No. 46 Backyards · Modern Farmhouse
Sunken Gravel Fire Pit with Wooden Bench
A sunken gravel terrace features a stone fire pit and wooden bench beside a modern farmhouse with white board-and-batten siding, black windows, stone steps, lawn, and a dark metal roof.
Design notes
Modern farmhouse design keeps things honest: white board-and-batten or painted brick, black-framed windows and doors, standing-seam metal roofs, cedar posts and beams. Outside, that means gravel and bluestone rather than fancy paving, a big lawn, raised beds, a porch or pavilion with a fan, and simple furniture in black or natural wood. Lighting is gooseneck barn lights and warm string lights, never anything glossy.
What to look for
- How the space is zoned — dining, lounging, lawn, planting
- Sightlines from the back door to the furthest feature
- Layers of privacy: canopy, screening, structure
