Living Space and Shop Space, One Roof
A barndominium combines a home with a workshop, garage, or storage bay in a single post-frame building. CNO Pole Barns builds barndominiums and pole barn houses across Oakland, Genesee, Lapeer, and Macomb counties, working with you to lay out the living side and the shop side to fit how you actually use the property.
Two Zones Under One Roof
The shop or garage side gets a concrete floor, overhead doors, and whatever power or utilities the work requires. On the living side, we finish to residential code, with insulation, electrical, plumbing, and interior finishes suited to your plan. An insulated wall separates the two sides, so you can run equipment on one side without heating the whole building.
Built for Michigan Properties
A barndominium can work as a primary residence, a second home, or a retirement property, and the layout is built to order around what you need rather than a fixed floor plan. Michigan winters call for a well-sealed building envelope. Post-frame construction with the right insulation package delivers that without giving up the open floor plans barndominiums are known for.

Common questions
A barndominium is a post-frame building that combines living space with a workshop, garage, or storage area under one roof. They offer open floor plans and high ceilings, generally at a lower cost per square foot than comparable stick-built construction.
Many lenders offer construction loans and mortgages for barndominiums, though the process and documentation can differ from a typical home loan. We can point you toward lenders who are familiar with post-frame residential projects.
They can be. We offer spray foam insulation, insulated metal panels, and energy-efficient windows and doors, and the large open spans of post-frame construction make it easier to build a well-sealed envelope.
