Farmhouse-like Barndominium w/ Extended Guest Apartment (HQ Plans & 3D Concepts)

Have a glimpse inside this inclusive barndominium that takes in two private but attached side-by-side dwellings– a 3-bedroom main home and a 2-bedroom apartment to offer to extended family/friends. Its garage being in between the units, has two carports, a loft, and access to each quarter.

Choosing to build a barndo over a traditional house is best in terms of cost-efficiency and maximizing your lot, so if you’re here for this reason, you’re on the right track. Read our full Barndominium Guide to explore more about barn homes like this featured model and know how to choose the best plan that would fit your space needs.

On the outside, the distinct farmhouse architecture makes it look like a single-detached house with an expansive floor, concealing the two separate units. The facade is enveloped with red board and batten walls and dutch gable-hip roofs, great for adding color to your neighborhood. The two L-shaped porches on either side are intended for the occupants’ outdoor lounging spaces.

Going inside the main home first, you will be greeted with a cathedral-ceilinged open floor. The living room displays a tall stone-cladding fireplace and an extensive area for your entertainment. A glance to the right and you will see the kitchen with an island, the open dining area, and the pantry. 

Floor Plans

The three bedrooms, specifically the master suite and two sizable rooms are situated at the back of the living room partition to hide from the guest’s view. The two beds share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom, while the master suite is readied with an en-suite toilet and bath, a spacious walk-in closet, and a personal office. 

Our architects also thought of maximizing the overhead spaces in the garage, resulting in a functional loft that has plenty of space for storage receptacles. It is up to the owners to be creative and practical. It could be another office, a stock room, a hangout, or a media room, whichever the owners prefer. The access to the garage could be from the said master bedroom office or through the laundry area.

Last but not the least, the other side of the barndo houses the apartment with almost the same layout as the main residence. The great room has its own fireplace and open area that connects to the kitchen. This flat also includes one small bedroom and a master bedroom that comes with a master bathroom.

On the whole, this unit model is a unique home to accommodate multigenerational families without compromising each other’s privacy. It is quirky in style yet retains the classic appeal, a point to take if you want your home to stand out. Consider this plan and make it come to life!

Note: this home may be constructed using metal framing; however, you should always consult your local architect-engineer and receive a professional evaluation if such an option is feasible for this plan and your local building codes.
