After the barn was restored, a plan was developed to create three guest bedrooms in the silo, which was connected to the barn with a staircase accessing each bedroom and a bathroom.
The staircase connecting the silo to the barn.
New doors were custom crafted to close off each entry.
The barn was a massive project all on its own. No longer supported by a solid foundation the barn was sinking into the ground. The entire barn had to be raised up nine inches in order to build proper support and stop the barn from further sinking into the ground.

A new steel roof and all new board and baton siding was installed to completely seal off the barn from outside elements.
Inside the barn the original post and beam was lacking in structural support and large portions of it needed to be replaced.
A custom metal railing details the central silo staircase.
A large bank of windows provide a view of the back property from the staircase.
The top guest bedroom has an open ceiling with an intricate pine beam constructive.

Quoted by
The Sorbara's main purpose and drive behind the renovation of their old
farmhouse in North Port was to create a place where the family could
come together under one roof. Having a large family and no room to put
everyone when they all came together over the holidays was posing a huge
problem. So the Sorbara's collectively come together to create a space
big enough to accommodate the entire family.
These Accommodations include a silo that was made into a building that
houses three bedrooms and a bathroom. Each room has its own great views
of the property and the neighboring farmhouse. The design concept for
the silo allowed each room to keep its "silo shape" meaning that each of
the bedrooms were round and maintained their curved walls. The barn
attaches to the silo with a bright staircase that leads each guest to
and from their round rooms. The barn was completely re-done from top to
bottom.
The Sorbara's really enjoy that old country look and really wanted their
Farmhouse and barn to maintain a lot of the old form and presence of
the past.
