Why More Minnesotans Are Choosing Barndominiums in 2025

Barndominiums aren’t just a trend—they’re quickly becoming a go-to option for homeowners across Minnesota. If you’ve driven by a new build lately and thought, “That doesn’t look like a typical house,” you’re probably right.

At Wings Construction, we’ve seen firsthand how post-frame homes like barndominiums are reshaping what it means to “build custom.” Here's why more people in Minnesota are making the switch:

1. Built for the Midwest Climate
Barndominiums hold up strong in all four seasons. With wide post spacing, these builds experience less thermal bridging than traditional homes, meaning they stay cool in the summer and hold heat in the winter more efficiently.

2. Flexible Floor Plans
No interior load-bearing walls means large, wide-open spaces that can be customized to fit your needs. Whether you want open-concept living, a shop attached to your home, or extra room for guests, barndominiums give you freedom to design it your way.

3. Aesthetic + Function
You don’t have to choose between rustic and modern. With clean finishes, steel exteriors, and custom interiors, barndos check every box—form, function, and curb appeal.
