RAVEN OAKS
Raven Oaks is a forty acre ranch in Three Rivers, California. The South Fork of the Kaweah river runs through the southern portion, with breathtaking waterfalls and spectacular boulder outcroppings.
This steel-framed contemporary residence combines modern spacial concepts with traditional ranch finishes to create a warm environment set against a stunning natural backdrop.
Employed Themes
Arched Roofs
Bisecting arched roofs start low to create intimate deck coverings, then soar above living and public spaces.
Materials
Steel, Glass, and Plaster are juxtaposed with rough-hewn natural stone and wood.
Glazing Bands
Continuous bands of storefront glazing, both horizontally and vertically, take advantage of spectacular views of the mountains, waterfalls, and trees.
Decking
Each room, on all levels, has a corresponding covered deck. At the public levels, these decks are staggered vertically to maximize views and function.
Exposed Steel
Structural steel framing, whether columns, beams, or connectors, are left exposed (even within wall planes).
