FREEBORNE QUONSET
The Freeborne is a custom Quonset residence that reimagines the classic steel arch form through a modern lens of simplicity, light, and wellness. Its clean lines and bright finishes create a timeless yet contemporary aesthetic that blends industrial strength with refined elegance. Expansive glazing and whitewashed interiors amplify natural daylight, enhancing a sense of openness and calm throughout the home. Designed with universal accessibility in mind, the main suite is conveniently located on the first floor, offering barrier-free access, wide circulation paths, and seamless transitions between spaces. Every detail—from the polished concrete floors with radiant heat to the integrated lighting and acoustic design—supports comfort, functionality, and long-term adaptability for occupants of all ages and abilities.
At the heart of the Freeborne’s design philosophy is a celebration of nature and wellness. The home integrates unique indoor tree wells, allowing living greenery to thrive within the conditioned environment, connecting residents to natural cycles year-round. An airy open loft provides space for guests, creative work, and relaxation, while a dedicated home office encourages balance between productivity and personal well-being. Natural ventilation strategies, low-emitting materials, and daylight-responsive systems align with WELL Building principles to promote healthy indoor air and circadian rhythm support. The result is a bright, resilient, and restorative modern home—one that embodies freedom, flexibility, and connection between the built and natural worlds.
