Associating a farmhouse with rustic style is a natural though, but homely isn't exactly how you would describe the Hupomone Ranch. Certainly satisfying as a comfortable and intimate environment for the family that lives within it, the homestead embodies a contemporary allure that transcends country charm.
Turnbull Griffin Haesloop Architects are the creators of this rural masterpiece, managing to integrate a perfectly pastoral structure with the freshest of trimmings. Inside and out, the LEED-certified house has been whitewashed with bright paint, expressing a lovely purity and cleanliness of spirit.
Every aspect of the Hupomone Ranch's design was intended to represent the people within it: a family that enjoys sharing open spaces, that admires nature and that pledges to employ green and sustainable methods of farming.
