A farmhouse that feels like a five-star hotel—with animals running around—that was the brief.

The first time we met our clients (now family friends), we were standing on top of a hill with nothing but an empty site around us. What we did have, though, was a full 360-degree view of the ocean and farmland, and it was/is spectacular. Building this farmhouse was no small feat, with plenty of challenges from the location to the site itself. But with every challenge, the project only got more rewarding. Now, to visit this farmhouse and see it being used exactly as our clients envisioned? Pretty bloody good.
