BARNS WITH LIVING QUARTERS

Since their inception, barns have served a variety of agricultural purposes aside from housing horses and hay, including storing supplies, farming equipment, and farming products. More recently though, barns have evolved from being primarily used for farming into versatile buildings designed for nearly every function imaginable, and many with spacious living quarters built above the main level. At DC Builders, we pride ourselves on designing beautiful barns with living quarters that give you the flexibility you need for your life. Whether you’re looking for a workshop, horse barn, or storage space with living quarters, our in-house design team will work closely with you to create a barn design that perfectly suits your lifestyle and embodies your vision.

DESIGN YOUR DREAM HOME

With the help of your project coordinator and our experienced designers, you have the ability to design a barn with living quarters that’s completely unique to you.

THE PROS OF LIVING ABOVE YOUR HORSES

Any horse enthusiast can agree that if given the opportunity to care for their horses full-time, they would jump at the chance. While many choose to build horse barns adjacent to their existing residence, those who’d rather live even closer to their horses would be smart to invest in a barn with living quarters. Aside from the obvious cost advantage to living above your horses, barns with living quarters provide horse owners with the ease of knowing they’re only a few steps away from their precious animals in case of any emergencies or safety concerns. This also means being able to provide your horses with the best care possible at any given time. For those willing to sacrifice square footage for shared living with their horses, the decision can be a rewarding venture that brings you closer to your horses and makes your job easier and more enjoyable as a horse owner.

THE ENDLESS APPEAL OF MULTI-USE RESIDENCES

Whether you’re a hobbyist, horse owner, or creative professional wanting to live closer to the work you love, a multi-use residence can be a long-lasting investment that makes it easy for you to meet your goals by simply walking downstairs. While multifunctional spaces are often associated with less square footage, the reality is that multi-use residences allow you to tailor each room to your interests, thus freeing up your space of unnecessary clutter and furniture. Multifunctional homes are also eco-friendly by design, considering these structures require fewer materials and waste to build. As the desire for sustainable home design grows, these types of residences are poised to be some of the most popular green residential buildings in the future and, as a result, are expected to exponentially grow in value over time. With a custom barn with living quarters, the possibilities are endless for what you can achieve with your space.
