This modern farmhouse, found nestled in the back of a long, wooded lot in Worthington, Ohio, showcases mixed materials on the exterior adding to the modern look of the home. The dark board and batten mixed with standard wood siding in the same color add visual texture to the home, while the stone water table and natural wood accents add warmth to the overall exterior aesthetic.
The Modern Farmhouse
Sleek, modern, chic, and contemporary — did you realize those words could be used to describe a farmhouse? Gone are the farmhouses filled with dark wood, loads of shiplap, and overly rustic design elements. Farmhouse style isn’t going anywhere, but it has evolved, and the design team here at RDS has embraced these changes when designing new homes for our clients.
Project Profile - A Custom Farmhouse
This family of 5 wanted to build a new home in a rural setting that would allow them to appreciate their hobbies and interests.
In addition to their custom designed farmhouse with a large wrap around porch, outdoor living spaces were designed to incorporate a pool and adjacent greenhouse.
A barn will be constructed on the property, leaving plenty of space for their 3 children to run and explore their 5 acres. They were inspired by the urban farmhouse style including industrial, yet classic, finishes inside.
The open first floor layout will be perfect for family time as well as entertaining, with large bedrooms upstairs, a master suite balcony, and a unique studio loft over the garage.
