The Fieldstone - Barndominium House Plan
An office behind its own door, and a mud room between the garage and the house.
Front elevation (South): the 24 foot front porch, two cupolas and two overhead doors into the 2-car garage.
Exterior renders show the steel version of this plan; the wood-framed set's windows and doors are as drawn on its own elevations.
The call connects, the door already closed. The Fieldstone is a single-story 3-bedroom, 2-bath barndominium, about 1,650 square feet on a 40×60 footprint: a 9′ × 16′ office, a kitchen open to a vaulted living and dining room, a walk-in pantry, a mud room off the garage, and porches front and back. The office shares no wall with the living room or bedrooms. Whoever takes the call has the garage beyond the door, not the kitchen.
The Floor Plan
Key Features
- A 9′ × 16′ office in the north-east corner, with windows on two walls and its own door from the garage, sharing no wall with the living room or the bedrooms
- A kitchen open to the vaulted living and dining room, with a walk-in pantry behind a barn door (a door that slides on a track outside the wall)
- Vaulted ceilings over the kitchen, living and dining, and again in the master bedroom; 9 foot ceilings in the rest of the living space
- A master suite with its own bath, its own door onto the rear porch, and a 6′ × 16′ walk-in closet
- Two more bedrooms at 11′ × 16′, side by side off the hallway, each with its own closet and a window facing the back
- A 10′ × 6′ mud room entry from the garage, with the laundry behind its own door
- Tubular skylights pulling daylight into the hallway, hall bath and mud room
- Porches front and back: 24 feet of covered entry, a 34 foot rear porch, 464 square feet in all
- A two-car garage, 26′ × 24′, behind two 10 foot wide overhead doors, with a walk door of its own, under a 4:12 gable roof with two cupolas

Tour The Fieldstone
The Heart of the Home
Step in from the front porch and the 13′ × 20′ living and dining room opens to the 11′ × 15′ kitchen beside it, one vaulted ceiling over both. A barn door off the kitchen hides the 11′ × 5′ walk-in pantry, with a window of its own. Whoever comes in the front door walks straight into the conversation.
The Office
Step through the garage to its own door and the 9′ × 16′ office fills the north-east corner. Its only neighbors are the garage and the walk-in closet; no living room or bedroom wall touches it. Whoever works here sits under a twin window on the end wall and one more on the back wall, daylight from two sides.
The Master Suite
At the hallway's east end, the 12′ × 16′ master bedroom ends the bedroom row under a vaulted ceiling, with its own door onto the rear porch. Its bath opens off it, and the 6′ × 16′ walk-in closet opens off the bath. Whoever turns in last checks the porch door on the way to bed.
The Other Bedrooms
Two doors off the hallway open into bedrooms two and three, side by side, each 11′ × 16′ with a closet. Bedroom two is the north-west corner room, a window on the back wall and another on the end wall; bedroom three's twin window faces the back. Whoever needs a second desk gets the corner room and its two windows.
Outdoor Living
Two covered porches, front and back: 8′ × 24′ across the front, 8′ × 34′ along the back, 464 square feet under cover. The entry door opens under the front one, the master bedroom onto the back one. Eight feet deep, either porch holds a table, not just a bench. Whoever closes the laptop first claims the back porch.

