At a smart and efficient 1534.98 square feet, The Oscar Barndo reimagines barn-style architecture for contemporary living—delivering bold exterior character, flexible interior spaces, and a fully coordinated drawing set intended to streamline pricing, permitting, and construction.

What’s included in the digital drawing set

This purchase provides a complete, coordinated digital drawing package designed for clarity and use by builders, contractors, and permitting officials. The set includes:

• Elevation drawings — front, rear, and side elevations showing exterior materials, roof forms, and fenestration.
• Floor plan — dimensioned plan showing room layouts, fixture locations, built-in cabinetry, and key dimensions.
• Roof plan — roof geometry, slopes, drainage points, and general roof material recommendations to guide roofing contractors.
• Door & Window schedule — indexed callouts with sizes and types for accurate ordering and framing coordination.
• Electrical plan — recommended lighting placement, switch and outlet locations, and suggested fixture zones for efficient electrical planning.
• HVAC plan — suggested equipment placement and supply/return layout sized for the compact footprint and open volumes.

These documents are prepared to be builder-friendly and coordinated across disciplines to reduce confusion and accelerate the early project phases.

Layout & primary features

Though economical in square footage, The Oscar Barndo is thoughtfully organized to make every square foot useful. Key programmatic elements include:

• Three Bedrooms — private sleeping spaces sized for everyday comfort and flexible furnishing.
• Closet — dedicated storage to keep living areas uncluttered.
• Living — an open, multi-purpose living area that serves as the social center of the home.
• Kitchen — efficient kitchen layout with clear work zones and direct access to the pantry for streamlined meal preparation.
• Pantry — practical pantry storage for groceries and small appliances, maximizing kitchen efficiency.
• Bath — fully configured bathroom designed for functional circulation and durable fixtures.
• Dining — a dining area integrated with the living/kitchen for easy entertaining and family meals.
• Hall — circulation space that connects rooms while preserving privacy.
• Garage — compact garage for vehicle and equipment storage; a practical asset for small-lot or rural settings.
• Mechanical — dedicated mechanical room/space for HVAC and service access.
• Loft — a flexible loft area that can serve as an office, play nook, storage mezzanine, or guest sleeping area.

The plan balances private zones and shared living spaces. The loft provides extra usable area without increasing the building footprint, and the integrated garage and mechanical spaces improve functionality for everyday life.

Design intent & material guidance

The Oscar Barndo interprets traditional barn elements—gabled roof, vertical siding, and clean rectangular massing—through a modern material palette and proportioning. Suggested exterior materials include standing-seam metal roofing and vertical board-and-batten or durable composite siding to maintain the barn character while ensuring low maintenance.

Interior finishes and layout emphasize durability and efficiency. The floor plan places high-use spaces adjacent to one another to reduce circulation waste and simplify plumbing and mechanical runs—helpful for both construction cost control and long-term operation.

Practical considerations & adaptability

Barndo Plans provides a robust architectural package, but local conditions and regulations vary. Before construction, consider the following:

• Structural requirements & foundation design — local soils and wind/seismic loads may require engineering or alternate foundation systems.
• Energy codes & HVAC sizing — mechanical equipment selection and energy compliance need verification for your jurisdiction.
• Site orientation — window placement and porch orientation can be adjusted for solar gain, views, and prevailing winds.
• Loft and garage adaptations — the loft railing, stair type, and garage door sizes can be modified to suit preferences or code.

The Oscar Barndo is designed to be adaptable. Typical owner customizations include changing window sizes for daylighting, adding porches or overhangs, or re-configuring the loft for a different use. Barndo Plans can advise on modification pathways and refer you to qualified local professionals when site-specific engineering or stamped drawings are required.

Permitting, code compliance & professional coordination

The digital drawing set is intended to support early pricing, contractor coordination, and permitting discussions. However, many jurisdictions require additional documents—structural calculations, energy compliance reports, or licensed professional stamps. We strongly recommend engaging a local architect, engineer, or builder early in the process to verify compliance and obtain any required sealed drawings or calculations.

Digital delivery & customer support

Once purchased through our WooCommerce store, you will receive the complete drawing package in common digital formats suitable for sharing with contractors and permitting authorities. Files are organized for quick review.

Barndo Plans provides responsive customer support to clarify what’s included, explain how to read the drawings, and help you prepare for the next steps. If you require plan alterations, we also facilitate connections to designers experienced in barn-style homes (modification services may incur an additional fee).
