This multipurpose structure in Bend, Oregon combines work and leisure under one roof. Based on a Shasta RV Barn Kit from DC Structures, this unique post and beam building features a large garage area with ample room for vehicles and storage on the main level, along with a connecting foyer and enclosed shed roof that serves as an RV garage bay.

Additionally, our clients can take advantage of two offices with a shared bathroom and a craft room with a storage closet and private bathroom on the second story.
Modifications to the original model include reducing the roof pitch from 4/12 to 3/12, extending the deck from 196 square feet to 335 square feet, and adding a 784 sq. ft. shed roof for RV storage. For visual appeal, our clients also added a 72 sq. ft. covered entry with a decorative timber truss and a 12′ mortise and tenon radius bottom chord timber truss to the front gable. The exterior features cedar board and batten siding and Andersen™ 100 Series windows designed with tempered glass and a colonial window grid.

When these clients came to us to discuss their custom home in Gold Beach, Oregon, they were in a bind. Their previous contractor had been removed from the project after the structure was partially built, leaving the building to weather the elements of the southern Oregon coast for three years before the DC Builders team arrived. However, once on-site, our team immediately got to work ripping out the compromised sheathing, roofing, and stair material and proceeded to rebuild and finish the structure. The result is a stunning custom home with four bedrooms, five and a half bathrooms, and a three-car attached garage located just a quarter-mile from the beach. The main level features a spacious open-concept dining and family room area with a well-appointed kitchen, as well as a great room with access to a covered patio. You’ll also find a master suite with a luxurious bathroom and walk-in closet, a full bath adjacent to the garage – perfect for washing up after a trip to the beach – along with a powder room, laundry room, walk-in pantry, and study nook. Upstairs, an office and three more bedrooms, each with its own full bathroom and large closet, offer guests their pick of rooms.
