Client Type

Charcoal was designed for a family seeking a spacious, modern farmhouse that prioritizes both comfort and privacy. The clients desired a home that offers ample room for family life, entertaining, and quiet retreat, all within a beautifully cohesive design.

Project Scope

The scope of the Charcoal project included a complete architectural design package emphasizing thoughtful spatial planning, indoor-outdoor connectivity, and a bold, modern farmhouse aesthetic. Key features of the home include:
