The Gaillardia 1 Luxury Barndominium House Plan

The Gaillardia 1 Plan by Fry Design Co is a 5,643-square-foot two-story luxury barndominium house plan with 3 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, a bunk room, and a 2-car garage on an 82-by-83-foot footprint. It began as an original design for a family who wanted it all, and it combines a family home and a private retreat in one house.

The headline feature is a full-sized indoor pickleball court under a 29-by-49-foot vaulted ceiling. A regulation pickleball court measures 20 by 44 feet, according to USA Pickleball, so the court fits inside the room with space around it. The court adds a half-court basketball rim, a tennis backcourt, a rock climbing wall, and a rope climbing wall, and a gaming and TV room opens onto it through a glass roll-up door. You can compare it with other designs in our barndominium plans collection.

The Gaillardia 1 plan at a glance

What is on each floor of the Gaillardia 1?

Outside. A spectacular outdoor kitchen and grilling area sits under a three-sided wraparound porch measuring 37 by 20 feet.

Main floor. A gourmet kitchen opens to a large great room with wood beams on a vaulted ceiling, with a dining room alongside. The main floor also holds a large mud and laundry space, an oversized primary suite with a wet room, a guest suite with a five-star feel, the gaming and TV room, and the indoor court.

Upstairs. A loft overlooks the great room. Around it are the 12-by-24-foot bunk room, an exercise room, an office, a 24-by-22-foot playroom with a tube slide down to the pickleball court, and a 10-seat tiered theater room.

Who is the Gaillardia 1 plan best for?

The Gaillardia 1 is built for families who want their home to be the destination:

• Active families. Pickleball, basketball, tennis practice, and two climbing walls mean year-round recreation without leaving home.
• Hosts. An outdoor kitchen, a theater, and a great room under wood beams make it easy to entertain large groups. Outdoor living space is near the top of most buyers' lists: 86 percent rated a patio essential or desirable in the National Association of Home Builders' 2024 What Home Buyers Really Want study.
• Families with visiting kids and grandkids. The bunk room, playroom, and guest suite give every age a place to land. If visiting family needs a place of its own, our post on what a guest house costs to build covers the numbers.
• Owners with a large lot and a luxury budget. The 82-by-83-foot footprint needs room, and the feature list is built for a high-end build.

If you want a home under 3,000 square feet or a simpler build, the Gaillardia 1 is not the right fit. The Peony and the Aurelia offer generous family space at roughly half the size.
