American Farmhouse

Located on farmland in McLean, Virginia, the American Farmhouse balances the expected comforts of luxury home construction with the bucolic beauty of farmhouse architecture. The final site plan still has evidence showing parallel courses of the barn’s destiny. In the farmhouse house plans, Earthy and elemental materials are selected for the home that reference the barn without directly mimicking it. Wooden members found inside the barn and from other barns bridge ceilings and are used in floors along with rustic slate adding to a sense of simple traditional architecture to this farmhouse design.
