modern farmhouse - Aurora

With Modern Farmhouse, our goal was to marry the charm of traditional design with the clean sophistication of modern finishes—years before this now-iconic style reached mainstream popularity. Working closely with Otero Signature Homes and local artisans, we curated every detail with intent: exposed rafter beams to bring warmth, interlaced marble for contrast, and ceiling treatments to give each space its own identity within the open floor plan. Custom furnishings and statement lighting added personality without overpowering, while hardworking areas like the mudroom and pantry were elevated through high-touch finishes and thoughtful storage. This project exemplifies our approach at Ovation—designing ahead of trend, rooted in family values, and executed with precision from foundation to final styling.

our approach

Modern Farmhouse wasn’t just a home—it was a moment. Built as a showcase model for the 2017 Homearama, this 6,600-square-foot residence welcomed over 20,000 visitors and earned “Best of Show” for its forward-thinking take on the then-emerging farmhouse aesthetic. Designed with family living in mind, the floor plan balances open-concept flow with thoughtfully defined spaces—crafted for everything from homework at the built-in loft to large-scale entertaining on the indoor/outdoor covered porch. Five bedrooms, a custom craft room, nana doors that open to the outdoor living space, and a spa-like primary suite make this home as functional as it is inspiring. Today, it lives on as a beloved family home—and a nationally recognized design statement, even updated some verbiage here to include the commercial.
