Bald ridge residence,
Nevada County.
Designed for a sloping site in Nevada County, this custom residence captures sweeping views of the Sutter Buttes while remaining hidden from the road. The home features an introspective street-facing façade and entry sequence that prioritize privacy, revealing its openness only on the rear elevation. There, expansive glazing and a generous elevated deck create a seamless connection between the main living spaces and the surrounding landscape. Oriented using passive solar principles, the design maximizes natural daylight, winter solar gain, and year-round energy efficiency.
