The Farmhouse design style has deep roots in America’s agricultural history, when it was widely adopted for being both practical and comfortable. Central to the design style is a warm hearth for the family to gather during cold winters. Heavy timbers, the most practical material for construction at the time of the settlers, support the entire structure while providing the signature cozy atmosphere that is a staple of farmhouses. The traditional lofted children’s bedrooms with slanted roofs and exposed timbers fill the childhood memories of countless American’s to this day.

Woodhouse has taken the timeless core elements of this design style and given it an update in our latest series: Modern Farmhouse. We used the popular open concept from modern design to unite the kitchen and dining area with the traditional fireplace gathering space, allowing these functions to flow naturally while enjoying each other’s company. Using the latest advancements in window insulation these designs also bring the sweeping panoramic window displays from the modern design style, allowing more natural light into the space, while opening up the view visible from the comfort of the hearth.
