- Electrical plan — recommended lighting, switch and outlet locations, and general circuiting guidance sized for the home’s occupancy and use patterns.

Files are organized for easy download and sharing with your builder, subcontractors, and permitting officials.
Layout & primary features
The Allison Barndo is designed to support modern family life with generous communal spaces, thoughtful service areas, and clearly defined private zones. Key attributes include:
- Five Bedrooms — comfortably sized private bedrooms positioned for privacy and convenient access to baths and storage.
- Living — large primary living areas with high, vaulted or open ceilings (as shown on the plans) that create an airy, welcoming gathering space.
- Dining — a formal or casual dining zone adjacent to the kitchen for effortless entertaining and family meals.
- Kitchen & Pantry — a spacious kitchen configured for efficient workflow, with direct access to a dedicated pantry to keep the primary prep areas organized.
- WIC (Walk-In Closet) — well-sized walk-in closet(s) providing substantial storage and organization for primary bedroom suites.
- Bath(s) — multiple full baths located for privacy and convenience, planned with practical fixture layouts and service access.
- Mudroom — a dedicated mudroom at a secondary or garage entry that helps contain dirt and organize daily comings and goings.
- Laundry — a large laundry room with workspace and storage to simplify household chores for a large household.
- Coat room, Closet & Storage — generous coat and storage areas placed to reduce clutter and provide staging for coats, seasonal items, and household goods.
- Linen — linen closets near baths and bedrooms to keep linens organized and accessible.
- Hall — comfortable circulation halls that connect the home without wasting valuable living area.
The plan creates a seamless relationship between service spaces (pantry, mudroom, laundry) and social spaces (kitchen, dining, living), improving daily operation and making hosting straightforward.
Design intent & material guidance
The Allison Barndo interprets classic barn form with refined contemporary detailing. Exterior suggestions in the elevations include durable, low-maintenance materials—such as standing seam metal roofing, vertical siding or board-and-batten, and generous glazing—to produce clean lines and long-lasting performance. Interior finishes should prioritize robust, easy-to-maintain surfaces in high-traffic zones (kitchen, mudroom, halls) balanced with warm, comfortable finishes in living and bedroom spaces.
The overall intent is to combine the strong, simple silhouette of a barn with modern proportions and a practical layout designed for family life at scale.
Practical considerations & adaptability
Barndo Plans designs plans that work across many regions, but site conditions and local requirements vary. Consider the following early in your project:
- Site orientation & sun control — adjust window sizes and locations to optimize daylighting and passive comfort for your site.
- Foundation & structural design — soils, slopes, seismic and wind loads may require an engineered foundation or structural modifications.
- Mechanical systems & HVAC zoning — a home of this size benefits from careful HVAC zoning; consult a mechanical engineer or contractor to size equipment and design efficient distribution.
- Plumbing and electrical coordination — the included plumbing and electrical plans provide a strong starting point, but local code requirements and contractor preferences may necessitate minor revisions.
Typical customizations include adding porches or covered entries, reconfiguring bedroom adjacencies, upgrading glazing for energy performance, or tailoring interior finishes. The Allison Barndo is intentionally flexible—local architects, engineers, or builders can adapt the set efficiently.
Permitting, code compliance & professional coordination
The provided drawings are intended to support contractor pricing and initial permit discussions. Many jurisdictions require additional documentation—structural calculations, energy compliance documentation, or stamped drawings—from licensed professionals. We strongly recommend engaging local architects, engineers, or your builder early in the permitting process to verify compliance and generate any required sealed documents.
