Director

Luke Fryer is the Founder and Director of Longhorn Barndominiums, bringing more than 20 years of experience across residential construction, project delivery and design-led development.

Driven by a passion for architecture and innovation, Luke spent extensive time in the United States, including Texas, immersing himself in the heritage and craftsmanship of barndominium design and construction. This research became the foundation for Longhorn’s authentic approach to barn-inspired homes in Australia.

Before founding Longhorn, Luke spent 15 years with Metricon Homes, Australia’s largest home builder, where he held senior leadership roles across New South Wales and Queensland. His time with Metricon gave him a deep understanding of what Australians value in a home, as well as the systems required to deliver a professional, high-quality building experience.

Luke also brings experience in cost planning, project feasibility and premium commercial delivery, having worked as Estimating Manager with Australian Developments and later as CEO of Australasian Retail Projects.

Today, Luke leads Longhorn with a vision: to introduce a distinctive new style of home to Australia, combining barn-inspired architecture, refined design and the freedom of acreage living.
