Why drive across town to the gym, the arcade, or the rec center when you can have it all under your own roof? Barndominiums aren’t just about combining a shop and living quarters—they’re also about creating versatile spaces that make life more fun.
A sport court or rec room inside your barndo is more than just a cool feature. It’s a smart investment that saves money, keeps families active, and makes your home the go-to destination for friends and family.
The Options Are Endless
- Basketball Courts – Whether it’s a half-court for a quick game of HORSE or a full indoor court, barndos have the ceiling height and square footage to make it happen.
- Golf Simulators – Rain or snow can’t stop your swing when you’ve got a simulator tucked into your rec room.
- Arcade Corners – Pinball, air hockey, or old-school Pac-Man—set up a retro space that appeals to every generation.
- Personal Gyms – Build your dream fitness setup without monthly membership fees.
- Rock Climbing Walls – For the adventurous at heart, turn one wall of your barndo into a climbing feature.
Why It Pays Off
- Cost Savings – Gym memberships, travel to rec centers, and entertainment costs add up. Having it all at home saves money in the long run.
- Convenience – No commute, no weather cancellations, and no waiting for equipment.
- Family Time – Shared activities at home mean more time together.
- Designing for Recreation
- The beauty of a barndo is flexibility. Our drafting team can carve out space in your shop, your basement, or even an upstairs loft. With proper planning, you can integrate rec spaces seamlessly without sacrificing living or storage areas.
The Takeaway
Your barndominium should be more than just a home—it should be a hub for your lifestyle. Adding a sport court or rec room makes every day feel like a weekend and ensures the fun is never far from home.
