The team of architects did an excellent job to renovate an old farmhouse into a smart, sleek and attractive alternative. The house is almost unrecognisable! It went from unsightly, to modern and eye-catching. The façade changed completely, but so did the roof. Gone are the gabled walls and hidden exterior, making way for a breezy and open design that welcomes fresh air and sunshine. The colour scheme is different and dynamic with a blue design adding a fascinating feature.

​ 3. Before: Quaint farmhouse

Old farms have their own charm, this facebrick facade and the red saddle roof radiates something cosy and quaint, but in order to convert this house dramatically from its simple before to gorgeous after, requires some imagination and creativity.

After: Ultimate modern

To renovate this farmhouse, the red roof went a few shades darker, while walls were given a lighter shade for a contemporary design, and in order to connect the two structures, a wood-clad hallway leads the way, creating a space that is seamlessly connected, comfortable and courageous.

4. Before: Barren exterior
