This small but comfortable Modern House is for a small and practical family. It is the perfect layout for a vacation house at the lake for them.

On the front, two gables frame the Main entrance. We also added french doors with sidelights crowned with transoms. Also, to add definition and a modern flair, we placed a hanging pergola covering the front porch.

The Great Room opens to the Covered Patio through gorgeous french doors that allow us to connect the indoor and outdoor spaces. That space is large enough to accommodate furniture options. We also have an outdoor sitting bar area with a pass-through window from the kitchen.

We went with black standing metal boards for the exterior walls. The framing for doors and windows is black, and the casings. The roof is also black metal-covered. All that metal serves to accomplish the Contemporary Farmhouse aesthetic we foresaw from the beginning.
