Of the many wonderful architectural styles that I enjoy
I think the modern farmhouse vernacular is by far my favorite
Architect Howard Backen
has designed dozens of residencies, wineries,
hospitality and retail buildings,
but the simple and appealing farmhouse aesthetic
is what he does so well

wonderful sight lines and clean landscape.

which include references to Scandinavian and French influences as well.

Nothing appears over done or excessive.

and each element seems to have a purpose
The inside to outside flow in his work is wonderful too!
His wife is a very talented interior designer in her own right and her work fits his design to a tee.
Always with an exterior vista in mind, he often includes over scaled openings.
Even if there is not an amazing view,
there will be a opportunity to enjoy the out of doors around each corner.
He and the partners in his firm call this
"transparency"
In 2012 Mr Backen opened his first restaurant
in the landmark Vanderbilt building in Santa Helena,
locating his offices in the rear...how convenient right!!
in the landmark Vanderbilt building in Santa Helena,
locating his offices in the rear...how convenient right!!
The restaurant is called French Blue,
referring to the antique blue doors that have graced the front of the building
for over 50 years
Although he has designed many restaurants,
this is the first that he actually owns
here is the menu
it looks pretty tasty
and not all that pricey either
A few of the other restaurants he is associated with include
Go Fish in St Helena
and numerous Il Fornaio restaurants
throughout the United States
Mr Backens designs are perhaps the alter ego of much of what has been built in Napa,
known to many as the valley of excessive faux chateaus
and larger than life tuscan monsters.

and larger than life tuscan monsters.
His admiration for the American farmhouse lies in the honesty of the details,
the house as an element of the site
and the surrounding landscape.

Some of his work is more large scale
including the home of Gary Freidman CEO,
creator and curator of Restoration Hardware
and the much loved home of designer
Barbara Colvin Hoopes shown above

I wrote about Gary Freidmans house a while ago

Many of the wineries Howard Backen has designed are in the
modern Farmhouse vernacular as well
The Paul Hobbs Winery above suggests the cleanliness of surgical steel
with the down home thoughtfulness of the American barn

Most of the wineries have wonderful spots for large gatherings and tastings
intimate dinning rooms
and large airy locations
for
weddings and events
The use of the very humble but much loved front porch is really so fun to see
Hay bales for seating.... a great idea
but I'll take the side with the pillows

He designed Sundance Resort in Utah
Meadowood Resort in St Helena
Solage in Calistoga
His retail work includes defining former public buildings into large retail spaces with many varied areas for merchandising, including enclosed exterior spaces
and huge lofty ceiling heights
shown here in a Restoration Hardware location
But I think this is what defines his look
The simple farm house...although not as simple as it may appear
It is often what we think of as the true "American" home
Hope you enjoyed this tour!
Any thoughts on your favorite style of architecture?
Have a fun weekend
Beautiful. That's all I can say.

I loved the tour Kelley! Gorgeous and of course I love your comments. Always fun!
ReplyDeleteThis was SUCH a fun, fun post! Thanks so much! I ADORE Howard's work. Have you seen pictures or been to Ram's Gate in Sonoma? It's utterly amazing and so quintessential.
ReplyDeleteApparently, this is my favorite style too, since I've just pinned a half dozen pictures from this post. Wonderful post! laurie
ReplyDeleteDitto. Lots of pinning, much contemplation and many thanks for gathering and presenting in your inimitable style.
ReplyDeleteKelley,
ReplyDeleteI so enjoyed this post. Love the designs of the simple farmhouse look. You introduced me to two new restaraunts I will visit when going up to St. Helena again!! Thank you for all of this wonderful information. I pinned away, so much goodness here today,
Happy Saturday,
Kathysue

I thoroughly enjoyed the tour! Every photo was as good as the next.
ReplyDeleteLove this look, Kelley! Clean, open, airy, yet full of vintage charm! I'd definitely build a small farmhouse like the one in your 4th photo!!! Thanks for sharing these gorgeous pics!
ReplyDeletexoxo laurie
I stayed at Meadowwood years ago and fell in love with the look of the place. Now I know the genius behind the stunning design. It was beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSuch a great post Kelley! I love this style of architecture, and if I ever move, it will be to property where I can build a modern farmhouse!
ReplyDeletexo Kat
OMG -- an architect husband + designer wife?
ReplyDeleteThat's only my dream life!
We're re-doing a Dutch Colonial fixer upper as we speak, + this is the look I am attempting to achieve . . . on a (sadly) 'cheap cheap' budget!
Fingers crossed, though!
I'm blogging about it, here: redbirdv.wordpress.com
TY for all the inspiration, Kelley/a.k.a. Kay's role model!
Great post Kelly...love this style...one of my favorites!
ReplyDeleteGreat post. I will have to re-read it, it is full of such lovely images and info. Love this style too. I want to build a modern farmhouse now!
ReplyDeleteNot sure how I found your blog, but glad I did! I love this architecture. Thank you for sharing this architect with us.

Kelley
ReplyDeleteThis is one of my all time favorite posts and you have had some wonderful ones. If I could build again this is exactly what I would want. A proper home for my American Antiques. That third to the last photo is perfection in my book! Loved every minute of this post, have returned again and again and pinned nearly every photo!!
Pure eye candy! I am totally smitten with this style of house as of late. Thank you for sharing these pics!
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to say that I read your blog quite frequently and I’m always amazed at some of the stuff people post here. But keep up the good work, it’s always interesting. See ya,
