Cedar Ranch

Set in Westport's wooded Coleytown neighborhood, Cedar Ranch is a ground up, single-family residence that reimagines the classic ranch as a series of crisp, gabled volumes. The 6,054 square foot contemporary ranch unfolds across a single principal living level, with 5 bedrooms and five and a half baths arranged beneath a sequence of steep, sculptural roof forms. A defining move of the design tucks the entire three car garage beneath the building, where engineered concrete retaining walls hold back the grade and allow this functional element to disappear into the site, preserving the clean, single story street presence while keeping parking and storage fully concealed. What sets the home apart is its structure: rather than conventional wood framing, the entire residence is built from engineered cold formed steel walls, floor joists, and roof trusses. Notably, it is to be the first single family home in Westport, Connecticut framed entirely in cold formed steel framing. This steel skeleton delivers exceptional dimensional stability, straight walls, and long term resistance to rot, pests, and fire, while supporting the home's generous open spans. Clad entirely in Alaskan Yellow Cedar shingles with clean bent metal trim, and wrapped in a high performance, deeply insulated envelope, the home pairs a warm, natural exterior with a rigorous, future proof building system.
