This second-story addition by Bradford & Kent transforms a modest single-story home into a two-story residence with Craftsman-inspired detailing. Paired front gables feature shingle accents above horizontal siding, while substantial white trim defines the windows and rooflines. The upper level coordinates with the brick exterior below, and a broad covered porch provides a welcoming entrance. Shutters, divided-light windows, and established landscaping complete the facade. The inset before photo highlights the change in the home’s scale and architectural character.

This modern farmhouse located outside of Spokane, Washington, creates a prominent focal point among the landscape of rolling plains. The composition of the home is dominated by three steep gable rooflines linked together by a central spine. This unique design evokes a sense of expansion and contraction from one space to the next. Vertical cedar siding, poured concrete, and zinc gray metal elements clad the modern farmhouse, which, combined with a shop that has the aesthetic of a weathered barn, creates a sense of modernity that remains rooted to the surrounding environment. The Glo double pane A5 Series windows and doors were selected for the project because of their sleek, modern aesthetic and advanced thermal technology over traditional aluminum windows. High performance spacers, low iron glass, larger continuous thermal breaks, and multiple air seals allows the A5 Series to deliver high performance values and cost effective durability while remaining a sophisticated and stylish design choice. Strategically placed operable windows paired with large expanses of fixed picture windows provide natural ventilation and a visual connection to the outdoors.
