Home. Hearth. Family. No other style of architecture evokes the emotion of the Farmhouse architectural style. Known for simplicity of design and a reliance on function, the Farmhouse at its heart is cozy, practical and down to earth. Gabled roofs and exteriors of lap or board and batten siding are the at this center of this wonderful style. This style has always been popular and today more so than ever. Front porches are among the most prominent features on a farmhouse. Sometimes these porches feature a square or round column or a simple railing. Large single or double windows allow for lots of light inside. While historically a more cut up floor plan, today’s versions combine Kitchen Dining and Living areas to accommodate family togetherness. Large Utility areas or Mud Rooms allow drop zones and storage for all today’s necessities. These homes are made of sturdy materials inside and out. Wood, wrought iron railings and clean, minimal lines are mainstays in today’s farmhouse. Contact Larry Belk Designs by email or call 830-730-0246 for more information about our farmhouse plans.
