The Bold Charm of the Martin Residence

Our watercolor series begins with a barndominium-style home designed for gathering and making memories.

The Martin Residence blends rustic charm and modern sophistication in a striking barndominium-inspired design. Its crisp white board-and-batten siding is beautifully contrasted by rich natural stonework, heavy timber trusses, and warm barnwood accents, creating a timeless yet contemporary aesthetic. A dramatic gabled entry welcomes you home, while a black metal roof and carriage-style garage doors lend an industrial edge. Expansive windows and lush landscaping complete the setting, making this home as inviting as it is impressive.

Step inside and discover a floor plan designed for both everyday living and grand entertaining. The main level centers around a spacious great room with a soaring two-story ceiling and a stunning double-sided fireplace. A large master suite offers a private retreat with a spa-like bath and generous walk-in closet, while the expansive kitchen features a 7-seat island, a roomy dining area, and a butler’s pantry to keep everything organized. A big indoor gym, three-car garage, and a well-appointed laundry room round out the practical yet stylish main floor.

Upstairs, four bedrooms—each with its own walk-in closet—share two Jack-and-Jill baths. A game room and a loft overlooking the great room below provide even more space for family, fun, and relaxation. Every detail of the Martin Residence is designed to bring people together while still giving everyone room to breathe, making it a perfect blend of rugged materials, elegant proportions, and functional comfort.

Every home has its own story — and this one is just the beginning. Over the next few days, we’ll be sharing more of our favorite homes from this series: each with its own style, charm, and story to tell. From bold barndominiums to cozy farmhouses and modern retreats, you’ll see how watercolor renderings bring them all to life — softening the lines, highlighting the details, and helping their future owners see not just a house, but a home.

And now it’s your turn! We want you to feel that same excitement of seeing your dream home beautifully painted before it’s even built. When you sign up and start your project with us, we’ll gift you a free watercolor rendering of your home design — no strings attached.
