There’s something uniquely satisfying about stepping into a home that feels like it was made for you. The layout flows just right, the rooms fit your rhythm, and every corner reflects what matters most in your day-to-day life. That’s the beauty of a well-designed barndominium—and it’s exactly what we aim to deliver at Dutch Builders.
Here in Ohio, we know that a home has to do more than look good. It needs to stand up to unpredictable weather, offer energy efficiency year-round, and make smart use of space without compromising comfort. That’s why we’ve crafted a suite of thoughtfully designed, ready-made barndominium floor plans that reflect real-life needs and the way Ohio families live, work, and grow.
In this guide, we’re going to take a closer look at our most popular models—from the functional elegance of the Maria, to the stylish versatility of the Vesta, to the expanding Dora and Mina series. Each home has its own personality, but all share the same foundational values: quality, livability, and long-lasting beauty.
Whether you’re building your forever home on a family plot in Clermont County or dreaming of peaceful evenings on your porch in Georgetown, let’s explore the models that are helping Ohioans turn their land into legacy.
If you're looking for a layout that feels open, bright, and efficient—without being overwhelming in size—The Maria is a standout choice. Designed with the practical homeowner in mind, this model offers a beautiful blend of style and simplicity.
Inside, you’ll find a spacious open-concept layout where the kitchen, dining area, and living room flow together seamlessly. This makes entertaining not only possible, but enjoyable, and ensures that the heart of the home remains connected and inclusive. Whether you're prepping dinner while the kids do homework at the table or hosting friends for a weekend gathering, the Maria gives you the kind of space that flexes with your lifestyle.
Bedrooms are tucked away to offer privacy without isolating anyone, and the primary suite is generously sized with a walk-in closet and attached bathroom. Storage is well-considered throughout the layout, making it easy to stay organized without sacrificing space.
For homeowners looking for a no-fuss floor plan that delivers everything you need—and nothing you don’t—the Maria is one of our most popular models for good reason.
Best for: First-time homeowners, small families, or retirees seeking a manageable, well-designed space
Notable features: Integrated open living area, efficient layout, strong resale appeal
If you like the idea of building on a solid design foundation but want room for flexibility, the Mina Series offers just that. Available in versions like Mina 2.0 and Mina 3.0, this evolving lineup gives families and forward-thinkers a fresh take on modern barndominium living.
The original Mina already delivers a spacious feel with its bright, open-concept layout and clean lines. But the 2.0 and 3.0 versions expand upon that core idea, offering additional bedrooms, larger living areas, and upgraded features that fit today’s lifestyles.
One of Mina’s most celebrated features is its natural flow—from the large family room to the well-appointed kitchen and beyond. Picture tall ceilings, oversized windows, and a kitchen island built for everything from pancake breakfasts to project night with the kids. Depending on the version, you’ll also enjoy flexible spaces like an office nook, bonus room, or even a mudroom that keeps coats and boots from taking over your entryway (a must for Ohio winters!).
This model adapts beautifully to different lot types, whether you're building on flat acreage or nestled into wooded terrain. Its open-plan design makes it feel even larger than it is, and it lends itself to both cozy, cabin-style finishes and sleek modern upgrades.
Best for: Growing families, multi-generational households, or anyone who wants space to evolve
Notable features: Expanded versions, flexible room uses, stylish and functional open flow
Here in Ohio, we love to make the most of our outdoor seasons—crisp fall evenings, springtime breezes, and summer nights under the stars. That’s why The Patio Home was designed with outdoor access and enjoyment in mind, seamlessly blending indoor comfort with outdoor charm.
As the name suggests, the highlight of this model is the dedicated patio area, which serves as a natural extension of the interior living space. Large glass doors open from the main living area onto the patio, making it easy to host cookouts, enjoy family dinners al fresco, or simply relax with a cup of coffee and a view of your land.
Inside, the layout is smart and straightforward. The kitchen is central, with direct views of both the patio and living room. Bedrooms are private, yet not isolated, and each room benefits from ample natural light—creating an airy, comfortable atmosphere throughout the home.
For those who prioritize lifestyle over square footage, the Patio Home offers the kind of thoughtful design that makes everyday living feel just a little more elevated.
Best for: Outdoor enthusiasts, entertainers, or homeowners who value low-maintenance luxury
Notable features: Direct patio access, lifestyle-centric layout, natural lighting
Some homes simply have presence, and The Vesta is one of them. From its eye-catching architecture to its balance of charm and modern comfort, this model is designed for those who want a home that’s both practical and full of personality.
The Vesta’s layout emphasizes wide, welcoming spaces. The central living area is open and connected, ideal for both entertaining and everyday routines. The kitchen—often the anchor of the home—is built to impress with ample storage, a generous island, and thoughtful sightlines that keep you engaged with the rest of the house.
Private areas, including the bedrooms and baths, are positioned to give each family member their own space while still feeling cohesive as a whole. This is a model where traditional aesthetics meet modern touches, offering flexibility in both interior design and function.
What truly sets the Vesta apart is its adaptability. Whether you prefer farmhouse flair or clean modern lines, this plan gives you a structure that welcomes your vision and stands out in any setting.
Best for: Homeowners who value design and long-term livability
Notable features: Unique architecture, design-forward layout, room for personal style
With the Dora, Dora 2.0, and Dora 3.0, Dutch Builders offers a lineup that evolves with your needs. Each version builds on the core strengths of the last, incorporating homeowner feedback, new lifestyle trends, and smart innovations to make each one even better than the version before.
The original Dora model is already a strong performer—open living spaces, intuitive room flow, and a focus on function. But as needs change, so do the homes. The 2.0 and 3.0 iterations expand room sizes, add bathrooms, reconfigure traffic flow, or include upgraded utility spaces like laundry rooms and storage zones.
These homes are ideal for buyers who know what works—and what they want to improve. The progression from the Dora to Dora 3.0 reflects Dutch Builders' commitment to continual improvement, always with the homeowner in mind.
With large primary suites, dedicated family zones, and kitchens that make daily life easier, the Dora series delivers across the board.
Best for: Repeat homeowners, families looking to scale up, or those who appreciate refined design evolution
Notable features: Progressive layout enhancements, smart upgrades, homeowner-informed evolution
