Live where you work, without building twice

A barndominium puts a home and a shop under one steel roof. Metal Dreams builds the shell that makes it possible.

The living space follows the way you live

Steel framing gives a barndominium its clear-span interior, so the floor plan is arranged around the way you live instead of where the posts have to go. The footprint, eave height, roof pitch, window and door locations, insulation, and exterior finish are all set to your plan, and the shop and residence are divided the way you want them.

Our wood-look panel prints let the exterior read as timber while performing as steel. The goal is a building where neither half feels like it's settling for the other, which is exactly why people choose this format.

Set to your plan

  • Clear-span interior

    Open space for the living area, with no structural posts dictating where walls go.

  • Shop and home divided your way

    Decide how much is garage or shop and how much is living space, and where the wall between them goes.

  • Footprint and eave height

    Sized for the floor plan you want, including room for a second floor or loft.

  • Roof pitch, windows, and doors

    Placed for the view, the light, and the way you'll come and go.

  • Insulation

    Planned for living space, not added as an afterthought.

  • Wood-look exterior panels

    Panel prints that look like wood with the maintenance of steel.

Barndominiums questions

Do you build the whole home or just the shell?

Metal Dreams builds the steel shell: the framing, roof, exterior panels, insulation, and the placement of doors and windows. Talk to us about how the interior finish-out fits into your plan.

Can the shop side have taller doors than the home side?

Yes. The shop and residence are divided to your plan, and each side gets the eave height and openings it needs.

What about the slab?

Every barndominium starts with a foundation, and concrete is where this company started. Ask us about the slab when you ask about the building.
