Sky Ranch

Raised from salvaged Douglas Fir & Pine. Built for the high desert.

A High Desert ranch for rustic-architecture-loving couple along with their friends and family, dog pack, and eight horses. The barn was built of Fir timbers salvaged from a WW1 Fort Bragg Army barracks. The house was crafted from Broad-axe finished White Pine logs, Redwood bridge timbers and our own doors and windows built of industrial salvaged Fir.

Architectural Design and Construction

"A simple purity of vision opens when an artisan takes his or her work–whether it be a painting, a piece of jewelry, a piece of furniture or a sculpture–from start to finish. It is an uncommon enough privilege to go through this process with a house. In this case we (Paul Froncek and I) got to birth an entire ranch! No question about where the buck stops–just the client and ourselves doing our best to meet their needs and integrate our structures with the landscape." -Ed Shure, Design Principal
