Building a Horse Barn with Living Quarters in Florida

Stalls below, living quarters above, all under one roofline. How it is laid out, a real build with its spec sheet, and who does which part of the job.

The short answer

A center aisle barn can be framed loft ready, with living quarters overhead. The stalls, tack room and wash bay sit on the ground floor either side of the aisle, and the living space sits above them under the same roof.

A real build: the Masoud barn

A full center aisle horse barn with a second story loft and a covered balcony overlooking the aisle. Stalls below, living quarters above, all under one continuous roofline, under a Gloss Black metal roof with Charcoal Gray gables.

Who does what

We build the structural shell, roofing, framing, concrete and siding. Electrical and plumbing are left to licensed trade professionals: once our construction permits are closed and finalized with your local building department, you bring in your chosen contractors to run wires, install fixtures and finish the inside.
