Barndominium and Barn Living
The word, barndominium, is a combination word that has become popular to describe
the building of, or conversion of, storage type buildings into homes. A barndominium is a
new type of building growing in popularity in the United States. They can be found on
Texas ranches, Connecticut equestrian communities and have actually existed since
homes were first being built.
It is essentially a building, originally designed as a storage building or barn that has
been repurposed by the addition of living areas to previously open space. The structure
often acts as a dual purpose living and shop or workspace.
