What is a Barndominium or Shouse?

 

View Our Products

We're often asked the difference between a Shouse and Barndomium. 

A Shouse, short for "shop-house," typically refers to a building that combines a living area or a house with a workshop or storage space. They often resemble a traditional home with an attached or integrated industrial or garage-like space.

In contrast, a Barndominium is a barn-inspired building characterized by spacious, open designs. They often feature high ceilings, large windows, and a blend of rustic and contemporary aesthetics. They also include multi-use “work” spaces ranging from storage and warehouse uses to workshops and hobby shops.

Barndominium Benefits:

  • Less costly to build when similar material finishes are used.
  • Quicker construction timeline
  • Require few (if any) interior load-bearing walls, making them a natural fit for those owners looking for a popular open-concept design.  

Many of our top builders are active in this market segment. If you’re interested in building a Barndominium or Shouse, Contact Us today.  We’d love to help you explore the possibility more with a partner we trust.
