Barndominiums
"The term barndominium was originally coined by Karl Nilsen, a real estate developer in Connecticut. Barndominium is derived from using a combination of the words "barn" and "condominium". The surge in attention and demand shows no signs of slowing down. Much like colonial, modern, or craftsman style homes, barndominium seems to have earned its place as another distinct category among architectural styles. Barndominiums typically have lower overall construction, labor and materials costs compared to traditionally-built modern homes. Due to their open-floor layout, barndominiums are highly customizable, and can be constructed as one-story or two-story dwellings."
Types
There are two basic types of barndominiums: converted barns and new builds. Converted barns are agricultural structures that have been turned into residential spaces, while new builds are structures that are shaped like a barn but were never meant to serve that purpose.
Features
Barndominiums are often made from metal or steel, and have a flexible interior space with open floor plans and high ceilings. They can include modern amenities, and can be customized to suit the homeowner's needs
