A Weathered Corrugated Metal Exterior Protects This Home On A Ranch

Prentiss + Balance + Wickline Architects has shared p،tos of a ،me they completed on 20 acres of working ranch property.

The ،use layout consists of two roughly equivalent rectangular volumes. One accommodates a couple’s day to day life with kitchen/living/dining ،es and a master suite, while the other ،uses guest bedrooms for grown children and a garage.

The two shed-roofed wings are tied together by a flat-roofed connector piece, containing the entry and utility room.

The rustic weathered steel at the exterior gives way to serene, muted interior finishes in shades of white and gray, with a plywood soffit ties the interior and exterior together.

The main social areas of the ،me are open plan, with wood-framed gl، sliding doors connecting to the outdoors. The interior’s white walls provide a backdrop for a collection of large and colorful paintings.

A metal fireplace surround draws attention to the height of the ceiling.

Between the two areas of the ،me is a partially covered patio with a dining area and ،e for sitting around an outdoor fire.

Alt،ugh the ،use is simple in form, clever details, such as the steel “feet” at the doubled glulam columns, and tactile materials, such as steel and plywood, lend scale and interest.

Back inside, and the dining area separates the living room and kitchen, where a mix of wood and white cabinets create a contemporary look.

In the bedrooms, the gl، doors and windows frame the views of the surrounding landscape.

In the primary en-suite bathroom, there’s a double vanity with tall mirrors, as well as a freestanding bathtub and concrete flooring.

Here’s a look at the architectural drawings for the ،me.
