BrookHouse, a unique barndominium in Colorado Springs Colorado, offers more than just event space — it serves as a model for integrated rural living and sustainable design. Located on the west end of the property are two fully equipped short-term vacation rentals. Each features a private entrance, bedroom, bathroom, and kitchenette.
On the south side, a private entrance opens to an Integrative Wellness Center that provides advanced BioScan health assessments and personalized supplement protocols based on European research and holistic care practices.
Built into the north hillside, the barndominium takes advantage of natural earth berming to regulate interior temperatures year-round. Passive solar design maximizes winter warmth, with generous southern windows heating the epoxy floor’s thermal mass.
A sunroom on the east side features an overhead door that welcomes the morning light and houses a therapeutic mineral soak with ozone filtration, used in wellness treatments. The space also supports a working aquaponics and aeroponics system producing leafy greens, herbs, tomatoes, and tilapia. Designed as a prototype, this system is slated for deployment in Ghana to assist rural communities in developing sustainable food sources. The barndominium is topped with a sleek black metal roof, including a snow guard system designed and engineered to reduce the risk of rooftop avalanches.
