This one had a lot going on - and that's exactly how we like it. The Cambridge, Minnesota build is a 40x80x16 barndominium with a 25x40 living quarters tucked inside. One bedroom, one bath, a loft that looks out over the shop floor, and a mother-in-law suite that actually feels like a real home. Not an afterthought. A real, finished living space.
Step into the living quarters and you get dark LVP flooring, white shaker cabinets, stainless appliances, and recessed lighting throughout. The bathroom has a quartz vanity top and clean, modern finishes. The bedroom spaces are carpeted with fresh white walls and good natural light from the windows. It's the kind of interior that surprises people who don't realize how dialed-in a barndominium build can actually be.
The shop floor is where the garage concrete work really shines. We poured and finished a polished concrete floor with a high-gloss sealer that reflects the overhead lights across the entire space. Control joints are cut clean and even throughout. From the loft view, you can see just how large and open this shop is - plenty of room for equipment, vehicles, or serious workspace.
Outside, the stamped concrete is what really sets this property apart. We used a wood plank stamp pattern that flows in wide, sweeping curves around the exterior of the building. The color layering gives it real depth - it reads warm and natural against the dark metal exterior and the surrounding tree line. That combination of matte stamped texture with the clean raised border edge wrapping around the patio is a detail that takes real skill to pull off well.
Barndominiums are one of the most flexible builds out there when they're planned right. You get the shop space you need, the living space you want, and a property that works harder than a standard home ever could. This Cambridge build is a good example of what happens when the construction, concrete, and finishing all come from the same team with the same standard of work.
