Our design goal for this project is to enhance and elevate the simple, iconic form of the barn with

From Modern Farmhouses to Modern Barns, design inspiration for Modern Dormers seems to have come up a lot lately.

Lately we’ve been property hunting in the Hudson Valley with

Modern Fireplaces – A Central Focus for Design For one of our current projects we are designing a modern central fireplace as the focus for the main living area. This idea doesn’t sound atypical for our designs; fireplaces in our homes are almost always a central focus for the living room. However, this one is a

Winter is certainly here, and that means it’s time for us to start swooning over cozy cabins and glowing fireplaces again! We’ve posted previously about modern cabins here and here, and we’ve recently talked about Small Modern Homes. Today we’re getting even more cozy and presenting our latest round of inspiration for small modern cabins.
