Above 1200 Sq/FT Monitor-style Barndominium

Wokspaces above 1200 squarefeet.
The basic dimensions of the building are 48' x 48'. It's split into 3 bays that are roughly 16' wide...I cheated a few inches to make the apartment and center bay slightly wider than the right bay. The apartment has 9' ceilings, on top of a floor structure that comes out right at 12" with the 2 x 10's, sill plates and subfloor. The other walls are 10' high on top of 3+ block above the finished concrete floor, so I have roughly 12' ceiling in the shop side, except where it's open in the center. The center bay has an additional 10' wall sitting on top of the 2 x 8 ceiling joists and loft floor structures. The lofts are a structural detail to keep me on the prescriptive side of code and avoid having the 20'+ end walls engineered because they're interrupted by a floor diaphragm. The center roof pitch is 6:12, the sides are 4:12.
If there are additional details you're wondering about, let me know and I'll answer as best I can.

Love it! No real ask for framing pictures other than including them as a part of the journey. Judging by the smiling faces, I'd say it's been a great one.
That's interesting on the wall interruption detail - sometimes codes can be fussy, but glad you came up with a solution to offset.
You answered one of my (in my head) questions on the roof pitches. My head is spinning at the number of monitor barns I have looked at for some years, but the roof pitch(es) never looked right. Yours look perfect! Thanks for that.
The drafting looks spot on. Once upon a time I got an Associates degree for mechanical drafting, so I certainly have an appreciation for it even if I'm no good outside of the 3D world on a screen - which even that has been over a decade ago since I've really spent time. It's become a lost art for those that still have the ability to whip out the drafting table and go to work.
Any idea on the dimensions here? Some are omitted or unable for me to read at least on my screen.

Gorgeous building....very nicely proportioned
@spazzyfry123 I think this is what you’re asking about. The dimensions are the approximate heights above finished grade of the eaves and peak.
Note this was before we realized there was going to be a basement, so it shows a crawlspace access instead of the centered doors I ended up with…

Perfect! Thanks for this. Excited to see more as you keep it rolling...@spazzyfry123 I think this is what you’re asking about. The dimensions are the approximate heights above finished grade of the eaves and peak.

I got a lot done over the weekend getting ready to hang siding on another wall. Mainly trim stuff…it was cold and wet so I didn’t get quite as much done as I wanted.
One thing photo worthy was getting the light over the basement door mocked up. This is a 12” diameter fixture. I had to convince my OCD it was OK to hang it slightly off center because there’s a stud exactly centered over the door opening
One of the guys I work with is going to powder coat the goosenecks and other light hardware for me. I’m waiting on swatches from Prismatic Powder so I can make the best match and get powder ordered.

Must look past the non centered light……
my wife laughs every time I pull into park, then I have to pull forward and then back because I was not exactly straight in the bay! All the pictures in our house are so level you could calibrate your machinist level on them!

Found this build a few days ago and have been following along. Hello from a neighbor, as you are just down the road from me it seems. I have a good friend that lives in the Iron Station area. I am over in Huntersville. I really love the monitor style barn build. The custom metal doors you have created are extremely impressive. I would never have considered making those out of metal like that instead of wood but they came out awesome.

Oh nice. They have a cool spot over there. Daily traffic on 73 is a mess for sure.
