This House Story explores an architect's thoughtful process of converting a blank canvas into a warm, intimate dwelling, resonating with the charm of farmhouse simplicity.
Beginning with a vision, the homeowners crafted a story around the origins of the house-a tale of growth, expansion, and timeless integration with the picturesque landscape. The home was designed to foster family connection, while also providing a retreat for those occasional empty-nest moments where the house seems to shrink into an intimate, cozy space.
The blend of materials were chosen not just for aesthetics but also to embrace wear, and to tell a story. From concrete floors resilient to the test of time to cedar intentionally left to patina, every scratch and mark narrates a chapter of the family's journey.
The homeowners share the serendipitous discovery of the property as well as the challenges and triumphs of constructing a famly home bound by a modest budget.
