In the past few years, we have witnessed new trends in the home building industry. People are moving toward energy-efficiency, sustainability and cost-effective construction. Prefabricated houses and tiny homes captured the interest of the public last year. However, during 2018, the spotlight has turned towards a new craze: barndominiums.
Barndominiums
Barndominiums are metal buildings transformed into residences from structures that were previously used for agricultural or industrial purposes. These structures are different from tiny and traditional homes in that they may have been a warehouse or barn that has been elegantly renovated to include rooms, kitchens, bathrooms and other areas.
When we look at all the pros of barndominiums, it is easy to see why they are one of the hottest building trends right now.
Let’s see what barndominiums have to offer.
Cost-efficiency
Due to their low maintenance requirements, ease of manufacturing and long-life, barndominiums can be built at a much lower cost than traditional homes. This is one of the major reasons why people go with a barndominium. When insulated properly, metal barns can also decrease utility bills.
Aesthetics
Barndominiums are not only cost-efficient, they look great as well. There isn’t any limit to what can be done with the barn structure. If you are looking for a unique living place, a barndominium is perfect for you.
Variety of Functions
You can personalize the layout of a barndominium according to your specific requirements. You can build rooms, kitchens and bathrooms in one part of the barndominium and reserve other sections for other uses. For example, you can live in one section of your barndominium and use another section as a church, garage, shop or meeting center.
Flexibility
If you bought a traditional home and your family has grown, you won’t be able to easily expand your home. However, that is not the case with barndominiums. Barndominiums can be easily expanded as the cost of building one is very low. Add more rooms, a private gym or even a home-theater. The choice is yours!
Customization
Whether you want a small structure or a large one, it is all up to you. Choosing a barndominium gives you the freedom to fully customize your living space. If you want a huge, sprawling estate; it is completely possible with a barndominium. If you picture your dream house to be cozy and small, you can have that too.
Spacious
Barndominiums offer openness of design. Unobstructed flow of light and space in barndominiums ensure that you don’t feel stifled or cramped. Furthermore, you can arrange your décor and furniture in any way you like.
