Workshop Building Project:
Residential Workshop – 30′ × 56′ | Refined Design Meets Everyday Functionality.
Hartland, Wisconsin
Project Overview:
Built in 2021 in Hartland, Wisconsin, this 30′ × 56′ × 14′ residential workshop blends classic post-frame performance with a refined exterior finish that complements its upscale neighborhood surroundings. It’s a project that proves utility buildings can deliver both form and function, without compromise.
The Building:
Designed for flexibility, this post-frame workshop provides the perfect balance of workspace and visual appeal. A covered porch welcomes guests into the main entry, adding architectural interest and protection from the elements. The front façade is enhanced with mountain stack stone wainscoting, bringing texture and sophistication that elevate the building’s overall look.
Above, a 3′ × 3′ cupola topped with a cow weathervane pays homage to Wisconsin’s agricultural roots while adding a distinctive finishing touch. The 6/12 roof pitch transitions gracefully to a 4/12 pitch porch, maintaining proportion and flow throughout the structure.
Finished in beige steel siding with a bronze roof and trim, this residential workshop offers lasting durability and low maintenance while blending naturally into its surroundings. The versatile interior layout can accommodate tools, vehicles, and hobby equipment, with plenty of room left for future customization.
