Creating a bright, connected farmhouse retreat doesn't always require building an addition. Through thoughtful design-build planning, this whole-home remodel transformed a dark, compartmentalized ranch-style farmhouse into an open, light-filled gathering space that better reflects the beauty of the surrounding property. At the heart of the renovation was a complete reimagining of the home's central living areas. By removing a massive stone fireplace and several space-dividing walls, we created uninterrupted sightlines that extend through the home and out to the rural landscape beyond. Natural light now flows freely throughout the interior, while carefully selected finishes draw inspiration from the farm itself, from soft blue cabinetry that echoes the sky to warm wood tones reminiscent of weathered barns. The success of this project stemmed from strategic space planning and creative problem-solving. The redesigned kitchen features panel-ready refrigeration integrated into the island, preserving valuable wall space while maintaining a clean, cohesive aesthetic. A custom walk-in pantry was enhanced with a repurposed barn door discovered on the property, blending modern functionality with the home's original character. Nearby, a hardworking mudroom combines laundry facilities with dedicated pet-washing and feeding stations designed for the homeowners' three dogs. Throughout the home, original character was thoughtfully preserved while introducing modern comfort. A cozy den was refreshed around the existing stone fireplace, while a new living room fireplace creates a striking focal point. In the primary bathroom, the removal of a challenging sunken tub allowed for a curbless shower and a tranquil retreat centered around a freestanding soaking tub beneath the skylight. What makes this renovation especially meaningful is how it honors the farmhouse's history while adapting it for the way the homeowners live today. By prioritizing connection, natural light, and functionality, we delivered a whole-home transformation that remains true to the property's rural roots while creating a timeless space designed for gathering, everyday living, and aging in place.

This secluded single-family home in Great Falls, had a beautiful backyard setting. The owners recently built a gorgeous pool and surround deck on the right side of the house in their backyard. They inherited a rundown deck off of the kitchen patio doors. Our team designed a two-story outdoor living addition which offers the family everything that they can hope for in outdoor living. Our massive plan required excavation to make the lower level patio both attractive and functional for all kinds of outdoor activity. We excavated down two feet to create a nine-foot high patio, cut concrete walls to add French doors from to dark and unused side of the basement bringing improved use for the basement. The entire back wall was covered with matching brick veneer to entire front and side elevations. The roof of this patio was covered with EPDM roofing rolls to make the lower patio stay dry and protected. Steps away from pool sun deck, this flagstone covered patio turned into a prime space for entertainment. The built-in middle bar equipped with under counter beverage fridge and beer tab to make gatherings more exciting. The side steps built in with matching solid stone threads offered access to driveway and the second floor covered porch. The second floor is finished with porcelain floor tiles, stain grade ceiling panels, wrought iron rails, decorative recessed panel columns, hanging gorgeous ceiling fans steps away from the kitchen. Just outside of this covered porch, there is a deck with the same tile floor facing the pool area offering a breath taking view. Carefully selection of soft toned wood looking plank porcelain tiles compliment the knotty soft grey stain ceiling panels making this project one that shines even on rainy days. The custom-made spiral rod iron staircase offers an elegant second set of steps so that the upper level deck can reach into backyard and pool deck.
