Chautauqua Hall offers more than 19,000 square feet of warm, inviting event space. We used massive Douglas fir timbers in this soaring hall, which features a dance floor, room for catering, and large windows that open completely, letting in both light and breezes. Cedar siding gives the exterior a bright, natural look. Photographer: Jana Bannan Photography #EventVenue #CommercialBuilding #LancasterPA

One of the biggest challenges B&D Builders faced when building this Colorado horse barn was creating a structure that reflected the beauty of the surrounding landscape. In response to that challenge, they built this A-frame gabled barn that’s perfectly suited to the Rocky Mountains. On the ground floor, six stables provide shelter for horses, while above, the second floor has ample room for hay and feed storage. A silver metal roof completes the classic barn, giving it protection from heavy snows but also dressing it up like a picture ready to be painted. https://banddbuilders.com/

Horse owners, from those with a backyard stable to those with a large equine estate, are harnessing green energy — and realizing considerable savings in energy usage and utility costs while reducing their reliance on the grid. Let's explore 10 ways the equestrian world embraces eco-friendly practices to make their day-to-day operations more sustainable. https://brnw.ch/21wR7PM #SustainableBuilding #EcoFriendly #Equestrian

This 1980s horse barn in Charlottesville underwent a massive conversion. We transformed the aisles with the addition of skylights and an arched ceiling, filling the space with natural light. #Equestrian #BarnRenovation #BarnBuilder

Thank you to our client for capturing this shot of a recently completed bank barn in Hershey, PA! Our favorite feature is the silo built into the gable end of the barn which features secret doors between the two structures.

When we — Ben Esh and Daniel Glick — started our business, we were inspired by our experiences growing up. Our families have worked with animals and the buildings they call home for generations. We were raised with that knowledge, as well as a strong work ethic, and it’s part of everything we do. Although we started by building barns, over the years we’ve applied that expertise to other structures. We enjoy working with architects on anything from luxury estates to banks and restaurants. Craftsmanship, attention to detail, and a job done right: it’s how we were trained, but it’s also just who we are at B&D Builders. Photographer: Jana Bannan Photography

From the shell of a mid-20th-century cement block barn, a refreshed and repurposed barn emerged. Cedar siding and stone wainscoting elevate the aesthetic of the structure, while green window frames, doorways, and gooseneck barn lights accentuate a striking color palette that’s also echoed in the steel seamed roof. Three large cupolas adorn the roofline, letting in light and serving as ventilation to catch barnyard breezes. #BarnRestoration #BarnBuilder #Restoration

Distinctive details help set your business apart. When building the show office at TerraNova Equestrian Center, we utilized the same sleek, dark wood that’s present throughout the other buildings on the property. A stone fireplace that rises towards the open-rafter ceiling lends a welcoming feel to the space, while the iron chandelier provides a sense of rustic luxury. Above, a loft offers collaborative meeting space with custom lighting gently illuminating the scene. Photographer: Jana Bannan Photography #CommercialBuilder #CustomBuilder #OfficeDesign
