Tumalo Ridge

Set on 22 acres of agricultural land in Tumalo, the Tumalo Ridge Residence is a complete reconstruction of a 1960s ranch—reimagined as a modern farmhouse rooted in the landscape of Central Oregon.

Originally altered through a series of fragmented additions, the home was taken down to its foundation and rebuilt with clarity, proportion, and intent. The new architecture is defined by a vaulted central living space with full-height glazing to the east and west, capturing morning light at arrival and framing uninterrupted views of the Three Sisters, including a direct axial view to North Sister.

The plan is organized for everyday living and gathering. A generous kitchen anchors the home, with a large island oriented toward west-facing bifold doors that open to a covered patio—creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection to the high desert landscape.

Materiality is bright, warm, and highly refined. White oak flooring, box beams, and rift-sawn white oak casework establish a cohesive architectural language throughout, paired with Taj Mahal quartz surfaces that introduce subtle depth and texture. A dramatic mortared stone fireplace wall anchors the main living space, while a more intimate TV den offers contrast—designed as a darker, more immersive retreat within the home.

The result is a modern farmhouse in Bend, Oregon that is both elevated and highly livable—an architecture shaped by light, material, and expansive views, designed for a family with a deep appreciation for design and place.
