Barndominiums

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.

Having completed a beautiful new custom lake home on Sawmill Lake a couple of years ago, the owners of that home approached us about building a barndominium on a lot nearby. In a very unique arrangement, the storage portion of the structure is pole barn construction built by Pacemaker Buildings.

An additional half bath was constructed in the storage area for the convenience of the users of that area. A full sized kitchen is part of an open center area of the home which contains the nook and great room as well. The home is designed to be [...]

Formerly describing a building primarily comprised of a garage with an apartment-style living area, the term "Barndominium" now frequently denotes a particular style, rather than the utilization of space within the structure. This recently completed home in northern Ft. Wayne exemplifies the stylistic definition over the spatial application. Rather than the primary function of the space being a garage, a significant portion has been allocated to entertainment, fulfilling the owners' aspirations. Guided by the owners' vision, Lynn has designed a home that embodies their preferences. The living area of the building features four bedrooms, each with a full bath. A spacious central great room, characterized by a high beamed ceiling and clerestory windows, creates a unique and impressive environment. One end of this space features a large, floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, while the other houses the kitchen with a stone range hood chase that extends to the ceiling. The home offers [...]
