The Bald Hill Barn: A Western Inspired Timber Frame Party Barn

We used massive Douglas fir timbers to create the design for this barn. 12x12 posts, a 20' rafter plate height, and impressive hammer beam trusses support this barn and catch your eye as soon as you step inside. LED chandeliers and LED uplighting in the rafter bays shine across the barn and gleam off of the floors, which have been polished to 800 grit for a glass-like appearance. There’s a seating area up front, and farther back you’ll find a full bar set in front of a Boston Blend stone accent wall. Each lean-to offers additional space for storage. One lean-to shows off tractors, bikes, and snowmobiles, with a live edge timber frame workbench in the back. The other lean to has a built-in 6' x 12' walk-in cooler concealed by a Spanish cedar sliding barn door. Leading upstairs is a custom timber frame staircase, 5' wide and with 3" thick reclaimed oak stair treads, lined with one-of-a-kind twisted corten steel stair railings. The gallery loft offers more seating and a ping pong table, with oak flooring and a gas fireplace. Here you’ll get an incredible view of the rolling hills out of the expansive glass window. Black powder coated hardware throughout the interior matches the decorative steel straps on the hammer beam trusses and the custom powder coated baseplates. The Bald Hill Barn is an ideal gathering spot year-round, thanks to the radiant heating in the floors, mini split systems for cooling, and full SIP insulation. Let’s take a closer look at the details in this barn.
