Barndominium
Converting a barn into a home is part construction, part archaeology. Start with the structure, then work inward.
Start here
- Have the frame and foundation inspected before you fall in love with the layout.
- Check zoning, permits and whether the building can be converted to residential use where you live.
- Plan water, septic or sewer, power and insulation early. They drive the budget.
Build your own barndominium
Sketch the layout before you swing a hammer. Try 3Dillo, a 3D design tool, to model your barndominium.
