Redwood Modern Farmhouse
Architectural Design Overview
The Redwood Modern Farmhouse is a favorite here at Abrigo Home. The goal with this house was to create a contemporary home with unique lines and materials while being super efficient with square footage.
There is a lot of steel in this house, affording us the ability to create open spaces and blend the industrial with farmhouse vibe. The dark exteriors help to blend the house into the landscape and offer a “different” look while not costing any more money. The large 8’ deep farmers porch is large enough for a plethora of rocking chairs and the back walks out to a patio should your grade agree with this elevation. Quite easily, this could also be a back deck and a walk-out basement.
The interior layout boasts an oversized garage entering into a large mudroom with plenty of storage. There is a green wallpapered bathroom as well as a kitchen right off the mudroom. The kitchen island seats seven to eight people and can function as a dining room – great for entertaining. The open first-floor space can be used as a living/dining room or just a dining room once the great room is completed.
The second floor has three bedrooms plus a primary suite and a shared bathroom. There is a seating area that can also be an office, depending on the needs of the homeowner. And there is a deck off the second porch connecting the office area and the primary bathroom.
The materials in this project are fun and inspiring, meant to entertain while still calling the house a home.
The overall concept of this house is to grow as a family grows. It can be built as an 1800 sf house or a 2800 sf house and options in-between.
Who is this home plan for?
The house can sit on a sloped or flat lot, either would work just fine. In the case of this project, we decided on making the lot relatively flat with a shallow slope away from the house. That said, it also can be built on any slope of a lot and the basement can be completely usable for additional square footage.
The house is great for the young homeowners starting a family or just want more space than an apartment. Ideally, this house would be situated in the woods or a neighborhood on a wide lot.
Customizable House Plan Specifications
How can this structure be customized?
With a strong gable roof over the garage and also over the dining / living area, it is very easy to simply extend these out. Then, you can add the great room off the right side of the house when needed. An additional bedroom can be created by dormering out the garage for a new primary suite and converting the original primary suite into bedroom 3 and creating a short hallway. All of this work is intended to build as additions to the house and not go backwards by ripping anything out, saving time and money. We’ve done the customizing, you just enjoy the house!
