SCHEMATIC SECTIONS:
- Section A

FUNCTIONAL LAYOUT:
Barn House Smart is a meticulously designed project, optimized for construction efficiency, ergonomics, and exceptional energy efficiency. It was developed to maximize functionality and floor space relative to construction costs. This house is ideal for a family of four (2+2), and with the possibility of adapting the attic, it can comfortably accommodate a family of five.
You enter the house through a vestibule in the connecting section. This layout allows guests to be directed straight to the terrace without passing through the main living area. The connecting section links the main house structure with a spacious, double garage. The garage can be customized according to your needs – it can be converted into a single garage or a carport, depending on the requirements and the plot. From the connecting section, you enter directly into a large, high-ceilinged living area. This space includes a comfortable lounging area, a dining table, and a large kitchen with an island and pantry. A suggested location for stairs, in case the attic is adapted, is also provided near the kitchen. Under the stairs, there is a cloakroom/storage area, which can be expanded if the stairs are omitted. The entire living room is illuminated with large windows that open to the garden area of the plot. There is also direct access to a covered terrace located behind the garage.
The building is clearly divided into a day zone and a private night zone. The night zone includes a bathroom, a utility room, three rooms, and a master bedroom, which has its own private bathroom accessed through a walk-in closet
DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS::
BUILDING SHAPE:
This is simple single-story house designed in the modern barn style, rectangular in plan, covered with a symmetrical gable roof with a 35° pitch. An attached vestibule and a double garage are connected to the main body of the building on the side. This modular approach allows for phased construction, offering the flexibility to forgo the vestibule and garage entirely, or to convert the garage into a carport with a covered terrace in the garden area. Dividing the structure into three modules provides many possibilities to adjust the investment to the budget and needs. The barn is maintained in a uniform and minimalist style, with a striking large glass façade on the gable wall. This façade is divided into two sections, allowing the installation of external blinds on the lower part.
The building features a very simple structural layout based on four axes, a straightforward gable roof, and a wooden ceiling supported by prefabricated roof trusses, making the house easy and economical to build.
The facade uses natural shades, with light vertical wooden cladding combined with white plaster. There is the option to adjust the materials to reflect the local context or the investor’s personal preferences.
The base project is designed for plots with a rear façade view. Urbanistically, the building is best suited for a plot with an entrance from the north, but it can also fit plots with entrances from the west or east.
BUILDING STANDARDS AND CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGY
The building is designed to meet energy-saving standards in accordance with the 2021 technical conditions, featuring underfloor heating via an air heat pump and mechanical ventilation with heat recovery.
- MASONRY WALLS: Two-layer – aerated concrete block + graphite styrofoam, partition walls are silicate
- FACADE: Light wooden cladding, plaster, dark sheet metal
- CEILING: Wooden ceiling, bottom chord of roof trusses
- STAIRS: Prefabricated wooden stairs
- ROOF: Ceramic or concrete roof tiles
Additionally, the simple gable roof allows for the installation of photovoltaic panels on the southern and western slopes. The visualizations show 21 panels generating approximately 8 kW of power.
MINIMUM PLOT DIMENSIONS:
Due to the compact shape of the building, it can be situated on the plot in several variations. The optimal location is with the entrance from the northern side of the plot, but it will also work well with entrances from the eastern and western sides. The project allows for the option to forgo the garage or to relocate it within changes to the base design. The first option involves siting the building with the garage entrance on the shorter side, the second option with a single-car garage, while options 2 and 3 involve no garage and require a minimal plot size for such a scenario.
The drawing shows the minimum distances from the property boundary according to Polish building regulations. In your region, these distances may be different.
- Variant 1: 2-stall garage
- Variant 2: 1-stall garage
- Variant 3: without garage
- Variant 4: without garage
However, it is possible to request a change in technology.
If you are interested in changing technology – contact us by e-mail.
FRAME BARN HOUSE
We have the ability to easily change the construction of the house to either steel or wood frame technology.
Benefits of frame technology:
- wooden frameworks are more resistant to shocks and seismic forces than traditional masonry structures
- a more environmentally friendly solution
- shorter construction time, shorter working hours for workers
PREFABRICATED BARN HOUSE
Barn Houses Ideas collaborate with a company that specializes in manufacturing building components, like: ceilings, walls, roof, etc.- in factories and then transporting and assembling them on site.
The technology allows for a construction time reduction by half. You are able to build your barn house in 4-5 months.
Prefabricated construction is about 15-25% more expensive than comprehensive traditional construction.
What do you gain in return? Among other things:
- an ecological house made of natural materials
- quick realization of the house even in 4-5 months, and thus also immunity to unstable prices on the market
- minimal involvement in the construction – without the restriction of teams and materi
greater usable area of the building due to the smaller thickness of the walls - a house situated on a foundation slab
- guidance and advice from an experienced team
- noticeably better quality and durability of individual components.

Plan version
Standard Plan
Mirrored Plan
Plots have different shapes and entrances from different sides. To make it easier for you to adapt our warehouse plan to your plot of land, we offer you a choice between two versions of the warehouse plan: the standard plan and the mirror plan.
The most important factor in choosing between the two is the direction of the world from which the entrance is located. This determines which version of the plan will fit the most for your plot.
In the ‘Plot’ section of the product page, we provide a detailed description of our recommended entrance location. Take a look at this information and choose the variant that best suits your plot.
In addition to the option to change the building technology and construction, described in the “Construction Options” tab for each project, it is also possible to introduce additional modifications. We handle both minor changes and more advanced ones, such as modifing the layout of rooms in the house or changing the appearance of the facade.
If you are interested or have any questions regarding this, please contact us.
Describe in an email the modifications you are interested in, and we will price them individually.

The Barn House Idea is not just a blog and ready-made projects; it’s a way of thinking about construction, about choices and compromises to achieve the desired goal with full satisfaction. The Barn Project is about minimalism, functionality, simplicity, and energy efficiency, all guided by construction economics.
Our Barn House M has been inhabited for 6 years now. We didn’t expect that our construction and design efforts, which we document on the blog and through social media, would create a community around this idea. It could be said that The Barn Project is more than just projects; it’s also a forum for exchanging opinions and experiences. It’s a community that you can also be a part of.
