Modern Gable: Barn-Style Houses

By Pierre Toromanoff and Agata Toromanoff

Clean rooflines, warm timber, expansive glazing, and rooms shaped by landscape: Modern Gable celebrates the enduring clarity of one of architecture's most recognizable forms.

Across Canada, the United States, and South Africa, Pierre and Agata Toromanoff present a striking collection of contemporary residences that reinterpret the familiar pitched roof. Discover the wooded calm of H le House in Wentworth-Nord, the rustic refinement of an idyllic Healdsburg barn retreat, Toronto homes with crisp urban presence, and Cape Town's Winelands Villa, where indoor and outdoor living flow together.

Featuring projects by acclaimed practices including Atelier Boom-Town, Malcolm Davis Architecture, Studio AC, ARRCC, RobitailleCurtis, and Dubbeldam Architecture + Design, each home is captured through atmospheric architectural photography and accompanied by essential project details.

For readers drawn to modern residential architecture, cabin retreats, and beautifully designed interiors, this is a compelling addition to the coffee table. A natural choice for admirers of Philip Jodidio and contemporary house books, it celebrates homes where the humble gable becomes dramatic, refined, and deeply connected to place.
