How an Architect Designed a Home for His Family Inspired by the Simplicity of Traditional Farmhouses

- This House Story explores an architect's thoughtful process of converting a blank canvas into a warm, intimate dwelling, resonating with the charm of farmhouse simplicity.
Beginning with a vision, the homeowners crafted a story around the origins of the house-a tale of growth, expansion, and timeless integration with the picturesque landscape. The home was designed to foster family connection, while also providing a retreat for those occasional empty-nest moments where the house seems to shrink into an intimate, cozy space.
The blend of materials were chosen not just for aesthetics but also to embrace wear, and to tell a story. From concrete floors resilient to the test of time to cedar intentionally left to patina, every scratch and mark narrates a chapter of the family's journey.
The homeowners share the serendipitous discovery of the property as well as the challenges and triumphs of constructing a famly home bound by a modest budget.

This is what TRUE DESIGN is: You don't pay attention to any "design strategies" shouting at you here and there. You just simply enjoy the space and the landscape surround you.
i love the house I live in ( thats my mum and step dad)
I just love the couple! the house is also great.
A good house is never really "done". I love this one! Regards from Indiana!
I enjoy seeing a young couple with discipline and desire to build a wonderful home on such lovely terrain.
Beautiful and smart design on a budget--their budget! I love how the couple flows so well together, too.
The thought towards minimizing the little peoples rooms is such a novel and genius move!
It is but it looks like they are still 3x3 m rooms from the floorplan. That's a standard bedroom size in most other western countries. 2x3m would be small.
I met the owner of a Frank Lloyd Wright house built with the same idea. FLW didn't just design the house; he designed the way he wanted people to live in them.
It's a great idea and a big departure from the McMansion style of giving each kid a 250sf room.
Every design is special for the people who build it,yet it is a different kind of home,coming out of a barn design,the double building is a great idea for everybody’s privacy ,use of space and economy thinking ,love the whole place,many happy future memories for the young couple !
An incredibly beautiful way to live, plan, and do life!
Wonderfully designed house,,loved the entire landscape of that area,,full of sunshine 😊
You chose the perfect time of day (and date) to get such a beautiful painterly quality of light to promote this house. The still image of the link in this video looks like a house that belongs in an Edward Hopper painting. As the camera panned up over the grass I couldn’t help thinking of Andrew Wyeth’s famous work- “Christina’s World,” the painting of the girl lying in a grassy field. Beautiful house
ABSOLUTELY..............BEAUTIFUL...............!!!
I love all the natural light...
Awesome story and home, Jonny. Well done guys, and Suvi. Love from us.
WE NEED MORE CONTENT!!!
The house is livable (!). Everything about this project is so simple, yet beautiful.
Such a nice intimate look into their home, and it never felt intrusive. Nice eye catching all those little detail shots in there also!
What a cozy home. I love the layout.
Beautiful. Amazing natural light and the lot is so peaceful. I love the real life stages that most of us have to roll with. Someday there will be cabinets in my laundry room. 😆
It's funny to see how people see this design as "special", while every other home in north of Europe looks exactly like that (nothing wrong with that either way, just saying). In Poland we call this style "Modern Barn", and super popular recently, I'm building a similar one, though with Black wood.
Beautiful house. I'm shocked at how inexpensively they were able to build it
One of the best houses i have seen in a while and what a location
Such a beautiful house in a lovely setting ❤
Wonderful house, hope our new build looks this good! Very well spoken people too
Beautiful inside and out!
I love the peaceful vibe the house and property gives off. Well done!
Really Loving This From The Caribbean 🇻🇨🙌
The “LIKE”👍🏻 is for your photographer
It's a simply beautiful house.
Best one yet IMHO
Beautiful house and love the way it was filmed!
This is stunning. i thought it was in NZ due to the landscape. Very inspirational!
Exceptional work.
Amazing job yet again
Beautiful home, really, really, really, really, irritating background music until 5:23 🤦♂️
Really nice….sweet
A dream farmhouse.😍
That view!!! 😳
Beautiful home and location
Beautiful home, congratulations :)
It’s beautiful
Super house, super people 😀
Lovely!
Wow. Very nice....
Not sure if its been asked or not but how much square footage did this turn out to be? Thank you!
Love the simplicity of design - well done Jonny. You mentioned it was built on a tight budget of $150/ft2. What year was the home built please - thank you
Hi Ian, their family was able to move in just prior to Covid-19, and they're appreciative they were able to construct the home before the price of building materials increased.
Can you provide the house size in terms of living space, etc. and a breakdown of their building costs at about $150 per sq.ft.?
Really cool, really)
Beyond amazing.
I love this house sooooo much, well done! Is the architect available for contact?
Hello, please reach out on our website and we can put you in contact with the architect.
What type of wood have you used on the outside?
I’d love to know what style home this is. It’s different than just a farmhouse style. Anyone know specifically?
Very Scandanavian modern.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
How can I get your contact Jonny and Megan? Need your expertise on Vancouver Island
geez, plant some trees out there already
What state is this located in
Alberta, Canada
Can you tell us the name of the architect? Thanks.
Jonny, the homeowner, is an architect and he designed the home.
That’s crazy cheap
Looks very European.
From the outside, in my own personal opinion, it looks flat, stark, box-like, and bleak.
I would be depressed living there.
Really banal modern architecture. No character.
That’s a little rough
Straight up hideous house.
That’s a little rough
