Barndominium

The barndominium, is a neologism that is a portmanteau of barn and condominium with multiple meanings.

One definition refers to a type of steel building.

A non-traditional structure, the barndominium is a steel frame and sheet metal building, originally designed as a storage building or barn structure that has been repurposed by the addition of living areas to previously open space. This type of building is typically built on an existing property or multi-acre homesite and the structure often acts as a dual purpose living and shop or workspace areas.

These homes offer features not usually found on typical homes including oversized roll-up doors and single enclosed areas large enough to hold things like boats and recreational vehicles.

Although new structures referred to as barndominiums are made of metal, the term has also come to encompass wood-framed structures, and is often used interchangeably with terms like "barn home" and "barn with living quarters."

The term was used, once, for a planned subdivision equestrian community where owners share stable space in a centrally-located equestrian facility. The concept is similar to a Golf course community, but geared toward horses and equestrian activity.
