The property is located in area without electricity. The barn is designed to let light in throughout the day minimizing the need for electrical lighting. One side holds the tractor and implements and the other is the wood shop.
The out house has two main principles: light filled and dry. The elemental design rains light down into the structure while efficiently shedding the rain water.
