Moon-Farm

MAINTENANCE FREE HOME BUILD

Structural Insulated Panels (SIP’s) for the exterior shell, the metal siding and steel panels are designed to balance with the character of the heat-modified wood siding via Vintage Woods out of Gypsum, Colorado.

Inspired by a major portion of her childhood spent on her grandparents’ farm and the majestic rolling landscape of the property, the term moon farm describes a raw inspiration with endless potential. An artist at heart, the homeowner had never enjoyed a dedicated studio space for painting and the creative process that has been part of her life.

Situated on 120 acres and over a ½ mile from the road, this property has unlimited views in all directions, with the artist studio overlooking the prairie and mountains and an in-home office with views to the south that allows the husband to run his consultation business from home and keeps the family grounded on the property year-round. The cantilevered view deck is the perfect spot to view the Colorado mountains to the west or watch summer storms forming to the north, making their way across northern Colorado.

A true maintenance-free home built via Structural Insulated Panels (SIP’s) for the exterior shell, the metal siding and steel panels are designed to balance with the character of the heat-modified wood siding via Vintage Woods out of Gypsum, Colorado.

Steel is the motif for the home with exposed structural steel at the exterior cantilever, steel stairs & screens to the artist studio lookout tower, steel clad front door via Pin & Scroll woodworking, fireplace surround, and kitchen island & wine bar panels to give the home a contemporary balance of warmth hovering between industrial and modern, but inviting and cozy, with stained white oak floors, slick wall gypsum finishes, wallpaper accents and built-ins for plenty of storage.
