From Vision to Reality: How Phill Bettis Transformed His ARCO Building into a Dream Barndominium
From Vision to Reality: How Phill Bettis Transformed His ARCO Building into a Dream Barndominium
For Phill Bettis and his family, home is more than just a place to rest; it’s a space where generations come together, memories are made, and new experiences unfold. Nestled in the scenic town of Cumming, Georgia, Phill’s property has been in his family since the 1800s. When it came time to expand, he wanted a structure that honored the land’s history while meeting the needs of his modern family. With the help of ARCO Building Systems and his salesperson Bailey McBride, Phill created a custom barndominium and event space that serves as a home, office, and gathering hub.
The Vision: A Space for Family, Fun, and Functionality
When Phill first set out to build on his family’s property, he had a clear vision in mind. He wanted something versatile—a space that his entire family could enjoy, especially his grandkids. The new building needed to be more than just a home; it needed to function as an event venue, office, and storage solution while serving as a central hub for family activities and relaxation.
Phill envisioned a structure that was robust, affordable, and customizable—one that could host everything from family gatherings to larger celebrations and offer plenty of space for his grandkids to play.
ARCO Building Systems: The Perfect Foundation
To bring his dream to life, Phill teamed up with ARCO Building Systems and worked closely with salesperson Bailey McBride. Bailey helped guide Phill through the process of selecting the perfect building for his unique needs. With ARCO’s reputation for delivering high-quality pre-engineered steel buildings, Phill was confident that they could provide a solution that was both durable and flexible.
ARCO supplied the steel shell of the building, offering the wide-open space Phill needed. This allowed for maximum customization inside while maintaining the structural integrity and cost-effectiveness ARCO is known for.
Bailey McBride: Guiding the Vision to Reality
Phill’s collaboration with Bailey McBride played a crucial role in the success of his project. Bailey worked closely with Phill to ensure the building design met all his needs, from its size and layout to ensuring it fit within the aesthetic of the historic property.
Bailey’s expert guidance helped Phill make key decisions throughout the process, guaranteeing that the steel building shell provided the right balance of functionality and customization options for Phill’s plans.
Crafting a Custom Look
Once ARCO delivered the building shell, Phill assembled a skilled group of professionals, including local builder, Tim McHugh, interior designer, Priscilla Rhinehart, and a team of painters to transform the space into a functional and beautiful barndominium. Tim took charge of finishing the structure, while Priscilla created a cohesive, welcoming environment. The painters added the final touches, bringing to life the rustic charm Phill envisioned for his family’s historic Cumming property. The open floor plan offered flexibility, perfect for both his grandkids’ playtime and family gatherings. Phill also integrated smart storage solutions and a home office, creating a space that serves both personal and professional needs.
A Legacy for Future Generations
Phill’s property has been in his family for over a century, and it was important to him that this new building not only met his family’s needs today but also honored their legacy. His barndominium and event space is more than just a functional building—it’s a symbol of family, tradition, and growth.
Thanks to ARCO Building Systems and Bailey McBride, Phill was able to create a space that will serve his family for generations. Whether they’re hosting gatherings or simply spending time together, this multi-purpose building has become the heart of their historic property.
