86 SPRING 2020 shop nshoremag.com/nshorehome/ The market for what Yankee Barn does is surging, Rosen says, for a variety of reasons. The construction field is suffering from shortages of qualified labor, he notes, making the speed with which a Yankee Barn home can be erected very appealing. The pre-insulated panels and tight building envelope the prefabricated pieces provide are a big selling point for increasingly eco-conscious consumers. And the post-and-beam style offers something natural and traditional to people who may be a little worn out by the glowing screens and constant connectivity of the modern world, Rosen says. "There's this kind of desire of people to nest in homes in a more traditional manner," Rosen says. "Barn-style housing represents handmade, American-style housing that's in contrast to the pace of people's lives these days." To commemorate Yankee Barn's 50th anniversary, the company threw a party last year inviting its customers past and present to come, talk about their homes, and share photos. The appreciation and dedication of the homeowners in the room made clear to Rosen what his company has meant throughout the years, he says. "The energy of these people and the passion for their homes is just phenomenal." yankeebarnhomes.com The timbers are kiln-dried Douglas fir.
