upstairs to the second floor pool house. Two comfortable seating areas are a great space to hang out with family and friends. A sliding barn door reveals a changing room, where guests can prepare for a day in the pool. A reverse gable dormer was constructed on this floor, and features a set of French doors that lead guests to the backyard pool.

With a bank barn, the versatility of post & beam is even more evident. Two separate ground level entryways—one on each floor—allow for endless possibilities for use. To get started on your own timber frame barn, check out our website or contact our team of experts.
