A barndominium is a type of housing that combines a living area with a workspace, typically made from metal, steel, or wood. The name "barndominium" comes from the combination of "barn" and "condominium". Barndominiums are often large rectangular dwellings with open-living concepts, giving homeowners options for customizable floor plans. They can be either barn-to-home conversions or ground-up constructions. Barndominiums tend to have a longer lifespan than typical homes because they are usually built with strong base structures and metal or steel exterior walls. They are becoming a more common architectural style, but tend to be polarizing. Some key features of barndominiums include:
-
Dual Purpose: Barndominiums are typically built for dual purposes, both for work and as a living space.
-
Materials: Barndominiums are usually made from metal, steel, or wood.
-
Customizable Floor Plans: Barndominiums often have open-living concepts, giving homeowners options for customizable floor plans.
-
Low Building Costs: Barndominiums tend to have lower building costs than traditional homes because they are often built with fewer materials.
Barndominiums are becoming a popular alternative housing option for those looking to elevate their farmhouse style or just want a trendy barn look.
