Barndominiums in Kansas: Why They’re the New Dream Home

Barndominiums—often shortened to barndos—are quickly becoming a favorite among Kansas homeowners who want to live differently. They blend open-concept living with rustic charm and offer flexibility that traditional houses just can’t match.

The name comes from the concept of combining a barn-style exterior with condo-style interiors. These buildings are often made from metal frames, making them more affordable and faster to build than brick-and-mortar homes. They also hold up well against Kansas weather.

What really draws people in is the space. Many barndo layouts include a huge open area that can be customized for kitchens, living rooms, or even garage space. It’s common to see a barndo that includes both home and workspace under one roof, which is ideal for hobbyists, remote workers, and growing families.

We’ve built barndos for retirees looking to downsize, families seeking land outside the city, and property investors creating Airbnb-style rentals. The beauty is that no two barndominiums are the same. You can design them to suit your lifestyle completely.

If you're dreaming about a barndo, we’d love to help you plan it out.
