TINY, ONTARIO
Coming Spring 2027 to Tiny, Ontario, this 30' × 36'x 12 Barndo Canada cottage proves that great cottage living isn't measured by how big you build — it's measured by how well you use the space and who you share it with. At 1,080 sq. ft., this compact cottage is designed for four-season Ontario living, combining an efficient footprint with the durability and low-maintenance advantages of a pre-engineered steel building. A beautiful canopy porch creates that essential cottage outdoor living space — somewhere to kick off the shoes, grab a drink, settle in and enjoy everything cottage country has to offer. And we're not wasting that roof pitch. The additional height creates the opportunity for loft storage or extra bunk space, giving the family somewhere to put the gear — or somewhere to put a few more kids when the cottage inevitably fills up for the weekend. Because that's what cottages are supposed to do. They bring families together. Summer weekends. Fall colours. Christmas at the cottage. Winter adventures. Spring mornings by the water. This isn't being designed as somewhere to escape to for a few weeks every summer. It's being built to enjoy all season long.
ELK LAKE, ONTARIO
Coming Spring 2027 to Elk Lake, Ontario, this 30' × 60' Barndo Canada project proves you don't need an enormous footprint to create one hell of a country home. The 1,800 sq. ft. main footprint is complemented by an additional 480 sq. ft. loft, making clever use of the building's 14' height and creating extra living space without unnecessarily increasing the footprint. But it's the exterior that really puts the “B” in Beautiful Barndo. A 10-foot inset porch creates a protected outdoor living area within the building footprint, while the additional canopy porch cover extends the architecture outward and gives this Barndo its distinctive country character. And because beautiful shouldn't mean high maintenance, the pre-engineered steel exterior provides a non-combustible, low-maintenance building envelope designed for the realities of Canadian country living.
