Born out of a 100 acre dairy farm that has been in the same family for ten generations, Charbrook encompasses a mountainside farm, a home, and a plant nursery, and landscape design practice. DSK, in partnership with its client, designed a new barn and home for the property, integrating into the design the language of raw materiality found in the stone, wood, and metal that has been part of the landscape for generations.
The design of the house and barn reflect a respect for the rural context and deep history, while enabling a seamless integration of home, farm, and design practice. The design of the home emphasizes the natural beauty surrounding it with a simple, elegant structure and openings that encourage a life spent outside and in.
