Farmhouse Style Homes – Modern Rustic Home Addition Farmhouse style homes have a warm, understated appeal, but this is one wooden house addition that takes center stage! Designed by award-winning, Belgium-based firm Wim Goes Architectuur, this Flemish countryside home in the city of Gent, surrounded by blankets of green grass and lush gardens, fittingly has a weathered wood extension that adds to the rustic house style. An exterior of naturally graying wood encloses a living area that extends onto an outdoor patio, creating an outdoor living room. Walls of glass offer 360 degrees of views, while beyond the functioning floor-to-ceiling glass doors is a pond – the perfect, peaceful setting for quiet contemplation or an evening of entertaining guests in style. And for either activity, the underground wine cellar will certainly enhance that experience. Inspired by Japanese house design with influences of Finnish architects, the feel of this farmhouse is simplicity, serenity and nature.

Archigram’s Rolling City achieved? The construction of each hut is simple. It is, in essence, an offset, steel clad box on a steel and wood platform. Living occurs not only in the 200 sq ft inside the box, but on the 240 sq ft of covered deck space surrounding it. Interior finishes – cork and plywood – are simple, inexpensive, and left as raw as possible. Exteriors are durable, no-maintenance materials – steel, plywood and car-decking. The huts are grouped as a herd.

The project derives its romantic name (Silver Park Quay) from its location: the office cluster on the Zilverparkkade in Lelystad. West 8 designed the urban plan for the area in conformity with the current trend for condensed city-centres. With an idyllic wink to the 17th century Dutch canal-houses the offices are lined up shoulder to shoulder on narrow plots. In such a compact row with a strict layout the only elements to create a discriminating identity are the facades.
