19. The Modernist Cantilevered Pavilion
For the design-conscious homesteader, a modernist pavilion featuring a dramatic cantilevered roof is the ultimate statement piece. This design uses a strong steel or timber frame to support a roof that projects far out over the entrance without the need for vertical support posts. This creates a large, unobstructed, shaded concrete patio area where goats can lounge without being exposed to rain or direct sunlight. The shelter walls can be constructed from sleek, horizontal cedar slats with narrow gaps between them, providing a perfect balance of privacy, wind protection, and modern aesthetic appeal.
