1. Sophisticated Entry
This elegant home by Design DCA in Houston features many of the architectural elements that make modern farmhouses so beloved, including a gabled roofline, braces and a shed dormer. Modern wall texturing, streamlined details and bold color contrasts add a sophisticated twist.
The garage features prominently in this design, its dark wood door and glowing landscape lighting making a design statement. Instead of the typical asphalt or poured concrete, the designers used concrete pavers for the driveway and path; the pavers better integrate these areas into the landscape and allow water to drain directly into the soil.
