6 Creative 50×100 Barndominium Floor Plans With Shop | BarndominiumZONE.com (2024)

If you’re building a barndo, it often means you want to add extra living space with room for workshops, garages, and even agricultural space inside of your home. In fact, that’s the original concept behind a barndo.

This gives you the opportunity to live in close proximity to the things you do every day – reducing your commute, extra effort, etc., so you can easily get to work (or your hobby) whenever you want.

Whatever it is you like to do, building a barndo with an attached shop can give you a lot of freedom. It can mean you have a space to work in, it can give you a space to put a business in, and it can mean you have the freedom to have space for your hobbies.

Whatever it is you want a workshop for, these 6 creative barndominium floor plans with a shop will help you find inspiration for your own home.

Navigating 50×100 Barndo Floor Plans With Shops (Factors)

Creating an ideal home plan means figuring out what you want in your home, what’s important, and what your lifestyle is like.

From there, you can design your home around what you actually need.

Considering Your Needs

How much workshop space do you need? How much storage space? How many bedrooms? What about home office space?

For many people, what you need around the workshop will depend on what you use the workshop for. For example, if you’re using it as a business, you’ll probably need an attached office (even if that’s converting a spare bedroom into an office).

Similarly, if your workshop is loud and noisy and other people in the home don’t want to live with that, you might want to opt for a separate workshop – e.g. connected by a breezeway or in a separate building.

You’ll also want to consider how much time you spend in each part of the home when planning out toilets and bathrooms, so you can more easily prioritize where things should be.

Workflow and Traffic Flow

It’s important that your floor plan offers a good home layout for workflow and traffic flow.

That often means ensuring hallways are wide enough, ensuring you have enough space for at least two people to easily pass each other at any point where traffic moves through, and planning your rooms based on how traffic moves around the home.

That also means ensuring you have enough space for the things you do in the home, e.g., if you typically spend a lot of time cooking, make sure the kitchen area is large enough and that it holds the number of people who normally work together.

In addition, if you frequently have guests over, make sure the living area is optimized for that with its own toilet.

Optimizing workflow can be difficult if you don’t know what you need. However, it’s a good rule of thumb to look at practical usage first in what you do, how rooms connect to each other, and which rooms you typically move between – and therefore which rooms should be close to each other.

Accessibility

Accessibility may be an important consideration. However, it might not be. Here, you’ll want to consider things like whether you want a second story in your home.

For instance, if you’re about to retire, you might want to skip building the stairs altogether. On the other hand, if you’re looking at having kids and want to maximize space in your home without adding on extra costs, a multi-story home is the way to go.

Here, considerations are what accessibility requirements you have, how you can accommodate those, and how you can take steps to consider accessibility requirements over the next 10 years.

Storage

Everyone needs storage. That’s especially true if you have a workshop.

Considering storage space inside the home and inside the workshop will be important. That means looking for floor plans with built-in closets, pantries, storage areas, and room to put storage in – because you will need it.

Having separate storage attached to your workshop can also reduce the amount of clutter in your workshop, because it means that unused things don’t have to be piled around the workshop.

Details like storage can be overlooked but will eventually add a lot to quality of life, which means you should pay attention to them.

Parking

How many cars do you have? What about in 5 years? Most people want at least a single-car garage. However, it’s important to keep in mind that garages and workshops are normally attached.

If you end up needing an extra car space, it will eventually take away from your workshop space if you don’t plan for it now. However, if you plan for it now, that extra space can be used for other things like storage or an extra workshop room.

Look and Feel

The look and feel of your home will always be important. For example, you might be able to save a lot of money by putting your home in a second story on top of a large workshop. However, you might not like the feeling of having to walk into your home via a workshop first.

You might save a lot on noise pollution by putting your shop away from the home – but it might add extra hassle that you don’t want.

Consider the look and feel of the home and how it impacts aesthetics, how home-like your barndo feels, and what it means for your daily life.
