— BDAWA Jurors Report

Whitewashed walls, steep gables and vine covered pergolas are all part of the farmhouse vernacular that are reflected in this design.

Dense landscaping reminiscent of the South African bush offsets the rigid geometry of the architectural forms.

This thoughtfully designed home embraces farmhouse vernacular while redefining tradition with a contemporary edge.
