Set on a serene horse pasture in the heart of Greenwood Village, Colorado, the Flying V Ranch House embraces a thoughtful, low-profile design that harmonizes with its expansive setting. The client desired a clean, understated massing that would allow for aging in place, prioritizing single-level living on the main floor while incorporating dormered and lofted spaces above for additional flexibility.

The 9,500 SF residence is composed of two distinct volumes: a “living bar” and a “sleeping bar.” These linear elements are subtly angled from each other, creating a welcoming, sunlit courtyard between them. This central outdoor space opens toward distant mountain views over an in-ground swimming pool, providing a dramatic perspectival experience that grounds the house in its landscape.

A streamlined porte-cochère integrated beneath the living bar guides visitors into the property, ensuring a seamless arrival experience. The strategic separation of living and sleeping functions not only enhances privacy and programmatic clarity but also provides natural circulation and connection to the outdoor courtyard.

The Flying V Ranch House demonstrates a sensitive approach to its context, where simplicity, functionality, and elegance converge to create a timeless architectural experience.
