Denver architecture: Contemporary Farmhouse

Traditional farmhouse designs are nearly synonymous with the American Midwest. Though never really out of style, home designs are experiencing a profound resurgence of farmhouse elements thanks to popular home design shows. However, there is a difference between the traditional farmhouse look that has been around for centuries, versus the modern take on a classic favorite.

Within the Contemporary Farmhouse, designers often borrow from the Shed-style appeal and create homes with drool-worthy porches, gabled roofs, elements of metal and wood, vertical board siding (or natural stone/rock), and large windows to enjoy the sweeping views of Colorado mountains.

Instead of small, paned windows, the new farmhouses feature oversize windows and sliding doors to bring in as much of the outdoors as possible.

Above, I love the gabled roof lines and old stone walls that give an element of an English countryside farmhouse, yet the stark contrast of dark metal siding creates a visually engaging design.
