Contemporary Farmhouse-Style Homes

JBAD Builds a Modern Two Pitched-Roof Abode in Ohio

The contemporary farmhouse-style home in Columbus, Ohio is conceived by local studio Jonathan Barnes Architecture and Design (JBAD). The building takes cues from the modern understanding of aesthetic, while the framework openly references "farm structures common to the area at the time of its first settlement in the early 19th century."

The sizable residence and its impeccable arrangement offer a welcoming space for a single family. The exterior of the contemporary farmhouse-style home is surrounded by lush greenery that compliments the charred timber cladding that covers the exterior. Similarly, the roof boasts slate shingles as the architectural firm chooses materials that are "simple and honest." In addition, JBAD installs beautiful floor-to-ceiling windows that allow an uninterrupted flow of light and calming vistas of the forest.
