2015 Hobby Shop Building of the Year - 3rd Place

The featured building of 2015 is a hobby shop sitting on a beautiful home site with a custom home nearby. Its dimensions fit nicely on the lot and the building adds a lot of versatility. Currently, it is storing a restored 1948 John Deere tractor purchased by the building owner’s grandfather.

Post frame construction was the perfect option for this project because it offered design flexibility at a competitive rate. The porch construction would have been less feasible and more costly with steel.
