Award-Winning Barndominium Features ActivWall Gas Strut Window
Barndominium living continues to surge in popularity, blending rustic charm with modern luxury. Elevation Home Builders of Indiana embraced this trend in their stunning entry for the 2023 Elkhart County Parade of Homes—a breathtaking barndominium that seamlessly merges indoor and outdoor living.
This 3,626-square-foot masterpiece is as functional as it is beautiful. The expansive open-concept living area features custom-made cabinetry, high-end finishes, and an innovative ActivWall Gas Strut Window that enhances the home’s connection to nature.
At the heart of the home’s entertaining space is the Gas Strut Window, measuring an impressive 96″ x 60″. This unique window effortlessly lifts open on sturdy gas struts, creating a smooth pass-through between the indoor wine bar and the outdoor courtyard. With a no-sill design, it provides an uninterrupted transition, while the extended countertop below serves as a stylish outdoor bar—perfect for hosting gatherings or enjoying quiet evenings under the stars.
Beyond its striking aesthetics, this barndominium is packed with thoughtful design elements, including:
✔ A hidden walk-in pantry cleverly disguised behind custom cabinetry for a seamless look. ✔ A secondary ensuite, ideal for guests or multi-generational living. ✔ Ample storage space, ensuring both style and practicality for a growing family.
The attention to detail and craftsmanship did not go unnoticed. Elevation Home Builders’ barndominium earned top honors at the Parade of Homes, taking home awards for Kitchen Design in a Luxury Home, Owners Suite in a Luxury Home, and the coveted People’s Choice Award.
