Barn House Plans

One site we found that has a complete collection of plans for Barnhomes, Barns, Workshops, Studios, Stables and Sheds is at Homestead Design.

Barn homes are a fairly newfound home design trend. The practice of converting dairy barns, tobacco barns and even silos into homes for humans isn't as odd as it sounds. The design of a Barn House actually consists of a house within a house, because the old barn wood usually can't support the weight of a modern home. A second frame of new, stronger wood - such as fir or hemlock is therefore built around the barn. The refurbished barn frame is simply constructed of huge hand-chopped rugged beams that are left exposed on the inside of the home - this is what gives the home its unique 'barn home' character.

We are working on adding new firms that carry Barn Home Plans to our list. If you know any good sites, please email us, and we will add them to this page.

You also can find Barn Home plan books in our library.
