Barn House Sheds

Barn houses for alternative accommodation are becoming increasingly popular as people look for affordable housing options. Our barn houses comply with NZS 3604 and can be consented by council to different levels of habitability.

The majority of the building can be constructed as a shed, with a section designated for domestic living, or the entire building can be used as living space.

Barn houses are a flexible option. The internal layout is largely unrestricted due to the portal frame’s ability to span long distances.

A barn house is a building that combines the structure of a barn with residential living space. It can be designed as a full-time home or a mix of storage, workshop, and accommodation under one roof.

Yes, a barn can be used as a home in New Zealand, but it must meet building code requirements for residential use. This includes compliance with insulation, plumbing, and other living standards, and approval from the local council.
