Positive pressure in the clean area may be easier to maintain, assuming it does not have large air leaks.

        Too much negative pressure in the smithy and the smoke comes down
the chimney instead of up.

So your future house is a pole barn?   As far as keeping smith dust from
migrating to the rest of the house/pole barn,  one options is to run a
big ventillation fan to create a low pressure zone in the smithy.   Good
for a number of reasons, the least of which is migration of dust to the
rest of the house.   Most of my migration issues are due to a twenty
year old son that doesn't have the sense to shake the dust off before
heading into the house.  In the summer I can get a pretty well defined
soot trail that runs from the forge to the refrigerator.   He can run
the tanks and the fridge dry in an afternoon of smithing.
