Storage Building Project
Gable Entrance Storage & Office | Professional Function Meets Polished Design.
Whitewater, Wisconsin
Project Overview:
This custom post-frame storage and office project in Whitewater, Wisconsin, beautifully blends utility and design sophistication. Built in 2025, it showcases how Walters Buildings’ craftsmanship transforms a traditional storage facility into a refined, multi-purpose space that’s as functional as it is visually striking.
The Building:
Designed for both productivity and presentation, this 42′ × 64′ × 12′ building features a bold 10′ × 20′ cedar truss gable entrance that anchors the façade with natural warmth and architectural impact. A connected 18′ × 24′ × 10′ office adds everyday convenience, complete with its own 9′ × 6′ covered entry for a welcoming, professional impression.
The Interior:
Inside, the scissor-style truss system with a 1/12 pitch provides generous headroom and an open, airy feel. Epoxy-coated concrete floors deliver a clean, durable finish, while the fully insulated liner system ensures year-round comfort. Two oversized overhead doors simplify access for equipment and materials, allowing the structure to serve both as a workspace and storage hub.
This project exemplifies Walters Buildings’ hallmark of balancing beauty, strength, and flexibility in every design.
