About Barnraisers

We are here to help you imagine and create the spaces you want to live, learn, and work in. In the pre-industrialized and early industrialized world people lived and worked together in a collaboration that fed and housed them. An archtypal image of this collaboration in the early United states was the barn raising. Here the village got together for very short periods of time and built a post and beam barn. In this spirit, we are dedicated to collaborative design, development, and building.
