This small barndominium plan is a single-story rectangle measuring 54'-6" × 30'-6", with 1,190 square feet of living space that does not include the garage. The entry (7'-0" × 6'-0") leads into the main living area, where the living room (12'-5" × 19'-6") and dining area (12'-5" × 8'-8") share the same width and read as one open space. The kitchen (7'-10" × 15'-11") sits beside them, so cooking, eating and sitting stay in view of each other.
The bedrooms are kept apart from the open area. The primary bedroom (10'-11" × 12'-9") has its own bath (10'-11" × 6'-0") and a walk-in closet (5'-1" × 9'-0"). Bedroom 2 (11'-5" × 9'-0") is served by a second bathroom (5'-6" × 8'-0") off a short hall. A laundry and mudroom (7'-0" × 5'-10") and the 1-car garage or shop (14'-3" × 19'-0") handle storage and projects, and a front porch covers the approach.

Who this plan suits
This plan suits a couple, a single owner or a small household that wants a low-maintenance single-story home with a workshop-ready garage. It needs a lot that can fit a 54'-6" × 30'-6" footprint plus setbacks and a driveway to the garage.
How this plan was made
It was generated in AI Architectures Plan Studio from this one-line brief: “Small single-story barndominium, rectangular metal building, 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, open kitchen and living, laundry, attached 1-car garage/shop, porch, about 1,200 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 are small barndominium floor plans?
Small barndominium floor plans combine a living space and a garage or shop in one simple, rectangular, metal-style building. This one keeps 1,190 sq ft of living space on a single level, with 2 bedrooms and 2 baths, and adds a 1-car garage and a front porch.
What affects the lot and building cost of this plan?
The 54'-6" × 30'-6" rectangle is a simple shape, which keeps the foundation and roof straightforward. Cost depends mostly on your local labor and materials, foundation type, site preparation, utility connections and the finishes you choose. Check setbacks and slope before you commit to a lot.
Can I change this plan by chat?
Yes. You can ask for changes in chat, such as resizing rooms, moving the garage to the other side, or adjusting the plan for a narrower or wider lot. The layout is then updated and the drawings are regenerated to match.
How do I use the PDF, DXF and IFC files?
The PDF is for reviewing the plan and sharing it with a builder, lender or permit office. The DXF opens in CAD software for drafting and edits, and the IFC imports into BIM tools for modeling. Have a local engineer or designer review the files before you apply for a permit.
