Design with Frank

The concept for the Serenbe Farm Residence's early design phase focused on the abstract, dividing the project into three structures that symbolize the stages of a day in life. The design process, rooted in creating abstract wood models, brought me back to my school days in the woodshop, sparking a deep appreciation for the tactile and exploratory nature of early design.

The Rest Building: This structure houses a full suite designed as a private retreat for rest and rejuvenation.

The Gathering Building: This space is centered on gathering and connection, with a formal dining area that coexists with the home’s entry, creating a welcoming atmosphere for shared meals and socializing.

The Living Building: Filled with expansive glazing to embrace natural light, this structure is dedicated to daytime activities. It features a kitchen with an eat-in breakfast nook, a cozy living room anchored by a central fireplace, and an inviting layout that fosters relaxation and interaction.

One of the most exciting moments of 2024 was working with Kenny to bring this beautiful Shaker residence to life! After nearly two years of hard work, it’s amazing to see the house taking shape with all the final finishes coming together.

Kenny has poured so much craftsmanship into the siding and details, and we’ve exchanged endless texts and calls to make this dream a reality! 😂

Can’t wait for the owners to move in this spring—time to tackle that final punch list. Let’s finish strong! 💪
