Barndominium Living: Designing for Multi-Generational Households

Written By Jason Mitchell

Barndominiums are a popular choice for multi-generational households due to their spacious living areas and unique design opportunities. Here are some tips for designing a multi-generational barndominium that accommodates the needs of each generation:

Privacy: Consider designing separate living areas, such as a guest suite or a mother-in-law suite, that provide privacy and comfort for each generation.

Accessibility: Features such as wider doorways, walk-in showers, and ramps can make a barndominium more accessible for older family members or those with mobility issues.

Multi-Functional Spaces: Designing multi-functional spaces, such as a living room that can also be used as a playroom or a home office, can help accommodate the needs of multiple generations.

Storage: Consider built-in shelving, closets, and other storage solutions that can accommodate the needs of each generation.

Outdoor Space: A covered patio or porch can provide a place for families to gather and relax together.

Being creative is at my core what makes me, me. I started off my career as a national touring artist that played in a country band. We played on average 180 shows a year for five years throughout the United States and Bahamas. In 2006 signed with a label in Nashville, released a few singles, got featured in some magazines (both national print magazines as well as online publications) and in 2013 my single “Stomp” was picked up and featured as The Pittsburgh Steelers game song. On November 17th 2013, one of my dreams came true as I sang The National Anthem and performed my single “Stomp” on the 50 yard line for a crowd of 50,000 plus people at Heinz Field for The Steelers vs Lions game.

While I was on the road touring in 2008 I started a digital marketing business to help other artists out called Nocturnal Music Group. I primarily focused on social campaigns for musicians and bands, driving traffic to their sites but quickly found myself getting into areas that did not involve music and also being contacted for web design as well.

I fell into photography by chance due to a client needing photos and no one being available to do it. After that I was hooked and have been shooting ever since. I’ve shot artists and bands, weddings and engagements, maternity and new borns, models, products and everything in between. I’ve also been featured in magazines both domestic and in 2020 I became an internationally published photographer.
