What makes a home feel timeless? According to Lindsay Ewing, founder of Ecraft Homes, it’s about honoring history—even in a brand-new build.
“Farmhouse style lends well to history,” says Ewing. “I’ve lived on farms, and I was really interested in the take on, not a modern farmhouse, but one that was made modern.”
That’s exactly what Lindsay and the Ecraft design-build team accomplished with this stunning project, recently featured in American Farmhouse Style magazine. Instead of creating a trendy “modern farmhouse,” they designed a home that feels as though it has evolved over time—layered with stories, character, and a sense of place.
The Story Behind the Design
The vision was simple yet ambitious: a brand-new farmhouse that feels like it’s been loved for generations. To achieve this, Ecraft blended architectural details that echo the past—like gabled rooflines and authentic millwork—with today’s modern luxuries.
Vintage furniture and curated art from the homeowner add even more soul, giving the space a collected-over-time feel. The result? A home that strikes the perfect balance of old and new: classic farmhouse warmth with fresh, livable design.
Why Modern Farmhouse Works Here
Farmhouse design has deep roots in Southern living. In North Atlanta, Georgia, where history and modernity intertwine, this style feels right at home. By embracing natural materials, layered textures, and an open layout, this project pays homage to tradition while embracing the way families live today.
