North Idaho Barndominium Tour Episode 3 | Custom Steel Shop Reveal (Project #12135)
A custom steel shop in North Idaho is more than a place to park vehicles and store equipment. For Shaunceen, it’s where life, work, and celebration come together under one extraordinary roof. Her 52′ x 60′ barndominium shop, built by Steel Structures America, features a fully finished game loft, a full kitchen designed for hosting, and custom details that make this space truly one of a kind.
Built to Host and Entertain
Shaunceen and her husband have Portuguese friends who love to cook. That’s why they put a full kitchen in the shop. She explained that last week, she had a friend over and both of them were cooking together without bumping into each other. The space works.
This custom steel shop in North Idaho was designed with entertaining in mind. The kitchen isn’t just functional. It’s built for moments that matter. Friends. Family. Food. All happening in a space that blends purpose with comfort.
More Than Just Storage
The shop serves multiple needs. It stores ATVs and a fifth-wheel. But it also includes two full bathrooms, a mechanic room with HVAC and washer-dryer connections, and a game loft upstairs where the family can gather. The loft features stick wood walls, heated tile floors, and a bar area with drink rail details.
Natural Light and Million-Dollar Views
One of the standout features of this custom steel shop in North Idaho is the natural light. Glass garage doors and strategically placed windows bring the outdoors in.
The rubber stairs leading up to the loft provide safe access. The loft railing and bar top add character. Every detail was chosen with intention.
