Ever since I know myself, the urban way of living was the only standard that could be applied to me. I mean, you can take the man out of the city, but you cannot take the city out of the man. Well, things started to change, as I grew older, even though I still love my city, I need more and more time out of it, as in any plentiful relationship, a little distance can do magic. So, if you feel like me, or even if you don’t, take a look at this 5 rural house designs from USA, who make you want to ditch city life for good.
1. Coming from a collaboration of spirited and innovative minds, this project embodies the versatility of simple living, far away from the noise, agitation and distress. Just look how the house and everything around are one.
When I first took a glance at the living room, it gave me a special feeling of warmth and calmness. Houses with an interior like this should be just exactly what the doctors order. The furniture is a fine selection, made in good taste and the view is spectacular.
2. Virginia is in itself a place filled with history, all time stamps making it look like the perfect place to lose yourself inside the bosom of mature nature.
There is this outdoor shower looking much like the house itself. What I find intriguing about this one is the water collecting feature, getting the water from the breezeway roof to the concrete wall. The frame is made out of Corten steel posts and the decking is made from ipe slats.
3. Simple and courageous. Looking like an observer, a point that should be on the compass of everyone passing by or living near. It’s an out of the normal way to express passing of time as a never ending, but squared cycle, marked with everything that makes life sweet and sour.
Look at the complexity of the inside. The depth in which the owner bathed the entire structure. It’s amazing what imagination can create. There is a silo ladder to the roof and the pieces of furniture are well established in the world of interior design, such as the Solo desk and chair or the pendant by Zettle’s Ingo Maurer.
4. Number four is a personal favorite of mine. It can be found in rural Utah, and what I love about it it’s the way it fights against the dying of the light. The whole ensemble is a tribute paid to those who lived before, paving our ways to the life we live today.
The grandeur of the shape of the mountain, crumbling at the feet of those two girls. It’s this what I want when I speak of leaving the city behind to pursuit a life in quiet form.
5. I think this model might seem pretty old to some of you. It is because you met it times before looking at the movies depicting US farmhouses, or living somewhat near one of those. But old doesn’t mean bad. This is a classic, no matter the angle you look at it.
What it actually represents is a modern take of the classic farmhouse, you can find it in Missouri, like they could find any other better place for it, right?
