The Redwood Modern Farmhouse is a favorite here at Abrigo Home. The goal of 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, allowing us to create open spaces and blend the industrial with the 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 farmer’s porch is large enough for many 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 and 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 only 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 homeowner’s needs. 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 sq ft house or a 2800 sq ft house, with options in between.
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!
