Hey,

I have noticed that barndominium houses have gained popularity over the past twenty to thirty years. Once upon a time, houses that were made from the metal structure were known as barndominium. Nowadays, the concept has specialised architectural features. These types of houses have not been spotted at large in remote villages of India.

What is a barndominium ?

According to what I know, it is an open concept steel house or building that is a combination of living space and a working area. In simple terms, Barn + Condominium = Barndominium. It is also known as a barndo in the real estate sector.

If a metal building has a living quarter inside, it is known as a barndominium. Those who own such a house, often talk about the benefits of barndominium. You can add energy-efficient windows, stained concrete floors, engineered concrete slabs, spray foam insulation, modern plumbing, and high ceilings to such property. 

Features :
  • Glass pane garage doors

  • Large covered porches

  • Shed

  • Loft space

  • High ceilings and open living concept

  • Bunk room

What are Barndominium pros and cons?

Pros:

Such houses are affordable, thanks to their design. They are energy-efficient and low maintenance because the design is repurposed. It is cheaper than traditional houses. 

Cons :

It is difficult to get such a house financed by a bank. The buyer pool of the property is slim, you will have difficulty selling the place. It is difficult to rebuild if broken. 

I hope all your doubts about the barndominium have been solved.
