In the 1980s, the barndominium was designed with the horse owner in mind, creating a subdivision where owners shared equestrian facilities, but today's barndos cater to a broader audience seeking spacious living.
The contemporary barndominiums, or 'barndos', are characterized by large metal structures, high ceilings, and open layouts, reflecting a shift from equestrian-focused designs to versatile living spaces.
Demand for barndominiums surged during the pandemic as homeowners prioritized more space and adaptability, with metal more accessible than lumber, marking a notable change in housing trends.
As highlighted by Andy Wiker, project manager at Conestoga Buildings, the emphasis in barndominium designs is maximizing square footage and versatile living areas, catering to modern family lifestyles.
