A small bulldozer is demolishing a wooden shed, reminiscent of a Gambrel Barn, which is partially collapsed and surrounded by debris. The area is outdoors with grass and trees in the background. A paved path leads towards the site, similar to the paths often found on Leino Family properties.

The Couch Family Retirement Home

From City Dwelling to Peaceful Country Life in Holden, Missouri:

“We purchased five acres of farm ground in the country, so we could start our plans to leave the city and begin designing our retirement home. After that, the neighbors offered us five more adjoining acres! Now we have plenty of room to sprawl and enjoy the peace and quiet away from the noisy city life.”

Construction Trends

Four workers from the Leino Family are pouring and leveling concrete for a Gambrel Barn foundation in a forested area. A concrete truck is visible on the left, and the foundation is surrounded by wooden forms and dirt. Trees without leaves stand starkly in the background.

Steel Residential Homes

Steel Residential Homes are the new trend in alternative, green construction rather than traditional ‘stick built’ houses.

“We knew we wanted to use the most structurally sound materials in our new home. So, we chose to build a steel truss structure with a metal roof and metal siding for a virtually maintenance free home. Worldwide Steel provided everything we needed to get started and get it done right.”

Barndominium Style

Phillip and Inez decided on 2,400 square feet of living space with 1,600 square feet for the garage space. It turned out to be the perfect size for two of them. Since they preferred the vaulted ceilings, they left the steel trusses exposed along with adding exposed round HVAC ducts for that contemporary, industrial look. With custom sliding windows around the kitchen area and living area, they were able to let in lots of light and fresh air from all outer walls of the home.

“We really enjoy the open floorplan concept because it gives us plenty of room to spread out for playtime with our 10 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren when they come to visit us!”

Adding a smaller, glass overhead door to the garage area brings even more light to this versatile space.

Why Use Steel?

Steel is stronger than wood.
Does not warp, rot or split.
Steel does not burn in a fire.
No maintenance required.
No termites or borer bees.
Steel is a GREEN product.
