This single-level barndominium plan holds 890 square feet of living space, not counting the garage, inside a footprint of 42'-8" × 37'-1". You enter through a 7'-8" × 7'-0" entry beneath a covered porch. From there the plan opens into an 11'-3" × 22'-5" living room, with the 14'-4" × 8'-4" kitchen along one side so cooking, eating and sitting share one open space.
The private rooms sit together on the other side of the plan. The 12'-1" × 12'-3" bedroom opens to a 7'-8" × 5'-9" walk-in closet and the 7'-8" × 5'-6" full bath. A 7'-8" × 3'-7" half bath serves the entry and living area, and a 5'-5" × 8'-4" laundry room sits close to the kitchen. The 20'-2" × 26'-5" shop garage is attached, so you can reach tools, vehicles or a workbench without going outside.

Who this plan suits
This plan suits a single person or couple, or a weekend and guest house, who wants one bedroom, low upkeep and a real workspace for projects or vehicles. It needs a lot that can take a 42'-8" × 37'-1" footprint plus a driveway to the shop garage.
How this plan was made
It was generated in AI Architectures Plan Studio from this one-line brief: “Small barndominium: 1 bedroom with walk-in closet, 1.5 baths, open kitchen and living, laundry, oversized attached shop garage, covered porch, about 900 sq ft of living space.” An AI architect drafted the room program, a layout solver placed every wall and door, and the plan was checked automatically for room sizes, circulation and daylight. The same project produced the PDF sheets, layered DXF, IFC model and 3D model you can download above.
Frequently asked questions
What is a 1 bedroom barndominium floor plan?
A 1 bedroom barndominium floor plan is a compact home built in a barn-inspired style, with one bedroom, open living areas and usually a shop or garage attached. This version has 890 square feet of living space, 1.5 baths and a 20'-2" × 26'-5" shop garage.
What affects the cost and lot needs for this plan?
The main drivers are the 42'-8" × 37'-1" footprint, the foundation type, the shop garage and local labor and material costs. The single-level layout keeps the structure simple, but you should get local quotes and check setbacks before you commit to a lot.
Can I change this plan by chat?
Yes. You can describe changes in chat, such as resizing a room, moving the garage to the other side, or fitting a narrower lot. The plan is regenerated with the new layout and updated room sizes.
How do I use the PDF, DXF and IFC files?
The PDF is for reviewing and sharing the plan and for discussion with a builder or permit office. The DXF opens in CAD software for drafting and editing, and the IFC imports into BIM tools. Have a licensed professional review the plans for your local code before you build.
