This project was inspired by our client’s vision of bringing his large family together under one roof — a dedicated place for connection, celebration, and shared memories. Designed as a gathering destination for holidays and milestone events, the home serves as a central hub for generations to come.

At 21,000 square feet, the residence significantly exceeds the area’s typical 6,000-square-foot homes, presenting both an exciting opportunity and a complex challenge. Architect of Record, Steve Morton, carefully analyzed the extensive program while navigating zoning constraints and requirements from authorities having jurisdiction.

By embracing the site’s steep slope, the design strategically carves and embeds volumes into the landscape. This approach allowed the team to balance the ambitious scale of the program with the natural topography, creating a composition that feels grounded and harmonious.

The result is a home that accommodates a large and dynamic program while remaining sensitive to its surroundings. Thoughtful massing and contextual integration ensure the residence complements the rhythm of the mountain terrain and neighboring properties rather than overpowering them.

This project stands as a testament to the team’s ability to solve complex architectural challenges — seamlessly merging scale, function, and context into a cohesive and enduring design.
