Modern Farmhouse Concept
At the outset of a new project, we initiate the process by developing a preliminary concept design. This initial sketch is a foundation for further design refinement to ensure it aligns with our client’s specific needs and preferences. Through this iterative process, we work to enhance and finalize our modern Canadian farmhouse design, illustrated in the completed construction plan elevations below.
Features of the Design
The farmhouse design for this Saskatchewan property features a main floor with 1,480 square feet of livable space. In addition, the second floor includes 876 square feet of loft space, bringing the total livable space to 2,307 square feet.
Spacious Interiors
The main entry on the first floor is located on the side of the house. This arrangement is due to the property being a long and narrow lot that is naturally sheltered by surrounding trees.
The house includes a master suite with a walk-in closet a spacious bathroom, and an additional bedroom with its own walk-in closet. Next to the chef-style kitchen, there is a large walk-in pantry. The open layout of the home promotes an airy and comfortable atmosphere.

The residence also features a three-story central spiral staircase connecting the basement to the main floor and extending into the upper loft.

We utilize materials that enhance the home’s aesthetic appeal while ensuring long-term durability. Features such as reclaimed wood beams and energy-efficient windows demonstrate our commitment to sustainability. The exterior is finished with metal cladding for the walls and roof, complemented by cedar lap siding on the gable end walls.
