A structurally engineered three-story gambrel barn designed to maximize space within a tight 12ft x 18ft footprint. The ground floor is heavily reinforced and optimized for meat rabbits and hair sheep, featuring advanced moisture/ammonia mitigation and structural concrete anchorage. The upper two levels feature beautiful, lofted living spaces: a mid-level kitchen/living area and a top-level cozy bedroom loft tucked under a traditional gambrel roof truss system. Douglas Fir-Larch framing throughout ensures massive structural capacity to resist wind load overturning moments.
