Custom Barndominium Design
Modern Retreat Buildings develops custom barndominium concepts around your property, intended use, living-space goals, garage or workshop needs, door and window placement, roof profile, and exterior direction. Projects are quote-first, with final structural system, engineering, package scope, availability, delivery requirements, and pricing confirmed during project review.
Barndominium Design Directions
Representative exterior concepts showing several ways residential living space can be combined with garage, workshop, and covered-porch features. Final layouts, dimensions, engineering, materials, and pricing are project-specific.

Designed Around Your Project
- Custom residential and live/work concepts configured around your desired footprint, living area, and attached garage, shop, RV, boat, or equipment space.
- Flexible bedroom, bathroom, porch, opening, and workspace layouts developed around the way you plan to use the building.
- Exterior and roof-profile directions can be coordinated with your preferred architectural style, subject to the final structural system and engineering.
- A quote-first process confirms the building package, project location, engineering or documentation requirements, freight, and project-specific scope before an order is finalized.
Design Starting Points
Use these concepts as starting points for your project rather than fixed floor plans. We can adapt the direction around your size, living-space, garage or shop, opening, porch, and exterior goals. Final dimensions, structural system, included materials, engineering scope, availability, and pricing are confirmed during project review.

Important Project Information
Barndominium images and design starting points shown on this page are conceptual until a specific building system, supplier scope, dimensions, specifications, engineering requirements, availability, and pricing are confirmed for the project. Website concepts do not constitute final construction plans, permit approval, or a binding offer.
Final included materials, structural system, engineering or plan documentation, freight, delivery, unloading, foundation requirements, assembly or installation, utilities, interior finish scope, permits, inspections, taxes, local fees, and other project requirements will be identified in the applicable written Modern Retreat Buildings project quote before an order is finalized.
Customers should verify zoning, setbacks, intended-use rules, building-code requirements, permits, utilities, foundation requirements, site access, and any HOA or local restrictions for their property with qualified professionals and the applicable authorities.
