IT is not often from an entire customer -specific home project that comes together without a trailer – no problems, challenges or complaints. But for Independence House owners Amy and Trevin, they describe the experience of building their dream house alongside Brandon Derks from Haven Homes and Gabriela Laboy from O'Hara Interiors. When I think about her trip, Trevin said – in his eyes -: “If we were building another house tomorrow, I wouldn't do it with two other people.”
With a strong mutual trust and a joint vision, the homeowners quickly said “yes” and “let's get started” in every phase of the process – what the selection of the degree or the selection of large design decisions. But this vision began with the country itself: the location of the original Meyer Brothers Dairy Barn, who first pulled Amy and Trevin on the lot and formed the design direction for the entire project. Laboy says: “From the bat, [the homeowners] imagined a modern farmhouse look ” – an aesthetics that, according to Trevin, holds its“ noble casual ”style.
With a mixed family of five boys who moved in and moved in – plus two dogs! – was a further important consideration. The solution was an Open Concept layout that promotes the river and the connection between all the most important living rooms-and easy to maintain or simply spend them together. According to Laboy, the entire main level was interpreted “functional but casual and inviting”.
In order to bring the overall picture to life, the team leaned into an earthy palette of white, beige and browns with occasional greens. They also prioritized organic materials such as recovered wood, natural stone and metal accents to ensure that “everything comes together coherent,” adds Laboy. This may be best illustrated in the large room, in which exposed bars easily grasp the aesthetics of the farmhouse and at the same time add a layer of relaxed luxury. From the moment they step on the inside, Derks says: “The high, arched blankets and large windows make it great at home.”
Throughout the house, layered textures and cohesive designs carry depth and character. In the main living area, for example, the fireplace wall has the same veneer stone on the outside of the house. On the left is a small wood that is installed with shelves for the decor of the homeowners, a graceful arc that imitates the near the butler nearby. It is these subtle, repeated details that give the home a feeling of intention and the sophistication – the homeowners who pause and appreciate them every time they are noticed.
Now the family spends most of the time in large space, where breathtaking windows with room -high windows frame the best view in the house. And every time you look outside, you are filled with the same security: you should always be here.
A Limewash wall finish in the primary bedroom adds texture and visual interest. “It balances the room and creates a nice, quiet atmosphere,” notes Laboy. On both sides of the bed, PELLA Windows Windows views of the autumn trees outside.
One of Amy's must-haves was a quiet bathtub, and the design building team delivered with a large, rocky hiking tub that was perfectly positioned under a chandelier made of arteriors and overlooks the garden. Schilperschiche cupboards on the vanity adds an increased level of detail that gives the aesthetics of the farmhouse a modern note. The tile – both on the ground and in the shower – is another repeated design element. As Amy says, the tile gave “the house a different dimension”.
