Victory Ranch

This mountain home was conceived as a living legacy. Designed for clients returning to work with the architects for a second time, the residence is both an intimate retreat for two and a place that will welcome future generations. From the street, the home reads as a quiet, single-story ranch. Yet as the site slopes away, the full expression of the house unfolds—terraces that step down toward expansive mountain views, generous gathering spaces, and a material palette that feels rooted to the land. Vertical cedar siding, artisanal stonework, and natural finishes bridge exterior and interior and give the house the feeling of something that has been here long enough to belong. Flexible programmatic zones allow the home to expand when the family is together. The main level supports everyday living, while a daylight lower level offers a game and media lounge, a bar wrapped in shou sugi ban siding, and a bunk room scaled for college-age children and eventually grandchildren.
