The Ashlynne Barndo – 1 Bedroom Modern Barn Home Plan (342.19 sq.ft.)

Description

The Ashlynne Barndo is a carefully considered 1-bedroom modern barn home plan that balances striking barn-style character with highly efficient, livable interior planning. At a compact 342.19 square feet, this design delivers everything a small household or couple needs: a gracious living area, a well-appointed kitchen, a comfortable bedroom, practical closet storage, and a fully detailed bath — all wrapped in the clean lines and timeless silhouette of contemporary barn architecture.

What’s included in the drawing set

Purchasing The Ashlynne Barndo through the Barndo Plans WooCommerce store provides a coordinated digital drawing package prepared for clear review and contractor collaboration. The set includes:

• Elevation drawings — front, rear and side elevations showing exterior composition, roof slopes, fenestration locations, and suggested material expressions to convey the barn aesthetic and assist in exterior finish selection.
• Floor plan — a dimensioned, furniture-aware floor plan that clearly communicates room sizes, circulation, fixture locations, and appliance/fixture relationships for quick contractor takeoffs and client review.
• Electrical plan — a complete lighting and power layout showing fixture types, switch locations, outlet placement, and recommended circuiting strategies designed to serve a compact home efficiently.
• Plumbing plan — a plumbing layout that identifies fixture locations, supply and waste risers, and key service access points to facilitate accurate mechanical estimating and coordination with local trades.

Each drawing is prepared to be builder-friendly and coordinated so that architectural intent is communicated consistently between elevations, floor plans, electrical, and plumbing documents.

Thoughtful layout & efficient living
The Ashlynne Barndo prioritizes efficient circulation and purposeful adjacencies:

• Living — an inviting living area at the heart of the home with an open relationship to the kitchen, allowing daylight to flow and social activity to center in one comfortable space. The living area is sized for flexible furniture arrangements, media, and casual entertaining.
• Kitchen — an efficient, well-organized kitchen designed around a practical work triangle. The layout supports essential appliances, adequate counter workspace, and logical storage so daily cooking and cleanup are simple and enjoyable.
• Bedroom — a private bedroom sized to accept a comfortable bed and bedside storage, with direct access to the bath and close proximity to the primary closet.
• Bath — a fully detailed bath planned for functional circulation, durable fixture placement, and efficient plumbing runs. The plumbing plan locates fixtures to reduce plumbing complexity and cost while maintaining a comfortable user experience.
• Closet — thoughtful closet placement provides needed storage for clothing and personal items, helping maintain clutter-free living spaces.

Design intent & material guidance
The Ashlynne Barndo reinterprets classic barn geometry with contemporary proportions. Elevations show opportunities for durable, low-maintenance materials—standing-seam metal roofing, vertical board-and-batten or composite vertical siding, and carefully scaled windows that balance daylight, privacy, and the barn aesthetic. Interior materials are recommended to prioritize longevity in high-use zones (kitchen, bath) while allowing warmer, softer finishes in the living and bedroom areas to create a comfortable, domestic atmosphere.

Small-footprint advantages & sustainable strategies
A 342.19 sq.ft. footprint can be an environmental and economic advantage. The plan is well suited for energy-conscious strategies including compact mechanical systems, efficient envelope detailing, and selective daylighting to reduce artificial lighting needs. Barndo Plans suggests that purchasers consider modest investments in insulation, high-performance windows, and efficient HVAC equipment to enhance comfort and lower operating costs. Orientation recommendations in the drawings can be used by your local designer or builder to optimize solar gain, shading, and prevailing breezes for your site.

Practical considerations & customization options

Barndo Plans designs for broad applicability, but local codes, site conditions, and owner preferences can require adjustments. Typical considerations and popular customization options include:

• Orientation changes to optimize views and passive solar performance.
• Minor floor plan tweaks — for example, alternate kitchen layouts, built-in storage adjustments, or bathroom fixture variations.
• Material substitutions to match local climate, budget, or aesthetic preference.
• Accessibility refinements — such as wider doorways, barrier-free shower options, or grab bar provisions — which can be incorporated into the base plan by local professionals.

For buyers who want the plan adapted to local regulations or personal taste, Barndo Plans can recommend qualified designers and contractors who specialize in barn-style homes. Note that code-specific engineering (structural calculations or energy compliance documentation) may be required by your

permitting authority.

Permitting & professional coordination
The supplied drawings are intended to support pricing, contractor coordination, and preliminary permit review. Many jurisdictions will require stamped engineering, additional energy documentation, or mechanical calculations for final permit issuance. Barndo Plans recommends early engagement with your local building department and a licensed architect, engineer, or builder to confirm required deliverables and to obtain any jurisdictional seals or additional documentation.

Digital delivery & customer support
Upon purchase, the complete drawing set will be delivered digitally in widely used file formats so you can quickly share with contractors, specialty consultants, and permitting officials. Files are organized for ease of review. Barndo Plans provides responsive customer support to clarify drawing contents, explain typical construction implications, and point you toward next steps. If you require plan modifications, Barndo Plans can facilitate introductions to trusted professionals experienced with barn-style designs (modification services may incur additional fees).
