Modern Balance

This Vermont home gives the word contemporary some warmth with its take on the classic farmhouse. The cable porch railing and metal roof stick to the hallmarks of modern design while natural materials, like wood beams, echo the landscape of the surrounding hills. Concrete patio accents give the farmhouse a refined look while outdoor furnishings retain the home’s lived-in feel.

“We wanted a house that was modern but had the shape of rustic; one that would blend in with the landscape and the other homes in the area.” –homeowner Eduardo Rovetto
