Barndominium Construction in Lake Elmo, MN

Orton Companies designs and builds barndominiums in Lake Elmo in Minnesota — living space, shop, and storage under one roof, detailed for Minnesota weather.

A shop-house in Lake Elmo has to work as a home and as a building you can pull into. We plan the living layout with the bays, the doors, and the insulation so the structure is permitted for how you will actually use it. Design and construction stay with the same crew from the first sketch to move-in.
