Located on a prominent site on the main corridor running through the historic downtown this property was once home to the Beaufort Wharf, historically a great area of commerce. When developers purchased the existing building it was rundown. They approached Toma Farren architects to up-fit the interior and exterior, their goal was to bring the building back to the spirit of what it once was. Toma Farren helped brainstorm a new program for the building and rework the plan so that all circulation took place externally on the exterior porches, maximizing rentable square footage. The downstairs remains commercial space for local business, the second level is residential condos and the upper floor will be an event space with a rooftop bar. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600f1eb7c53cb83124bc288b/1614011366621-KLKJ6Q3IQKJ53SZV7K2V/Front+St-03.jpg 400 Front St https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600f1eb7c53cb83124bc288b/1614011408956-V5AU1B84H99Y1OF485RS/Front+St-04.jpg 400 Front St https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600f1eb7c53cb83124bc288b/1614961635118-4IG57WZXGI4F98MP5TYA/Front+St+TF-06.jpg 400 Front St https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600f1eb7c53cb83124bc288b/1614011430819-NEF7LDYGDF53GEM8VH1T/Front+St-05.jpg 400 Front St https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600f1eb7c53cb83124bc288b/1617117198441-1VDEHOY4QVOCPLPGEISG/Front+St+Materials.jpg 400 Front St https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600f1eb7c53cb83124bc288b/1614011720660-NLQ1UUG4HCUMNDAYIK77/Toma+Farren_S+Blount+St+Line.jpg 400 Front St https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600f1eb7c53cb83124bc288b/1614011124043-5KX3PNSLKCFGFKO21V8Y/Front+St-01.jpg 400 Front St https://www.tomafarren.com/verde-creek daily 0.75 2021-03-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600f1eb7c53cb83124bc288b/1615240784844-NXBD76R0DQ8CTUKQSHJW/Verde+Creek-06.jpg Verde Creek https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600f1eb7c53cb83124bc288b/1617117416103-ZCIP05XZM811XIXBC5EV/Verde+Creek+Site+Plan.jpg Verde Creek - Verde creek Location: Bandera, Tx Size: 6,000 Square Feet Photography: Casey Dunn + project completed as an employee at Lake Flato Architects Located on a 20,000 acre south Texas family ranch, Verde Creek Ranch is sited at the convergence of three different landscapes: Texas grasslands, Verde Creek, and a large bluff. The home was situated to take advantage of all three biomes. tucked between the bluff to the north and the creek to the south, the prevailing winds move across the grasslands through the house, providing access to gentle summer breezes and generous natural lighting. The homestead is organized to fully embrace outdoor living. A main pavilion houses the communal spaces of the home, the kitchen, living, and dining rooms as well as the outdoor kitchen overlooking the creek and the grasslands beyond. Branching off of the main pavilion are four separate private living volumes connected by covered breezeways, a master suite, a guest cottage along the bluff, and two cottage suites for the families teenage daughters facing the creek to the south. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600f1eb7c53cb83124bc288b/1615240695547-3AQW71D7BY0CBCKC779U/Verde+Creek-03.jpg Verde Creek https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600f1eb7c53cb83124bc288b/1615240939455-JYF3N3LGQK4JL46DL25Z/Verde+Creek-04.jpg Verde Creek https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600f1eb7c53cb83124bc288b/1615240888577-27BK1C3RLCGW01BOWQTM/Verde+Creek-09.jpg Verde Creek https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600f1eb7c53cb83124bc288b/1615240844413-8PEL3X9CQ3CX929VHHNN/Verde+Creek-05.jpg Verde Creek https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600f1eb7c53cb83124bc288b/1617117434353-YTLRDO7TLVCDNE226B78/Verde+Creek+Materials.jpg Verde Creek https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600f1eb7c53cb83124bc288b/1614204332754-5YZ3BFUMRHMFTEQ3PYSH/Toma+Farren_Bridge+House+Line.jpg Verde Creek https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600f1eb7c53cb83124bc288b/1615240515167-MRZYYPIQIXXIY2OBHFHX/Verde+Creek-01.jpg Verde Creek https://www.tomafarren.com/taylors-creek-point daily 0.75 2021-03-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600f1eb7c53cb83124bc288b/1613756594684-KAWVMCDWH89MAPLIKKV7/Taylors+Creek-04.jpg Taylors Creek Point https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600f1eb7c53cb83124bc288b/1614958228547-Y4TJ0N58LCW366PSY37S/Taylors+Creek+Toma-04.jpg Taylors Creek Point https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600f1eb7c53cb83124bc288b/1613756474597-V08IWW20T88PVERZAQWN/Taylors+Creek-03.jpg Taylors Creek Point https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600f1eb7c53cb83124bc288b/1614958145655-QMPNRSIZ450ZVBIRGE42/Taylors+Creek+Toma-02.jpg Taylors Creek Point - Taylors creek point Location: Beaufort, NC Size: 6,500 SF Completion Date: Fall 2020 This home is located on a breathtaking site in between a heavily wooded oak forest and the ocean sound.

A new materials pallet of weathered wood siding and stainted brick are inspired by the local eastern North Carolina coastal vernacular.
