Project Description

The owner of this beautiful piece of property located in Noble County approached Lynn about designing and building a barndominium on the site. Among the requests was plenty of storage for gardening equipment and other implements needed to tend to the homesite. Being quite skilled at working on various projects, a workshop was another area quite high on the wish list. Of course, living area was another need to be addressed in the design.

The result, when completed, will be a conventionally framed building on a concrete slab with a basement under the living area. There will be 3,931 sq. ft. of storage, workshop and garage. The 1,896 sq. ft. of living area will consist of two bedrooms and 3 baths. One of the full baths will be conveniently located directly off of the workshop and can be accessed from the home as well.

The residence section of the building will be heated with LP gas forced air and conventional air conditioning will also be installed. A separate HVAC system will be installed in the workshop as well. The storage, workshop and garage will be minimally finished and will be further developed as the owner sees fit.

The exterior of the home will be clad with vinyl vertical board and batten siding and 30-year asphalt shingles will be installed on the roof. The home will have a very large wrap-around covered porch overlooking a beautiful pond. The posts and columns will be clad with a material consisting of polyash which is, in our opinion, the best possible product for exterior trim. All the exterior walls of the home and workshop will be 6″ and insulated with urethane foam and fiberglass batting.
