Grounded Rustic Retreat

Before ground was ever broken, this project started with something more foundational: trust. What began as conversations around a potential renovation grew into something bigger—a fully custom home, designed and built from the ground up.

We worked closely with the homeowners throughout the entire journey, shaping a home meant for gathering, entertaining, and easy everyday living. Inspired by the feel of a European hunting lodge, the result is a sprawling ranch with expansive screened-in porches and a seamless flow between indoors and out.

The build took just under a year, and thanks to daily updates, clear communication, and a collaborative process, the experience stayed smooth from start to finish.

“I never felt like I was a bother. The process was smoother than anything I’ve experienced before.”

From a metal roof and bold masonry to solar and EV-ready systems, every detail was thoughtfully considered.

“We used to love getting away, but now… this home has everything we want. It’s us. It’s better than anything we’ve seen.”
