Our 5BD Nordic Barndominium is designed with functionality and open floorplan concept, which is thoughtfully designed with functionality, versatility, sustainability, and style in mind. Barndominium Exterior It is a modern barndominium that incorporates wood tones on the gable side that contrasts with the black siding. With its dark-stained vertical pine siding exterior wall, standing seam metal roof, and large windows, it exudes a minimalist aesthetic that is both sleek and inviting and provides the perfect setting for the home's main living space. Open Floor Plans Like most open floor plan designs, our 5BD Nordic Barndo also comes with an open concept living and dining with high ceilings for the owners to customize the living room and dining room to their own taste. The plan separates the common areas to the private areas by floor. It incorporated open spaces and lots of storage space in our barndominium interior designs. Barndominium Ground Floor The barndominium interior boasts a double-height vaulted ceiling in the living and dining rooms that serves as a great focal point of the house. It also has double-height windows, which let you enjoy gorgeous views from the ground and the loft. The interior design features white walls, clean lines, and high ceilings, which makes the barndo interior look clean and more spacious than it is. Using natural materials like wood adds warmth and character to the interior. The generous L-shaped kitchen with an island counter and range is perfect for cooking and entertaining, while the living and dining area offers plenty of space for family gatherings and entertaining friends. There's also a spacious pantry directly accessible from the kitchen, a room under the stairs for additional storage. The ground floor includes an office, a bathroom, a playroom for the kids, a laundry and mudroom, and a spacious pantry. Both of the office and playroom can be converted to a bedroom when needed. Barndominium Loft Floor The loft area of this dream barndominium overlooks the main living space, creating a unique open space perfect for a loft modern home. It includes an open study and playroom, two standard bedrooms with closets, a common bathroom, and a master suite with a walk-in closet and bathroom. The skylight in one of the bathrooms on the second floor adds a touch of natural light inside. The general use of natural light provided by plenty of windows finished with dark window frames highlights the beautiful wood elements throughout the barndominium interior. Barndominium Garage The floor plans of our 5BD Nordic Bardominium have been designed with versatility in mind. The ground floor has an attached 2-car garage with storage, a utility room and an attic. The garage also has access to the main residence and the covered deck, which offers a perfect outdoor space for enjoying the surrounding nature. To put in briefly, our 5BD Nordic Bardominium is an excellent example of a cost effective modern barndominium that offers both style and functionality. The floor plans have been designed with versatility, providing families of all sizes with ample space for their needs. With its use of white and wood tones, natural materials, and open living space, it's the perfect dream barndominium for anyone looking to start their barndominium life in their own barndominium.

I recently came across the Nordic Barnhouse Project (in Denmark) on Instagram via one of my favourite Swedish design bloggers, Frida Ramstadt of Trendenser. Frida mentioned the architect, Bruno Jakobsen recently won the Randers Municipality's Architecture Award 2021 for the project. The home is also the architect's residence. Loving the open spaces that face into a courtyard, and the windows that open up to the surrounding forest. “The main focus throughout the design is the actual looking out into the woods.

The Dunes collection is handmade in small batches. Only a few in each size are available.
