Agricultural Forms, Modern Living

A barndominium combines the architectural character of traditional agricultural structures with modern residential systems and finishes.

On wine country estates, these structures offer distinctive alternatives to conventional guest houses—barn-style rooflines and materials that reference agricultural heritage while housing open-plan interiors with full modern amenities.

Thoughtful design ensures these structures enhance rather than compromise estate character.

Architectural Integration

Respectful of Agricultural Heritage

Traditional barn forms—gabled or gambrel rooflines, board-and-batten siding, agricultural proportions—housing modern open-plan interiors.

  • Traditional Barn Rooflines
    Gabled or gambrel forms appropriate to agricultural architecture
  • Natural Materials
    Wood siding, metal roofing, stone foundations
  • Modern Interior Planning
    Open living spaces with high ceilings and natural light
  • Full Residential Systems
    Complete MEP systems concealed within barn structure

Interior Design

Modern Interiors Within Barn Shells

High ceilings, exposed timber framing, and open floor plans create dramatic living spaces distinct from conventional architecture.

Open Living Spaces

Great rooms with soaring ceilings and visible timber structure create distinctive interiors.

Exposed Timber Framing

Structural post-and-beam elements become architectural features.

Full Modern Amenities

Complete kitchens, luxury bathrooms, climate control, and all residential systems.

Ideal Applications

Best For Estate Properties

Barndominiums work best on larger estate properties where agricultural architecture feels appropriate to the landscape and property character.

These structures can serve as guest houses, estate offices, recreation spaces, or primary residences on agricultural properties.

  • Vineyard Estates
    Agricultural architecture appropriate to wine-growing properties
  • Ranch Properties
    Barn forms that reference working agricultural heritage
  • Large Parcels
    Properties with sufficient space for barn-scale structures
  • Guest Accommodations

Thoughtful Design Is Essential

Poorly designed barndominiums can look out of place or compromised. Thoughtful architectural work ensures these structures enhance estate properties.

We approach each project with attention to scale, materials, and integration with existing architecture and landscape.
