Black & White

This modern farmhouse design in Oakville seamlessly blends the warmth of traditional architecture with the clean simplicity of contemporary living. Rooted in classic farmhouse massing, the home is reimagined through a modern lens, enriched by refined detailing and thoughtful proportions. As a custom home designer specializing in modern farmhouse architectural design, our goal was to create a home that feels fresh, timeless, and deeply connected to its surroundings.

Large expanses of glass framed with classic pane patterns highlight the home’s farmhouse heritage while reinforcing its modern identity. The high-contrast façade—combining soft, light board-and-batten siding with bold black trim and crisp geometric elements—embodies the essence of modern farmhouse architecture, balancing rustic charm with contemporary sophistication.

The backyard continues this dialogue between old and new. A light wood structure with a welcoming covered porch and generous outdoor living area brings warmth and softness, while a strong concrete hardscape introduces a more modern, grounded counterpoint. Together, these elements create an outdoor environment that perfectly reflects the spirit of modern farmhouse design: airy, inviting, and elegantly composed.

Ultimately, this Oakville residence stands as a refined example of how thoughtful custom home design and intentional architectural design can elevate the modern farmhouse style, creating a cohesive and captivating home that brings the best of both worlds together.
