MODERN FARMHOUSE DESIGN & TRANSITIONAL HOUSE PLANS
Transitional House Design is the result of combining traditional building forms with minimalist, modern-style architectural elements, materials and fixtures.
In Transitional Home Design, conventional gabled roof house forms are accentuated with large window glass, expansive sliding doors, and new high-quality, durable finish materials.
A strong emphasis on the connection between the home's interior and the outdoors is characteristic in Transitional Home Design.
The appeal of Transitional Architecture comes from its combination of familiarity and tradition with elements of novelty, surprise and delight that contribute to an emotive experience of home.
Because Transitional House Architecture introduces elements of modern home design into traditional architectural forms, this style is very well suited for projects that plan for renovation, extension or addition to an existing building designed in a conventional architectural form.

TRANSITIONAL HOUSE PLANS & MODERN FARMHOUSE INTERIORS - MUSKOKA
Because Transitional Home Designs live within the interplay between tradition and modernity, window openings to outdoor views can be made very large using cost-effective standard window forms such as casement, awning, fixed glass, and tilt-and-turn windows.
The windows need not run fully from floor-to-ceiling as in Modern architectural precedents but can still offer very tall and very wide glass areas.
Transitional Home Designs offers very nearly limitless freedom for architecture & design and can draw on the best of both worlds to create a unique synergy that best suits your lifestyle and character.
The Modern Farmhouse Design style is a specific form of Transitional home architecture that combines the characteristics commonly found in the vernacular architecture of homes built by pioneers in North America who set to work on their arrival to establish family homesteads, agricultural production and rural farming communities.
Timber frame structures, wood wall & ceiling paneling and wood flooring were common elements of the design of original family homestead farmhouses. These elements remain consistent with the Modern Farmhouse interior design style.
The Modern Farmhouse style brings modern and industrial interior design influences into the traditional architectural form of family homestead farmhouses.
Modern materials, windows and fixtures bring the convenience and style of contemporary and cutting-edge architecture & interior design to Modern Farmhouse Designs that begin with a comforting, familiar feel based in their traditional architectural form.
