The IronField Build — Merlin, Ontario
Merlin, ON
This is the IronField build — the barndominium that founder designed, engineered, and built as both builder and mechanical contractor. It is the reference project behind the entire IronField planning system.
Featured in Plumbing & HVAC Magazine and The Drive Magazine, this 4,004 sq ft post-frame home pairs a fully heated and cooled shop with a high-performance living space — 5-zone radiant in-floor heat, a hybrid heat pump and IBC combi-boiler system, HRV ventilation, and full smart-home automation.
This property has sold. It remains here as a showcase of what systems-first planning looks like when every slab detail, mechanical run, and drainage decision is mapped before the pour.
