Mid-Century Ranch

The homeowner was enamored with a modern ranch aesthetic for the exterior of the home, so careful attention was paid to the organization of the board and batten patterns on every facade.  Combining with the concrete tile roof and painted brick accents brings the whole texture of the composition together.  The dark contrast of the aluminum windows and doors helps highlight the colorful landscape elements.

Sited on an irregular triangular lot, the landscape layout is as critical to the family's living as the home itself.  Using the site geometry, separate exterior space 'vignettes' were created to define and organize each area of the exterior.  Each exterior component was designed as integral to the home, creating a harmonizing flow of the material palette.  A custom built see-through fireplace is the focal feature of the rear yard area, creating a 'wall' between the entertaining patio and a more private sitting deck for the master suite beyond.

The interior spaces embraced the Mid-Century design that the clients sought out, integrating warmer wood tones and eclectic accents that help tell the family's history, while still maintaining a coastal, comfortable feel indicative of the home's environment.
