Ranch Headquarters is a single-family home in the former Cash Ranch Headquarters compound. It’s located in the foothills of the Ortiz Mountains along the usually dry but sometimes raging Arroyo Chorro.

Stylistically, the residence is regional contemporary. Details such as metal roofs, earthtoned stucco, local stone, and glowing accents of Douglas fir are at home in the context of a working ranch.

Systemically, the residence is a high-performance passive building. It incorporates all the pillars in the local and global push for resilient sustainability. These include super-insulation, draft-proof/airtight construction, continuous ventilation with energy recovery, and the minimization of thermal bridges (points where heat and cold can pass through).

Environmentally, the residence is quiet and flooded with light. The kitchen/dining area with roof terrace above creates a transition between the home’s public and private domains and segues between indoors and outdoors. Large sliding doors access a barbecue smoker terrace to the east and a stone cistern terrace to the west.
