Every square foot of this floor plan is designed to be functional yet incorporate the outdoor beauty of the landscape. Featuring a sleek black exterior that exudes modernity, the Twin House Floorplan seamlessly integrates with the surrounding landscape.

Combined with the ADU, the entire barndominium plan includes four bedrooms. This plan is designed with a conventional wood framing system with black siding that keeps the building process simple. The Twin House Plans were initially inspired by a barn house with a modern touch. The two basic-shaped structures joined by a screen porch create a unique and captivating modern and traditional look. The black siding and roof give the property a sleek and contemporary feel that contrasts beautifully with the light wood accents. The key living room space leads to a small covered patio.

This barndominium plan is perfect for creating a dream house with a unique design. Whether you prefer traditional homes or modern designs, the Twin House Plans can cater to your taste and style. Main Residence Step inside the Twin house; the living quarters are designed with an open floor plan living space and dining room with high, vaulted cathedral ceilings.

The L-shaped kitchen includes a center island and a regular-sized pantry. There is a powder room and closet for storage on the ground floor. Storage is also available under the stairs.

The second floor includes two bedrooms with tons of closet space, two offices, a play area, and a bathroom. These two home offices perfectly adapt to the new lifestyle of working from home.
