Here are a few pics of another terrific home built by the venerable Barenz Builders. The exterior stone, provided by our friends at Halquist Stone, is a custom blend of full stone...no thin veneer here. It's a gorgeous combination of irregular shapes while still maintaining a tidy and somewhat uniform look, and the color palette gets more interesting the deeper you look at it. Nothing cookie cutter here, and very much in keeping with the overall home design and impression. And If I do say so, this is a particularly beautiful fireplace face; the combination of the 'dry stack' look, along with the stone selection really makes it pop, in this soaring and impressive great room. Just a great balance between contemporary and rustic...great choices made and really first rate all the way around. ~by Karl Zarling

Karl, this post really captures the essence of what makes Barenz Builders stand out. The way you described the custom stonework brought back memories of when I first saw a similar blend in a friend's home—it had that same unique charm and attention to detail that makes a space feel truly special. The fireplace, in particular, sounds like it would be the heart of any gathering, just as it was during cozy winter evenings spent at my grandmother’s cabin. Excellent work showcasing this beautiful home!

I love the look of this Barenz Builders home! The stonework is stunning, and you can really tell the difference in quality from the usual veneer.

This is such an innovative project, combining art, science, and real-world problem-solving! I remember doing something similar in school where we had to design sustainable homes, but we never got to build actual models—it must have been so rewarding for the students to see their designs come to life! Kudos to the author for fostering such a creative and interdisciplinary learning environment.
