No. 81 Fire & Spa · Modern Farmhouse
Sunken Stone Fire Pit with Built-in Benches
Beside a modern farmhouse with white board-and-batten siding, black windows, and a metal roof, bluestone steps descend to a sunken stone fire pit surrounded by built-in benches, gravel, and white hydrangeas.
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
- Conversation-distance seating all the way around
- Setback from structures, fences and branches
- A dry, lit path back to the house
