A barn built of stone can make for a gorgeous wedding venue, if only the owner has the vision. Our team of professionals used their skill, talent, and a lot of time to work within the client’s budget and made that vision a reality.
Alexander Nicholson was engaged to renovate such a barn, one built in Albemarle County around the turn of the 20th century. Formerly a horse barn, it originally had a second floor and hay loft. With these removed, the crew began work with a stone barn open floor to ceiling.
This project had a very short turnaround time, and a firm deadline, as the space was to be used for an upcoming wedding. In three and a half months, the team added all utilities to support the barn’s future use as a winery, as well as preparing it to be a stunning wedding venue. A large and highly skilled carpentry team worked 55+ hour weeks during the allotted time, bringing in subcontractors, all of whom put in great effort to pull this project off in time. At the end of the build, there were just two nail-biting days left until the wedding ceremony. The clients were thrilled with the end result.
David Williams of Alexander Nicholson was the site superintendent, who worked with drive and commitment to complete this project on time. David worked closely with Robert and Cecelia Nichols from Formwork Architecture to implement the design intentions.
