Barn Homes and Apartments

How many horse owners or barn lovers haven’t dreamt of somehow combining their living quarters with the rustic charm of a horse barn?

Well, with the movement toward smaller homes and the steadily rising cost of purchasing and maintaining traditional homes – barn homes and barn apartments (sometimes called barndominiums) are fast becoming the top item on peoples’ wish lists and their to-do lists. As a leading post frame barn home builder, we have some experience on this topic.

VERSATILITY
Adding living quarters to a horse barn design does more than make a statement (although it does indeed make a statement). Barn apartments and post frame barn home plans are versatile and flexible in terms of both design and functionality.

• Add an innkeeper’s or caretaker’s residence with all the quaint comforts of a country home.
• Build a mother-in-law suite above or around your horse stables for comfort, charm and guests’ privacy.
• Build a recreational room, a study or a “man-cave” for the ultimate country escape.
• Pull out all the stops and design a permanent residence – a full-scale home, distinct in security and amenities, but joined to your post frame barn’s fundamental structure.
• Make it your own. Build a home that reflects your taste, your personality, your convictions and your style. Customize your barn home to a wide variety of dimensions and layouts.

COMPARATIVE BENEFITS
In addition to the opportunities for basic design personalization, consider the many comparative benefits of a barn-home hybrid:

• Lower cost of building and construction materials.
• Energy efficiency.
• Low maintenance.
• Customization (in initial design as well as future additions).
• Non load-bearing walls for flexible floor plan designs.

All things considered, mixed-use homes like post frame barn apartments or barn homes look like the all-around wisest choice. They’re the perfect combination of aesthetic beauty and hard-wearing practicality.
