This elegant urban farmhouse home was designed by Tim Barber Architects, located in Venice, a neighborhood of the city of Los Angeles, California. Renowned for its carefree spirit and eclecticism, Venice proved the perfect place for a young creative couple to build an untraditional forever home.

They wanted a refined but unpretentious house to grow in with their family, a request that was translated into a practical, durable, spacious, comfortable, and effortlessly elegant urban farmhouse. In a nod to the neighborhood’s bohemian vibe, the project team used a unique combination of simple materials like steel and glass partitions, reclaimed timber beams, distressed wood cabinets, concrete and whitewashed shiplap to distinguish each room in the open floorplan.

Outside, the architects dressed familiar agrarian shapes in traditional materials like wood, corrugated steel, standing seam roofs, and hog wire, all unconventionally arranged to add whimsy and modernity to this tradition-informed design.

What We Love: This urban farmhouse offers a light and airy floorplan layout with stylish living spaces. Whitewashed shiplap walls help to keep this home feeling open and spacious. Wood flooring throughout the main living spaces, along with rustic wood beams on the ceiling help to infuse warmth. We are especially loving the kitchen, with its custom metal hood and beautiful wood-topped island.
