Barndominium Studio was built because the market needed it.
For years, the barndominium conversation in Australia was dominated by two types of businesses: farm shed suppliers who'd slap in some gyproc and call it a home, and volume builders who didn't understand acreage, topography, or what a client actually wanted.
Anthony Jenkin spent a decade in sustainable building design. He watched clients spend good money on bad drawings and worse outcomes. He watched the barndominium category grow — driven by American YouTube content — without a serious Australian player that understood local conditions, local councils, and what a proper home actually needed.
Barndominium Studio is the fix.
"Project builders won't touch rural land. Custom architects take 18 months and cost twice as much. Shed builders produce sheds. We built something better."
Anthony is a licensed architect and the lead designer behind every home in the Barndominium Studio catalogue. He brings a decade of experience in sustainable, high-performance building design to every project — including work in Passive House methodology, energy ratings, and rural and remote construction.
He's not here to sell you a dream. He's here to help you build one that actually works — for your climate, your site, your council, and your budget.
Every client who engages Barndominium Studio gets access to Anthony's expertise. Not a salesperson. Not an offshore drafting team. The architect.
Meet Anthony — Book a CallTraditional bespoke architecture is expensive for a reason. But most rural homebuilders don't need a ground-up custom design — they need a well-designed, proven plan that suits their site, meets their council, and can be built by a competent local builder.
That's what Barndominium Studio delivers. Catalogued, architect-designed homes that hit the sweet spot between volume-builder mediocrity and full-service custom architecture.
