I'm looking for a skilled architect or designer to create a unique farm barn structure using rammed earth. The barn will primarily serve as a residence but should be designed to resemble a traditional barn or shed. Key Requirements: - The design should incorporate modern rammed earth techniques while maintaining a rustic barn aesthetic. - The barn should be functional as a residence with appropriate living spaces. - Expertise in sustainable building practices and materials is highly desirable. - Previous experience in designing farm structures or similar rural projects is a plus. - Basically, I have a 13.5 x 6.5 concrete slab already down and I am keen to build a skillion based (barn style) shed/house with a Mezzanine floor at the front of the building. I do have a floor plan somewhere (but dont have the electronic copy on me) though I have a photo of the one that the plumber provided me i can attach. - The building will be made using Rammed Earth materials and other than two mezzanine floors (two bedrooms) one over each high corner there is pretty much have a blank canvas to design. - I have attached some design suggestions, basically outlining the current footprint. - I am also looking for a barnlike entrance/Window/door on the second level of the mezzanine which are ideally placed on each corner but accessed from each room (proposed for the the middle of the building) - Haven't decided yet if I will extend the final top of the roof or provide a smaller veranda on the first level. - Other than a small wall separating the bottom bathroom and the kitchen (square) there will be no requirement for walls on the lower level. - On the low side of the scallion roof I would like just one window (1 metre round window) - Bathroom I am looking at installing glass blocks and the door to the outside of the building at this stage will be removed (though I am potentially looking at changing the position of the door to allow access to the toilet outlet from above) though this really wont effect overall design and can be completed onsite during the earth wall construction. - I am leaning more towards the design outlined in skillion house one, though all entrances from the front with no windows or doors to the right of the building (facing the building) Ideal Skills and Experience: - Proficiency in architectural design software - Strong understanding of rammed earth construction - Creative approach to blending modern design with traditional forms - Excellent project management skills to ensure timely delivery within budget

Hi, I have worked on similar small residential concept projects where rustic exterior forms, mezzanine bedrooms, simple open-plan living areas, and natural material finishes had to be coordinated into a practical layout. I have also helped develop early architectural drawings for unconventional building systems, including thick wall construction, concrete slab layouts, barn-style roofs, limited window placement, and cost-conscious design options. I'd love to share my experiences with you. Best regards, Epa

I have experience with residential design, rural/farm structures, sustainable materials, and permit-ready architectural drawings. I can work from your photos, marked-up floor plan, and design references to create a clean concept and full drawing package. I would be happy to review your current slab plan and ideas, then prepare a practical design that keeps the barn/shed look while making the space work well as a residence. Best regards, Robert

Hello, I have experience designing rural residential buildings, barn-style homes, mezzanine layouts, and sustainable material concepts, including projects where the existing slab and site constraints drive the design. This project is a strong fit because you need a rammed-earth skillion shed/house that feels rustic and practical while making smart use of the 13.5 x 6.5 m footprint. I will review your slab dimensions, plumber’s plan, photos, and design references, then develop a functional layout with open lower-level living, kitchen, bathroom, mezzanine bedrooms, barn-style upper openings, round window placement, and front-focused access. I will refine the roof, veranda option, window/door positions, and rammed-earth wall strategy so the design is buildable, visually cohesive, and ready for the next approval or documentation stage. I can also share similar rural or sustainable design samples for review. Thanks for reading my proposal. Edwin

Hello!I understand you need a detailed architectural concept and design for a rammed earth barn-style residential structure built on an existing 13.5m x 6.5m concrete slab, incorporating a skillion roof form, mezzanine bedrooms at upper corners, and a mostly open-plan lower level while maintaining a rustic barn aesthetic with modern sustainable construction methods. I have experience in sustainable architectural design and rural residential structures, including concept development for rammed earth, earthbag, and hybrid natural-material buildings where structural simplicity, thermal performance, and spatial efficiency must be balanced with architectural character. The technical approach would begin with translating your slab constraints and sketch references into a scaled architectural layout, defining structural zones for rammed earth walling, mezzanine load paths, and roof geometry while maintaining passive design principles for ventilation and lighting. I will then develop a cohesive barn-inspired facade strategy with controlled openings (including the mezzanine corner access points and the circular window feature), ensuring structural feasibility for rammed earth construction and clear build sequencing for onsite execution. Finally, I will refine the design into a coordinated concept package with floor plan, elevations, and basic structural intent so it can be confidently taken into detailed engineering and construction.
