Pole Barn Carriage House to Fit with Topography South of Denver

South of Denver, many homes in the rolling hills could use a pole barn carriage house out back. Are you thinking of hobbies but have no place for them yourself? Let’s talk about a smartly designed carriage house for you. Or you could think of it as a coach house or remise as they originated as outbuildings used to house horse-drawn carriages, tack, and hay.

If you live on a farm, call it a cart shed. From the British era, these single-story buildings had no fronts. That may not work so well in Colorado where the weather gets chilly. This type of carriage house attempted to protect carriages from the weather and they usually opened towards the stables for easy access to the horses and roads.

Many Ways to Define Carriage Houses

Now we are a couple of centuries removed from those days and the carriage house evokes many more understandings. Original carriage houses are now converted. You’ve seen them as garages, offices, workshops, apartments and guest houses as well as retail shops. One of the newest uses for the carriage house concept takes from those early outbuildings placed near the stables and property line. It is the “patio home” or the “clustered home.” All generate a warm and cozy feeling. But you only need an outbuilding, right?

Carriage House Designs

No wonder the concept of a pole barn carriage house sounds appealing. These utilitarian buildings were located near the main home. The rolling foothills of Douglas County and the fields of Elbert County seem to beg for more carriage houses. The charming outbuildings complement large estates and smaller homes alike. And the interior large span of a pole barn can accommodate your collector cars, a pool room, workshop, and anything else you’d like to have close by.
