Barndominium and Farmhouse Design

Modern farmhouses and barndominiums with metal roofs, big porches and open living areas, designed to build well.

Barndominiums and modern farmhouses are popular across Middle Tennessee for good reasons: open plans, durable metal roofs, big porches and a country look that suits the land. They still need real design. A barndominium still has to be insulated, ventilated and laid out like a home, and a farmhouse still needs good proportions to look right. Homeowners ask us to design them on acreage and in new communities.

We begin with a Free Estimate and a look at the land. We talk about how you want to live, whether you want a shop, a barn space or a big covered porch, and what style you like. We design the plan, roof forms and exterior details, coordinate with structural engineers for wide spans and prepare drawings for permit and construction. We can also coordinate with your builder or a shell supplier.

Open and livable

Long clear spans make open living areas possible. We plan rooms, light and privacy so the space feels like a home.

Comfort in a metal building

Insulation, ventilation and condensation control are designed in, so the house is comfortable and durable.

Proportions that look right

Roof pitch, porch depth, windows and trim are balanced so the home looks authentic.

Shop and barn space

We plan attached or separate workshops, garages and storage with the right doors and power.
