About This Project

The Barn, located in Bennet, NE, is a remarkable fusion of modern sustainability and traditional craftsmanship, drawing inspiration from an existing barn in Lancaster County, Nebraska. Designed by architect Michelle Penn, AIA, this unique barn home showcases a thoughtful approach to energy efficiency and aesthetic appeal. The design incorporates a passive cooling system, featuring a strategically placed floor grill that facilitates the circulation of cool air from the basement during the warmer months. This innovative feature not only enhances comfort but also exemplifies the principles of passive solar design, where heating is primarily achieved through natural sunlight, complemented by an advanced geothermal radiant floor system nestled beneath the elegant wood floors in the hall. The choice of materials throughout The Barn reflects a commitment to authenticity and durability. The interior walls are constructed with tongue and groove pine, offering a warm, inviting atmosphere that pays homage to traditional barn aesthetics. The railings, crafted from goat fencing, add a rustic charm while ensuring safety and functionality. Color selections, such as the Paper Mache AF-25 from Benjamin Moore, harmonize with the overall design, creating a cohesive look that is both contemporary and rooted in the past. Noteworthy design elements, such as the traditional style interior transoms above the doors, enhance the architectural character of the space, allowing natural light to flow seamlessly from room to room. The result is a home that is not only visually stunning but also embodies a lifestyle of comfort and sustainability. Each detail has been meticulously considered, resulting in a space that invites relaxation and connection with nature. The Barn stands as a testament to innovative design, blending modern living with the timeless essence of Nebraska's agricultural heritage, making it an ideal choice for anyone seeking a unique and efficient home.
