The Hill Country Barndominium
The vision
A couple ready to leave town for acreage, without giving up a real home. They wanted the shop and the house under one roof, a porch they would actually live on, and a place big enough for the grandkids every summer.
The design decisions
We put the garage bays on the north end to shield the living space from winter wind, ran a deep porch the full length of the south side, and paired dark steel siding with stained cedar posts on stone bases so the house looks like it grew there.
Built in
- Two 10×10 insulated garage doors
- Spray-foam insulated steel shell
- Vaulted great room with loft windows
- Cedar porch posts on stone bases
The result
A home that belongs on the land, with the shop space they wanted and almost nothing to maintain for decades.
