Missouri farm – combined modern and traditional to

Do not be fooled by the gable. This spacious home on 3 acres with many modern surprises Porch The house is perfect name for this house for a family of four people in the southwestern Missouri. Here enclosing a porch of four sides of the plane L-shaped But a look at the design that is created by Matthew Hufft of Hufft projects, shows that the porch is … not like a porch. Where are the pillars that support the roof? Where are the safeguards? The cantilevered roof and open sides reported that this house is a mixture of traditional and modern. We take a tour that manages a good balance between these two extremes, generally incompatible with a house. Home at a glance
Who lives here: Hannah and Paul Catlett and her 2 boys

This is interesting. Paul Catlett, and Matthew Hufft have been friends since they were 17 By far, the porch is not very important The gable, metal roof standing seam and large skylight attract the most attention. These items refer to farms in this part of the Ozarks, but in a minimalist style. The entrance is on the east side of the house and it is also the beginning of the wraparound porch. There is a small window next to the entrance, under the overhanging porch. Dormers seem to stretch to fill the sunlight. Now we are at the entrance, under the cover at the end of the stone steps of the aisle Later, we'll see the amount of light into the interior of the house, but first let's go to the house to see the rest of the porch. Another interesting aspect is in dormers Large fireplace works remarkably If we turn the corner towards the south, reaches the roof overhang of the large fireplace. The double doors give direct access to the dining room on the terrace. The southern part of the veranda serves as dining out A home is an extension of the rear chimney, which is also a method for storing firewood, under the roof. Eck steps provide access to the court. It should be noted that the porch is never more than 0.30 or 0.60 meters above the ground. This view shows the western end of the veranda This view is from the west end of the porch, which begins at the entrance to the other side of the house and goes into a form of P. The rectangular window is in the foreground in the master bathroom just behind is the master bedroom with views to the south. Part of the terrace is not covered Here Hufft added some wooden slats on the front glass walls to reduce direct sunlight into the house in the afternoon and early evening. As might be expected with the high pediment the interior is very open and bright Like the exterior, the interior of the house is very modern with shiny surfaces on walls and ceilings and minimal details. The oak parquet wood and some details (the peninsula in the kitchen here) add a little heat. From the kitchen, we are now searching the south side of the house and chimney In this element, we see another drop of traditional: instead of the chimney on the gable to be centered, it is centered on the area, which occupies the right half of the great room. (The dining room is on the left.) In addition, the stove is not in the middle of the brick chimney. The skylight provides plenty of light you need to light a large space We speak of the fireplace in the dining room and skylights looking face east. Barely visible from the bottom of the window and the window is a box of horizontal projection, which produce the same effect when the sun goes down. The two guys have skylights in their rooms Between their rooms is a shared bathroom, accessible from their rooms, but not in the hallway. As the skylights, they give the impression of a two-storey house Visible on the gable of the house we see in the first picture two square windows, one on the other. But as evidenced in the laundry room look, these windows serve only one piece. Considering how many laundries are hidden in basements or rooms without windows, it looks like a place where I would not just do the laundry! A corridor leads to the kitchen, bedroom and laundry room is in the garage (right), and ends in the master bedroom. Family photographs hanging height of the roof shaded by a cantilevered head on one side of the room, facing south-facing windows.
A glass door offers a view of the garden and direct access to the lanai. The master suite in the house The master suite is so far from the rest of the house, it is not only accessible through a door. A door leads to the bathroom more, but not otherwise. As the room is the bedroom in the south. A sliding door separates the bedroom and bathroom It is an index of more heat in the bright dining room. The great room is open to the back yard on the south side where the porch of the room darkens the summer to help it cool. Stores hide windows provide privacy when desired. The great room is open to the back yard on the south side
