Barn Design Services – Custom Barns Built for Function & Aesthetic

Custom Barns Built for Beauty, Durability, and Purpose

Designing your own barn is more than just choosing walls and a roof—it’s about creating a space that supports your lifestyle, livestock, equipment, and property. Whether you need animal stalls for horses, a barn house with living space, or a multipurpose shop and storage center, the right barn design brings function and style together under one roof.

At Quarry View Building Group, we help homeowners, farmers, and business owners design barns that are practical, enduring, and visually striking. From initial concepts to final house plans, we’ll guide you through each step of the design process to make sure your barn is the ideal fit for your needs.

Let's Discuss Your Project

Our Approach to Barn Design

Designing a barn starts with understanding how you plan to use the space. Are you sheltering livestock? Storing hay and tractors? Interested in barn ideas that include a cozy loft, an office, or even a porch? Every barn design we create is tailored to your daily life and long-term goals.

Function First, Style Always

A well-designed barn combines practical features wash stalls, feed rooms, and storage with aesthetic elements such as timber framing, sliding barn doors, and covered porches. We’ll help you find the right balance between purpose and charm.

Planning with Purpose

Before we sketch your first plan, we determine key factors:

  • What is the primary use of your barn—animals, storage, events, or living?
  • What’s the ideal size based on your property and needs?
  • Will this barn double as a barn house or include living space?

Once we answer those, we customize the layout, structure, and features of your barn for optimal flow, durability, and beauty.

Types of Barns We Design

We’ve designed barns across many styles and uses. Whether you’re imagining a modern barn with large windows or a traditional gambrel barn with hay lofts, our team has the experience to turn your vision into a functional building.

Barn Houses

Barn houses are perfect for those who want open, rustic living combined with modern convenience. These designs often feature:

  • Lofts for additional living or storage
  • Covered porches or patios
  • Energy-efficient insulation and materials
  • Open-concept floor plans
  • Sliding barn doors for interior charm

They’re ideal for homeowners looking to combine rural life with residential comfort.

Equestrian & Livestock Barns

Horses and livestock require shelter, structure, and safety. Our designs for these barns include:

  • Well-ventilated animal stalls

  • Center aisles for equipment access

  • Wash bays, tack rooms, and hay storage

  • Office space for operations and management

  • Appropriate insulation and drainage for year-round comfort

We pay attention to the smallest details—from post spacing to gate placement—to keep your animals healthy and your space easy to manage.

Tack Room Design: Organized, Secure, and Tailored for You 

A well-designed tack room is at the heart of every great equestrian barn. At Quarry View Building Group, we know that organizing saddles, bridles, blankets, and grooming gear isn’t just about storage—it’s about protecting your investment, supporting efficient daily routines, and creating a welcoming space for riders and guests.

Custom Layouts and Storage Solutions

We work with you to design a tack room that’s tailored to your riding style, number of horses, and aesthetic preferences. Options include custom saddle racks, bridle hooks, shelving for boots and helmets, blanket bars, and lockable cabinets for valuable equipment. We’ll incorporate built-in benches, easy-to-clean surfaces, and smart organization so everything has a place.

Climate Control and Security

Our tack room designs often feature climate control for year-round comfort and protection against humidity or mold. Ventilation, insulation, and even radiant floor heating can be added to preserve expensive leather and equipment. We can also install secure locks, alarm systems, or even tack cleaning stations to keep everything safe and ready for use.

Finishes and Design Details

Choose from rustic timber finishes, polished wood cabinetry, tile or rubber floors, and plenty of natural or LED lighting. We can design tack rooms with windows for daylight, wash sinks for quick clean-up, and decorative touches that reflect your barn’s style and your personal taste.

Easy Access and Smart Placement

We’ll help you locate the tack room for convenient access from stalls and wash bays, while keeping it protected from dust and the elements. Whether you need a small, functional space or a large, club-style tack lounge, our team creates tack rooms that make daily barn life organized, efficient, and enjoyable.

Storage & Equipment Barns

These barns are built for utility. Whether storing tractors, tools, or feed, we design for secure and accessible layouts that can include:

  • Drive-through bays for loading and unloading

  • Separate shop areas for mechanical work

  • Insulated storage for delicate equipment

  • Add-on shed sections or lean to structures for flexibility

We also help you decide the right building materials for your climate and usage, balancing durability with cost efficiency.

Event Barns & Mixed-Use Spaces

Thinking about hosting weddings, markets, or community events? A well-designed barn can become a vibrant gathering place. We can incorporate:

  • Grand entrances and open interiors

  • Flexible lighting and HVAC options

  • Loft seating, covered patios, or outdoor pavilions

  • Accessible entrances and code-compliant restrooms

These barns are all about atmosphere and adaptability, while still being strong and practical.

Key Features to Consider

When you begin your barn design, we’ll walk you through these essentials:

  • Stalls & Storage: Plan for your livestock, hay, or tools

  • Windows & Doors: Natural light, ventilation, and easy access

  • Floor Plans: Define spaces for living, working, and storing

  • Finishes & Accessories: Find the look that matches your home or property

  • Ventilation & Drainage: Keep interiors dry, warm, and efficient

  • Security: Protect your equipment and livestock with smart design

You can browse photos, apply filters for style and function, and decide on the right details to match your goals and budget.

Our Barn Design Process

We’ve streamlined the design experience so you don’t get overwhelmed. Here’s what to expect:

Step 1: Discovery & Site Visit

We start with a conversation. What are your barn ideas? What will it be used for? We’ll also visit your property to evaluate the lot, access, and zoning constraints.

Step 2: Conceptual Layout

We provide sketches and concepts that outline the placement of rooms, stalls, lofts, and entrances. You’ll be able to visualize traffic flow and spatial relationships.

Step 3: Plan Refinement

Based on your feedback, we refine the layout, structure, and materials. If you’re building a barn house, we’ll adjust based on your house plans and lifestyle needs.

Step 4: Final Drawings & Support

We create construction-ready drawings and help prepare for permits, engineering, and budgeting. From there, we can move into the construction phase or hand off the plans to your builder.
