Farmhouse with Wrap Around Porch

These days we have been getting a lot of inquiries about building homes in the country.  35 years ago a friend of mine and I renovated a large “One Room Schoolhouse” in the country into a 2 bedroom weekend home.  It would be an understatement to say that that renovation changed my life.  The schoolhouse was featured in a magazine and then a book and shortly afterward my practice as a ‘country architect’ began.  Later on, I met and married the daughter of the realtor who sold me the schoolhouse.  I have to say I have lived happily ever after.

Now I cannot make any guarantees that building or renovating a home in the country will make you happy, but I do guarantee that it will change your life and if you are like me and many of my clients, you might end up moving to the country for good.
