Today we have five barn home floor plans — along with images of how the final structure will look. All from a respected design firm that will work with you until the design is exactly to your liking.
Then, you simply find a good builder — or, if you’re brave enough — act as your own general contractor — and save a substantial sum of money by just buying off-the-shelf plans that have been altered to suit your needs.
So if you don’t mind that someone else, somewhere, has built, more or less, the same barn home you have, these plans can save a ton of money and time for you.
And, if you believe what some realtors are saying these days, not everyone who might want to buy your home at some time in the future will want their kitchen to be on the second floor. Or some other architectural anomaly on which you insisted at the outset.
(That’s a true story, by the way. The barn remodeled by Chip and Joanna Gaines in their first season of Fixer Upper only had plumbing upstairs. So that’s where the spanking new kitchen was located.)
Anyway, here is the first of five barn homes drawn up by ArchitecturalDesigns.com.
