GARAGE/STUDIO

Here are our garage/studio ideas. 

This was my original drawing of the garage/studio. This one was done as a 4'—8' upstairs ceiling. In the end, we went with 5'-13' ceiling. It has a dramatic line.

Here is the actual building (before siding).

This picture was my original inspiration, though ours turned out much nicer.

This shows the type of windows I'd like and it looks good in corrugated steel. The bright door also inspired me to put purple doors on all the buildings of our campus.

This is a great example of corrugated steel exterior with wood trim around the windows. We decided to go with Corten Steel instead of galvanized so that it won't be too shiny in the wilderness.

This picture really inspired me to demand barn doors, which our carpenters have now constructed for us.

CORRUGATED STEEL CEILINGS

At this point, we are thinking we'd like to go with corrugated steel ceilings in the cabin in the loft, the main level and the addition. We love the modern look, the sustainability of steel and the non-off-gasing-ness of it. The way it reflects light is especially exciting. I think we can integrate it with some warmer elements like bamboo walls to make it quite cozy. I've collected some inspirational images.

I particularly like how this steel roofing is integrated with wooden beams. I think we could do this in the loft.

This kitchen layout is quite similar to what we're thinking about. I love how the steel even goes down around the windows, though I'm still thinking planning go with glass tile around the windows on the east wall of the kitchen.

Again, a nice example of wood beams with steel ceilings.

This is a picture I took of the back wall of Fancy Pants in Decorah. It is a smaller ripple and a very nice look for inside.
