This custom residence reinterprets the classic ranch house through a contemporary lens. Overlapping roof planes, clerestories, and careful orientation draw soft, indirect daylight throughout the home—highlighting the home’s tall ceilings, angled openings, and spatial drama.

A wood-slatted front door opens to a bright foyer and hall connecting the bedrooms and support spaces. The ceiling slopes upward toward the clerestories, creating a sense of lift that naturally draws you toward the great room.

At the center of the home, the great room brings kitchen, dining, living, and outdoor areas together in one open space. Floating shelves, a linear fireplace bench, and a built-in entertainment wall create a refined but relaxed environment. High trapezoidal windows illuminate the kitchen, and a flush built-in pantry keeps the space clean and uncluttered.

Wood ceilings extend beyond the walls, blurring the line between interior and exterior. Clerestory windows and expansive glazing bring in gentle, indirect light that animates the warm material palette. A deep roof overhang shelters outdoor areas, supporting year-round living.

Designed as a retirement home, the residence incorporates wide halls, minimal steps, slip-resistant surfaces, and blocking for future grab bars. Radiant heating, durable materials, high-performance windows, and natural ventilation support comfort and energy efficiency. The result is a home that feels easy, enduring, and deeply restorative.
