Each plan includes a detailed material list to streamline the building process and ensure you have all necessary materials on hand.
Massive Open Spaces: Barndominiums are known for their spectacular vaulted ceilings and massive open-concept great rooms, which are perfectly scaled in a 2000 sq ft design.
Design Flexibility: The structure allows for easy customization of interior walls. You can quickly adapt the layout to include a loft, an oversized primary suite, or a dedicated workshop space. Alternate foundation options are available to suit different site conditions, and some plans offer the option to include a basement for additional living or storage space.
Low Maintenance Exterior: The durable metal siding and roofing materials offer superior resilience against weather and require minimal maintenance over the structure’s lifetime.
Integrated Storage/Shop: Many 2000 sq ft plans seamlessly integrate a large attached shop, garage, or dedicated workshop space under the same roofline.
