The Hosta Plan by Fry Design Co is a 2,368-square-foot two-story monitor style barndominium house plan with 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a loft, and a 3-car garage. It is a stately take on the classic barn silhouette, with room to spread out on both floors.
The Hosta stands out on its land. Its monitor style profile gives it a commanding presence, and a loft on the second story adds flexible space above the main floor. You can compare it with other designs in our barndominium plans collection.
What is a monitor style barndominium?
A monitor style barn has a raised center section with its own roof, flanked by lower wings on each side. The style is also called a western, basilican, or clerestory roof, and its raised center gives better light and ventilation than a traditional gable barn, according to Historic Spokane. Applied to a home, the monitor shape creates a tall central space and a distinctive barn profile that reads clearly from a distance.

Who is the Hosta plan best for?
The Hosta suits buyers who want a barndominium that looks like a barn, with practical space inside:
- Fans of the classic barn shape. The monitor style profile is one of the most recognizable barn forms.
- Households that value bathroom access. Three bathrooms for three bedrooms means fewer shared baths.
- People who need flexible space. The second-story loft can serve as an office, a game room, or a reading spot. If it becomes an office, our post on what to keep open and what to close back up covers how to plan it.
- Owners with vehicles or equipment. A 3-car garage leaves room for trucks, tools, or a workshop. Our post on shop with living quarters layouts covers how to separate work space from the home.
If you prefer a farmhouse look over a barn silhouette, the Peony or the Willow may suit you better.
Ways to customize the Hosta
Any Fry Design Co plan can be modified to fit your lot. On the Hosta, owners might enclose the loft as a fourth bedroom, add a covered porch, or flip the plan for their site. We quote every change before work starts. Here is how our modification pricing typically breaks down, on top of the plan price:
|
Type of change |
Typical price |
|---|---|
|
Minor (windows, doors, non-load-bearing walls, finishes) |
$200 to $500 |
|
Moderate (adding a room, garage or porch changes, foundation change) |
$500 to $1,500 |
|
Major (footprint changes, load-bearing walls, structural redesign) |
$1,500 and up |
Simple updates usually take a few days to a week. Complex redesigns take two to three weeks. Our post on what you can change on a stock house plan covers this in more detail, and our guide to how much house you can afford to build can help you set a budget.
What to expect after you buy the Hosta plan
- Builder-ready plans. A qualified builder can price the Hosta and build from the plans you receive. Building in Oklahoma? Fry Design Co can also build it for you. Learn about our design and build services.

- Changes when you need them. If something is close but not quite right, we can modify the plan without starting over.
