I knew someone was going to post that link up:)

On a more serious note, what about trying to get an architect involved and build something that is distinctly modern, yet might have subtle references to Irish traditional building. I would personally think that building something that fits in more with the landscape of Kansas might be more suitable than attempting to construct an ‘authentic’ Irish style farmhouse.

What is the vernacular architecture of Kansas? From what origin has it got most of its influence? For example is there already Irish influence in the design of present farm houses? I would start by looking in detail at the history of your area and then start to think about your design.

Best of luck
