Christopher Simmonds ArchitectThe client’s brief was to create a space reminiscent of their beloved downtown Chicago industrial loft, in a rural farm setting, while incorporating their unique collection of vintage and architectural salvage. The result is a custom designed space that blends life on the farm with an industrial sensibility.
The new house is located on approximately the same footprint as the original farm house on the property. Barely visible from the road due to the protection of conifer trees and a long driveway, the house sits on the edge of a field with views of the neighbouring 60 acre farm and creek that runs along the length of the property.
The main level open living space is conceived as a transparent social hub for viewing the landscape. Large sliding glass doors create strong visual connections with an adjacent barn on one end and a mature black walnut tree on the other.
The house is situated to optimize views, while at the same time protecting occupants from blazing summer sun and stiff winter winds. The wall to wall sliding doors on the south side of the main living space provide expansive views to the creek, and allow for breezes to flow throughout. The wrap around aluminum louvered sun shade tempers the sun.
The subdued exterior material palette is defined by horizontal wood siding, standing seam metal roofing and large format polished concrete blocks.
The interiors were driven by the owners’ desire to have a home that would properly feature their unique vintage collection, and yet have a modern open layout. Polished concrete floors and steel beams on the main level set the industrial tone and are paired with a stainless steel island counter top, backsplash and industrial range hood in the kitchen. An old drinking fountain is built-in to the mudroom millwork, carefully restored bi-parting doors frame the library entrance, and a vibrant antique stained glass panel is set into the foyer wall allowing diffused coloured light to spill into the hallway. Upstairs, refurbished claw foot tubs are situated to view the landscape.
The double height library with mezzanine serves as a prominent feature and quiet retreat for the residents. The white oak millwork exquisitely displays the homeowners’ vast collection of books and manuscripts. The material palette is complemented by steel counter tops, stainless steel ladder hardware and matte black metal mezzanine guards. The stairs carry the same language, with white oak open risers and stainless steel woven wire mesh panels set into a matte black steel frame.
The overall effect is a truly sublime blend of an industrial modern aesthetic punctuated by personal elements of the owners’ storied life.

Shah Nawaz ArchitectsModern Elevation & Front Facade | 5 Marla Residence, Faisal Hills
This striking front elevation redefines contemporary luxury for compact residential plots. Designed for a 5 Marla footprint in Faisal Hills, Taxila, the facade relies on bold geometric masses, premium material interplay, and a masterful architectural lighting scheme to establish a commanding, high-end street presence. As showcases in the project file mfh5m a.tif, every square inch of the exterior is engineered to maximize visual impact and perceived scale.
Design Highlights:
Monolithic Material Contrast: The facade utilizes a sophisticated palette of large-format textured cladding tiles. Deep, dramatic charcoal-gray stone-finish porcelain tiles create a stark, luxurious contrast against pristine light-gray porcelain surfaces and crisp white concrete lines.
Massive Structural Glazing: A double-height glass curtain wall dramatically opens up the right wing of the residence, framing the beautifully detailed false ceilings of both the ground floor and the upper level. This element floods the interior with natural light by day and acts as a glowing lantern by night.
Integrated Architectural Lighting: The exterior design is heavily defined by vertical and framing LED profile light strips. These linear warm lights run flush with the main architectural boundaries, accentuating the building’s heights, emphasizing its clean geometry, and making the boundary wall look like an extension of the main structure.
Cantilevered Floating Terrace: A deeply recessed, cantilevered first-floor balcony creates an elegant framing box for the master bedroom. It features large sliding glass doors, sleek planter cutouts, and a rooftop parapet prepared for cascading greenery, adding an organic softness to the modern lines.
Minimalist Entrance Gate: A sharp, matte-black vertical louvers iron gate secures the property while maintaining the home's uncompromisingly clean, contemporary architectural language.