Can I Build This?
Yes: every page is designed for standard pre-engineered metal building (PEMB) construction. Stamped structural drawings come from your building supplier's engineer, and permit review is with your local building department.
Why a pre-engineered metal building?
A PEMB encloses more home for the money than a wood-framed building and goes up in weeks. Its steel frames carry the roof, so no inside wall has to hold it up: the kitchen, living room and master bedroom can be vaulted. The frame layout on these pages follows standard metal building practice, so a supplier can quote it as drawn.
Who does what
We design the home: the rooms, where the doors and windows go, the elevations and the roof. Your building supplier engineers the steel frame for your site and confirms the vaulted ceilings against it. That is the usual split on a metal building project, and our pages are drawn to it.
Yes: every page is designed for standard wood-frame construction. The sealed truss drawings come from your truss manufacturer's engineer, the foundation design from your local structural engineer, and permit review is with your local building department.
Why wood framing?
A 2×6 wood frame is the construction framing crews work in and lumber yards stock, with a deeper wall cavity for insulation than a 2×4 wall. The roof is carried on trusses, engineered by your truss manufacturer for the spans these pages draw, and the kitchen, living room and master bedroom are designed with vaulted ceilings that follow the roof trusses. The braced wall panels on these pages follow the US building code's standard method; the header framing comes with the construction plan set, and any beam too large for the code's tables is marked there for an engineer to size.
Who does what
We design the home: the rooms, where the doors and windows go, the elevations and the roof, and the braced wall panels the US building code asks for. Your chosen truss manufacturer's engineer designs the trusses: the sealed truss drawings and layout for your exact roof, and they confirm the vaulted ceilings against the trusses they supply. Your local structural engineer designs the foundation, including any thickened footings under interior bearing walls. That is the usual split on a wood-framed project, and our pages are drawn to it.
What Will It Cost to Build?
$310,000 to $360,000
A home like The Fieldstone is estimated to complete for $310,000 to $360,000 with you as your own general contractor, hiring the trades yourself. That covers the steel building and putting it up, the foundation, the inside finish, and an allowance for site work, utilities, driveway and septic.
It leaves out land, financing, sales tax, payroll taxes and insurance on labor, appliances beyond a standard allowance, landscaping and window coverings. Hiring a general contractor adds about 15 percent.
This is a rough estimate, not a quote. Costs vary by region by 15 to 25 percent, and your building supplier and local contractors will price it for your area. Our barndominium buying guide walks through what moves the number.
$375,000 to $425,000
A home like The Fieldstone is estimated to complete for $375,000 to $425,000 with the owner acting as general contractor, including framing materials and labor, roof trusses, metal roofing and wall panels, the foundation, interior finish, and an allowance for site work, utilities, driveway and septic.
It excludes land, financing, sales tax, labor burden, appliances beyond a standard allowance, landscaping and window coverings, and hiring a general contractor typically adds about 15 percent.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the office a real room, or a corner of the living room?
A real room. The office is 9′ × 16′ in the north-east corner, with a twin window on the end wall and a single on the back wall. Its one door opens from the garage: you cross the garage to reach it, and it leads nowhere else. It shares walls with the garage and the walk-in closet only.
Where do the boots, the dogs and the supplies go?
Through the garage into a 10′ × 6′ mud room, the one garage door that leads on into the house. The laundry is behind its own door off the mud room. An 11′ × 5′ walk-in pantry opens off the kitchen behind a barn door. The presentation floor plan draws a mud room bench; the hooks are yours to add.
Can I build The Fieldstone with any metal building supplier?
Yes. Every page is designed for standard pre-engineered metal building (PEMB) construction, so any steel building supplier can quote this home as drawn. Their engineer then provides the stamped engineering drawings for the steel building, along with an anchor bolt plan and the loads for your site, and your local structural engineer designs the foundation from them.
Is the plan stamped, engineered, or permit-ready?
No. No plan set is a permit. This design set is for quotes, budgeting, and financing; permit review comes later, on a construction plan set (ours is launching soon) with the engineering your building department requires. The Fieldstone is designed and informed by the IRC (USA) and NBC Part 9 (Canada). Local permit review is between you, your builder and your building department.
Can I change The Fieldstone?
Not yet, but it is coming. We are building an online design tool that will let you make alterations to the plan yourself, and the same automated checks that verified this plan will verify your change. Until then, your builder can move the inside walls once you hold the construction set. The outside walls, the steel frame, its bracing and the openings framed into it need a licensed engineer.
Is a steel barndominium a good choice in a wildfire zone?
Yes, with the rest done right. The steel frame and the metal wall and roof panels do not burn, the kind of construction wildfire rules favor. A metal roof also carries the top fire rating, Class A. Ember-resistant vents, boxed eaves, tempered windows and cleared ground around the house decide the rest. No home is fireproof.
Is the office a real room, or a corner of the living room?
A real room. The office is 9′ × 16′ in the north-east corner, with a twin window on the end wall and a single on the back wall. Its one door opens from the garage: you cross the garage to reach it, and it leads nowhere else. It shares walls with the garage and the walk-in closet only.
Where do the boots, the dogs and the supplies go?

Can I build The Fieldstone with any framing contractor?
Yes. Every page is designed for standard wood-frame construction: 2×6 exterior walls with continuous sheathing, braced wall panels drawn to the US building code's standard method, and roof trusses. A framing contractor and a truss manufacturer can quote the home from this set; the sealed truss drawings and layout come from the truss manufacturer's engineer when you order with the construction plan set, and your local structural engineer designs the foundation for your site from that set and the loads from your truss manufacturer.
Is the plan stamped, engineered, or permit-ready?
No. No plan set is a permit. This design set is for quotes, budgeting, and financing; permit review comes later, on a construction plan set (ours is launching soon) with the engineering your building department requires.

Can I change The Fieldstone?
Not yet, but it is coming. We are building an online design tool that will let you make alterations to the plan yourself, and the same automated checks that verified this plan will verify your change. Until then, your builder can adjust the interior non-load-bearing partitions when you hold the construction set; changes to bearing walls, braced wall panels or structural openings need a licensed engineer.
Is a wood-framed barndominium a good choice in a wildfire zone?
It can be. The metal roof and metal wall panels help with the exterior rules wildfire codes set, and the wood framing behind them stays protected only while that skin holds. Ember-resistant vents, boxed eaves, tempered windows and cleared ground around the house decide the rest; ask your insurer how they rate a wood frame under metal.
