Donna Brogan and her husband, Bert Hodous, turned to St. Paul, Minnesota-based Alchemy Architects, which designed and built their 2,150-square-foot home in Blair, Wisconsin, for $360,000—a feat that included a geothermal heating system, a slatted sunlit porch, and a rustic modernism that's entirely homegrown.
At $167 per square foot, this high-design, low-cost barn in rural Wisconsin is an American idyll.
