Characteristics of the Barn Style

You might consider:

• High Central Gable
  Ordinarily very tall, open, and bright, barn style homes often feature a distinct high central gable.
• Cupolas
  A small structure extending from the main roof, cupolas are often associated with the Barn Style – providing a lookout or extra admittance of light.
• Vertical Siding
  In contrast to the conventional home’s stucco, clapboard, or shingled siding, a Barn Style home typically features the clean look of vertical wood siding.
• Open Floor Plan
  Soaring ceilings, plenty of light, and an open – often square or rectangle – floor plan are signature aspects of this particular type of home.

• Loft Space
  Mimicking the space above classic working barns, these homes often include a loft space – providing a bird’s-eye view of the rooms below.
