R1200ag – Modern Farmhouse
​Project Data:  1,200 SF (2-Bedroom,  2-Bath, 2-story plus Basement, 2-car  Garage)

Designed as a simple rectangle in plan, this Modern Farmhouse is cost-effective to build. The 1st floor Great Room has large south-facing windows and a 9' tall ceiling to make the room feel more spacious. The Guest Suite is located in the basement for added privacy and includes an oversized south-facing window well for more daylight. Like a traditional farmhouse, the front porch and screen porch create spaces to enjoy outdoor living.

This design promotes an environmentally sustainable and healthy structure and is affordable to maintain as the building ages. Some of the features are as follows:
  • The living spaces are oriented around a southern exposure for optimum solar access and natural daylight all day long.
  • The building shell is super insulated and uses a traditional 2x6 framing wall with 4" of external rigid insulation.
  • The extra insulation combined with a smaller building size means that the house will use less energy to heat and cool.
  • Durable, low-maintenance fiber cement or exterior grade wood and metal for the exterior finishes reduce long term maintenance costs.
  • The roofline is at a 45° angle and has sufficient space for solar panels.
  • Interior materials are specified to be low or no VOC to provide healthy indoor air quality.
  • The 1st floor has a concrete topping to retain heat in winter.
  • All south-facing windows have either a canopy or roof overhang to prevent overheating in the summer.
