WHAT IS A BARNDOMINIUM?
A barndominium is generally a residential structure that incorporates the design characteristics or construction approach associated with a barn or agricultural-style building. The term can describe a wide range of homes. Some are primarily residential.
Others combine living quarters with:
- Large garages
- Workshops
- Studios
- Storage
- Recreation space
- Equipment areas
Construction methods can also vary, including steel-frame and post-frame approaches. There isn't one standard barndominium. The design, construction method, intended use, and level of finish can make a significant difference in what you're actually building or buying.
