By Anna Lockhart.  

Have you ever heard of a barndominium? This building style has become a popular choice among new home and business owners over the last decade and for good reason. 

Editor’s note: share this article with homeowners to highlight the features and benefits of choosing a metal barndominium for their next home or office project! 

Whether you live in the suburbs or in a rural countryside, barndominiums are popping up left and right as the architectural style continues to grow in popularity among homeowners. Perhaps you’ve seen them – large, sleek structures built in the shape of a barn that has been transformed into a modern residence. 

Many barndominiums started out as actual barns which were turned into a home or living space in order to save money on building costs or for convenience. However, over time, these buildings became more popular, and owners became more innovative in the additions made to the original barn elements. Now, barndominiums feature original elements of the existing barn while also incorporating various other elements, like garage spaces, offices or any recreational space they would need!  

These structures give residents a great deal of space and the ability to design and decorate the interior as they please thanks to the open floorplan design, in a much cheaper way than traditional homes would cost. As most of these homes are designed using metal roofing and siding, they are great investments that will last the homeowners a lifetime.  

 For the future homeowner looking for an economical and sustainable home, barndominiums are the perfect solution. As most metal siding and roofing materials are made from recycled materials and have an extended lifespan, barndominiums built using metal materials are a great option.  

Barndominiums are also a great option for those looking for a home with an exterior that is unique. Whether their tastes are more rustic or modern, homeowners can find metal panel colors, textures and designs in hundreds of styles they can choose from to find their perfect look. For contractors who own a New Tech Machinery SSQ II Multi Pro roll forming machine, they can create any custom panel to fit their customer’s dream exterior design.
