Steel Barndominium in Jacksonville, Florida

Sunward Steel Buildings, Inc., manufactured and delivered this pre-engineered metal building to a customer in Jacksonville, Florida, in August of 2021.

Eye-catching and highly customized, the metal building functions as a “barndominium,” or a structure that serves as both a residence and some type of work, shop, or garage space, and has about 5,000 square feet of usable space. The one-bedroom, one-bathroom metal barndominium includes a kitchen, a lounge area, and an attached garage and has notable upgrades throughout ranging from an indoor pool, water fountain feature, and double-stacked fireplace to an accessible roof area that will function as a rooftop garden.

Attractive and multifunctional, this steel barnodiminium serves as a prime example of the versatility of steel construction and offers the same aesthetic appeal as a traditional wood home.

The Soaring Popularity of Steel Barndominiums

Soaring lumber and home costs and a growing number of Americans working from home means barndominiums that combine residential and workspace are surging in popularity. Often constructed to look like traditional homes or barns, these economical, easy-to-raise metal buildings are highly customizable and come in a wide range of styles and designs.

Located in northeastern Florida, Jacksonville is part of Duval County. The city sits about 40 miles northwest of St. Augustine and about a 72-mile drive from Gainesville.
