Synopsis

If you love the look of traditional buildings and need a new garage, guest house, small home, backyard office, stable, studio or workshop, this is the book for you.

Seventeen talented architects and designers provided drawings of 44 of their best Carriage Barns. All have the charm of yesterday's carriage houses, but they're all modern designs that you can build from efficient blueprints or building kits. Since many of the buildings have flexible plans and optional sizes, there are actually 142 different layouts here for you to choose from.

The book includes a gallery of 26 authentic 19th century carriage barns for your inspiration, and a directory of 168 catalogs and websites with sources of old-time hardware, vintage timber frames, coach house lamps, stable equipment, cupolas, weather vanes, and much more.
