Honoring History Through Thoughtful Design

The design process focused on honoring the farm’s history, using an ‘exploded’ floor plan to create separate but connected pods for privacy. Eastern hemlock siding, traditionally used in barns, was milled and weathered on-site to enhance the ‘barn’ aesthetic further.
