At Tabberson Architects, we believe great architecture tells a story—not just about where we are, but who we are. Nowhere is that more true than in legacy design, where a home is envisioned not simply for the present, but for the generations yet to come.
A Home That Honors the Past and Embraces the Future
The recently completed Century Farmhouse, finalized in December 2024, is a testament to the principles of legacy design. Built to stand the test of time—both structurally and stylistically—this custom home was created with the clear intent to remain within the family for decades.
Rather than designing for resale or adhering to fleeting trends, legacy homes like the Century Farmhouse prioritize timeless beauty, thoughtful craftsmanship, and deeply personal details. There’s no need for real estate comps or speculative assessments—only the desire to reflect the values, traditions, and aspirations of the family it was built for.
Durable, Purposeful, and Uniquely Personal
From the ground up, legacy homes require durable materials, precise detailing, and a clear vision. Every corner of the Century Farmhouse is intentional—crafted to serve the family’s daily life while also withstanding the wear and passage of time.
What sets this home apart is its individuality. The design incorporates custom elements that reflect the owners’ personality, passions, and history. Family heirlooms influenced material choices, spatial planning echoed family rituals, and the layout was designed to accommodate future generations gathering under one roof.
Beyond Architecture—A Lasting Symbol
Legacy design isn’t just about building a home; it’s about creating a place that anchors memory and meaning. In the Century Farmhouse project, we worked closely with the family to integrate their personal story into the architecture, ensuring the building itself becomes a part of the family legacy.
When design moves beyond trend and market value, it becomes a powerful expression of continuity and connection—a bridge from past to future.
At Tabberson Architects, we are honored to work with families who see their home not as a commodity but as a legacy to be lived in, loved, and passed on.
Let’s build something extraordinary.
