Primrose Farmstead

11/30/2022

This home was designed for recent retirees who relocated from Tennessee to be closer to their children in the Madison area.  The site is a former farmstead in the Town of Primrose.  The original home and barn had been torn down when my clients bought the property, but some stone retaining walls and a silo remain as evidence of the site's former life.   

The new home is designed with vaulted ceilings in most of the rooms; large window  and door groupings  on the south and west overlook views of the fields and neighboring wetland.  The sitting area, dining area and kitchen are combined in one large space with an asymmetrical vaulted ceiling.  The sitting area is at the south end of the home, with the best views.  The dining area is adjacent to a screen porch which can also be accessed from the primary bedroom.  

The design includes a continuous "light deck" that runs at a height of 8' above the floor on the north and east sides of the room.  A wood trim band on the outside face of the light deck hadn't yet been installed when I took these photos.  It will provide contrast to give the light deck a visual punch.

The general contractor for this home was Meier Construction of Barneveld, Wisconsin.

The bedrooms and bathrooms are also on the main level and have vaulted ceilings as well.  For privacy, they are separated from the public spaces by the basement stair and the entry foyer, which serves as a link between the public and private wings of the house.  The primary bedroom has its own hallway for extra privacy.
