Barn Pendant Lights Bridge Mid-Century Modern, Farmhouse Styles

When Jennifer Pandit, of Greenberg Construction, took on the gut remodel of a mid-century modern home for a client in Mountain View, California, she needed lighting that would bridge the gap between the home’s mid-century bones and the contemporary-transitional farmhouse the owners envisioned.

“We wanted to create a beautiful and open-concept living space for entertaining while maximizing the natural light throughout this home,” Jennifer says. The construction team removed a large center wall and brick fireplace between the kitchen and dining areas to allow for a seven-foot island in the kitchen.

“There is an abundance of light coming through the floor-to-ceiling windows plus we added skylights,” Jennifer explains. “We used black finishes throughout with custom, black aluminum windows and a three-panel sliding door.”
