Rustic meets Scandi in this dreamy exterior by Synthesis Design.
While most farmhouse-modern homes embrace stark black-and-white palettes, this L-shaped West Vancouver property by Synthesis Design blends a rustic vibe with Scandi-inspired neutralsand we cant get enough.
The soft colour palette comes from the materials themselves. The homeowners werent interested in a lot of maintenance, explains Brad Ingram, senior design manager of Synthesis. So Ingram and the team mixed ceramic-coated, cementitious Wall Shell board (It has a bit of shine to it but is pretty much indestructible, he laughs) and wood-patterned, high-pressure laminate panelno stain required. It's a futuristic take on classic rural materials, but one that still looks oh-so natural and welcoming. Step up the staggered pathway through the concrete arch, and find a barn-like door to beckon you into a space that's just as beautiful on the inside.
