Farmhouse Renovation With The Vernacular Architecture Ideas

This farmhouse architecture designed by Robert MCain. in exterior and interior of the house using wooden materials. Wooden kitchen set, wooden ceilings, wooden floors, bedrooms, and almost in all part made of wooden materials. Only on a few walls using glass materials. This house still shows the vernacular style.

Description from Architects:

Utilizing materials salvaged from a house that was destroyed by General Sherman in 1865, this nearly-intact 1868 farmhouse and outbuildings required total renovations and the addition of nearly 1,200 sf for a kitchen, porches, gallery, utility rooms and bath to satisfy the needs of the owners. Remaining faithful to the vernacular style of the house was the thrust of the design for both renovations and additions. The addition was oriented east-west and used broad, deep overhangs, sheltered windows and operable clerestory and floor-level windows to minimize cooling and sustainably soften the effects of the intense summers of the southern coastal plain.

The scope of the project was to rehabilitate the existing house to modern living conditions without destroying its character, to demolish the considerably unsympathetic recent additions, and renovate an existing storage shed into a Tea House and guest room.
