With any ambitious house design project, there are usually highs and lows in almost equal measure. For this new-build modern farmhouse on a vast plot, however, the high points are what will endure for everyone involved. For the homeowners, architects, contractors, and interior designer Adam Hunter, who saw the 383-acre estate evolve from plan to completion, it was the realization of a dream home.
'This project presented an exciting challenge: reimagining rustic design by blending its raw, textured qualities with industrial elements, without losing the warmth and inviting nature of the space,' says Adam. 'The goal was to refine traditional rustic aesthetics, incorporating sleek metallic touches that added depth and modernity while maintaining a cohesive, welcoming feel. Through thoughtful material choices, layered textures, and strategic contrasts, I was able to achieve a balance that feels both innovative and true to the essence of rustic charm.
