Barndominium, clearly
Barndominium floor plans with a shop
If the shop is why you are looking at a barndominium, where it meets the house decides how the house lives: what you hear, what you smell, and what you carry through the kitchen.
Worth comparing
Fewer options, better compared
Each collection starts from a brief and states what to compare. As verified plans are published, each page gains a comparison table at the same address.
How a collection works
- 1A brief in plain words: the constraint every plan must meet.
- 2What to compare, stated before any plan is shown.
- 3A comparison table of verified plans, each with why it's here.

Small, well planned
Small house plans under 1,500 sq ft: what to compare

One-story house plans: what to compare before you choose
Everything is on one level, so the decisions move sideways: where the bedrooms sit, how far the primary suite is from the kitchen, and how wide the house gets.

Modern farmhouse plans, read past the facade
Modern farmhouse is a facade before it is a plan: gables, a porch, board-and-batten. Two houses can look identical from the street and work in opposite ways inside.

Guest house and ADU plans: what to decide first
An accessory dwelling unit (ADU) is a second, smaller home on the same lot. Before comparing plans, decide who will live in it and where it can go. Those two answers rule out most options.
