What is a barndominium?
Barndominiums, often called “barndos,” blend the rustic appeal of a barn with the modern comforts of a home. These versatile structures are typically built with a steel or wood frame and can be customized inside and out to suit your preferences. Whether you’re seeking wide-open spaces, a mix of living and storage areas, or a sanctuary that embraces the Colorado wilderness, a barndominium could be your dream home come to life.
Key considerations when choosing barndominium plans
When selecting barndominium plans, there are a few important factors to keep in mind:
- Layout and space: consider how much living space you need and how you want it arranged. Open-concept designs are popular, but don’t hesitate to ask for adjustments that fit your lifestyle, like additional bedrooms or a loft.
- Storage needs: do you have outdoor gear, vehicles, or tools that need storing? Ensure your plan includes sufficient space to accommodate these items without cramping your living areas.
- Outdoor living: Colorado’s beauty is meant to be enjoyed. Think about incorporating covered, wraparound porches; or patios into your design so you can soak in the scenery, no matter the season.
- Climate adaptability: the plan should be tailored to withstand Colorado’s diverse weather conditions. Insulation, heating, and cooling systems must be top-notch to keep your home comfortable year-round.
Why build a barndominium in Colorado?
Barndominiums are more than just a trend—they’re a practical and stylish option, especially in Colorado. The state’s rugged terrain and unpredictable weather make the durability of barndominiums a smart choice. Robust wood or steel frames and metal roofs are built to last, providing peace of mind when snow storms roll in or the summer sun beats down.
Our barndominium plans offer the flexibility to design a home that’s both functional and luxurious, perfect for the modern family that needs space to grow, entertain, and enjoy life.

“We got connected to Dynamic homes after having a rough experience with another builder. Travis, Delayni, Taylor and Gary did an amazing job with our new home project from start to finish. They were very flexible with our budget, great at communicating and were great with the timeline. I would highly recommend working with them for any type of new construction or remodel. They are great people who do a great job and I have had other friends that have had the same experience.” – Erik D.
