One of the features that determines the shape of a home is its roofline. A single slope roofline is one possible option to think about when you are building a barndominium. It is also known as a “shed roof” or “monoslope” roof. It was one of the most modern styles in barndos and as a mid-century modern fan, it has captured our full attention.
In this guide, we will explore some barndominium plans that feature a single slope roofline that are spacious, versatile, and beautiful. Before we jump into the single pitch barndo house plans, let’s take a look at a few reasons to consider a single slope house plan.
Benefits of a Single Pitch Shed Style Roof
- It is quick and easy to install a single slope roof compared to other more complex roof shapes. This can also reduce costs. Fewer materials are used, and there is generally less material waste as well.
- A monoslope has a simpler load path.
- You can install solar panels easily on a single slope roof, since you have an expansive area to work with. Just make sure you orient the home to maximize the energy intake.
- The interior of the home can feature a vaulted ceiling.
- This type of roofline can make it possible to install larger windows, bringing in more views and daylight.
- If you are building in an area that receives a lot of precipitation, a single slope roof is a fantastic choice since it can more easily shed snow and rain than some other roof shapes.
Our Favorite Single Slope Barndominium Plans
Let’s check out some exciting single slope roof barndominium plans.
SS-30043 Barndominium House Plan
If you enjoy a dramatic roof line, you might like the 90’ x 40’ two-story SS-30043 monoslope barndo plan. This layout is for a shop house (“shouse”) with a spacious garage taking up about half of the 90’ width of the first floor.
Facing the front of the house, you will see the two garage doors on the left, where the roof is lowest. The roof slants upward to the right, where you will see the front porch and the entrance to the living section of the home. There is no second floor above the garage, but there is one above the main living areas.
When you enter through the front doors, you will find yourself in the living room, which is combined with a dining room and the kitchen. The kitchen is in the back, and includes a walk-in pantry as well as access to the laundry room, which in turn connects to the garage.
A small hallway leading off of the living/dining room takes you to the master bedroom, master bathroom, and walk-in master closet.
If you head upstairs, you’ll find a loft over the kitchen and dining room. The upper floor has been left open to below above the living room so that it can feature a high ceiling. There is a hallway leading off of the loft that takes you to two bedrooms. Each has its own closet, but they share a bathroom.
SS-30046 Barndominium House Plan
First up, we have the 40’ x 50’ SS-30046. That measurement does not include the front porch, which provides a spacious spot to set up chairs under the wide awning. There is a slanted roofline added over top of the porch to shed precipitation. The actual roof of the house slopes down in the opposite direction toward the back. Right above the front porch awning, there are three clerestory windows bringing in light to the main living areas from above.
The living room, dining room and kitchen are all combined in an open floor plan. A hallway to one side leads to a bedroom, bathroom and closet. Another hallway leading toward the back of the house takes you to the laundry room and the master bedroom, bathroom and walk-in closet. The laundry room contains a door to the garage.
HPZ-22003 Rhodes Barndominium House Plan
This single slope metal building home has some commonalities with the one above. But the front porch doesn’t span the whole front of the house, and the garage doors are on the front beside the porch. It has three clerestory windows above the sloped porch awning, however. Once again, the monoslope roof slopes down in the opposite direction.
The front door takes you to a combined living room, dining room and kitchen. To the side, there is a hallway that leads to the laundry room and the two-car garage. In back, a hallway leads to a bedroom with a bathroom and closet. The same hallway that leads to the garage also has a door that leads to the master bedroom, bathroom and closet.
SS-30048 Barndominium House Plan
Here is another monoslope barndo plan that is similar to the one above, this time measuring 40’ x 80’. Once again, there is a large garage/workshop that takes up almost half the length of the home, and the monoslope roof rises from its lowest point over the garage to its highest point on the opposite side of the house. So, when you stand facing the house, you see that dramatic slant of the roof.
Entering the house from the front porch brings you to the living room, which has a high ceiling since the space above it has been left open. The living room connects to the dining room and the kitchen, with the kitchen in the back of the house. To the right, you can access the mudroom and laundry room, as well as the garage. A door from the dining room leads to a downstairs bedroom, closet and bathroom, also on the right.
The kitchen has a walk-in pantry, which is on the left. A door that leads off the living room on the left takes you to the master bedroom, master bathroom, and walk-in mater closet.
Upstairs, there is a loft above the kitchen, a hallway, and a pair of bedrooms and closets, plus a shared bathroom.
BG-20110 Jones Barndominium House Plan
This 2,890 square foot barndo plan features a single story. A 4-car garage takes up about half of the length of the home. Instead of a roofline that includes a single monoslope spanning the whole house, there are two mono-slope roofs, each slanting in the opposite direction. One is the roof over the garage, and the other is the roof over the rest of the home.
This design allows for extra tall garage doors, as well as extra tall windows on the opposite side of the live-in part of the home.
The front doors of this home open on a foyer. A door to the right leads to an office. If you continue forward, a hallway branches off to the left. This takes you to the master bedroom plus two additional bedrooms. The two smaller bedrooms share a bathroom. The master bedroom has its own master bathroom. There is also a half bath right off the hall. The laundry room is centrally located in this part of the house.
If you walk straight from the front door through the foyer instead of taking any turns, you get to the great room and kitchen, which are combined in an open layout. An exciting feature of this home is that there is a large covered porch you can access from the great room that includes an outdoor kitchen and a bar top. So, this is the perfect feature if you want to host backyard cookouts.
