Steamboat, CO

This Steamboat custom home is a masterpiece in simple design and material sustainability.

Sleeping Giant Ranch serves as a quiet yet powerful reminder that the most beautiful homes don't ask for attention.

Architect Laura Marion designed Sleeping Giant Ranch to be simple and sustainable. The home achieves Net Zero Energy through efficient energy systems, while wood materials act as a natural carbon store. Nothing about the project is excessive. Every feature is intentional.

Sleeping Giant Ranch settles into its environment rather than reshaping it. With intentionally minimal design and natural wood materials, this custom home connects people to nature and shows what is possible with responsible mountain architecture.

Wood Source Select Cedar siding brings warmth and texture to the exterior of Sleeping Giant Ranch. The Smokey Gray finish gives the siding a natural weathered look, while alternating board widths add visual flow and minimize material waste.

The architect selected Select Cedar soffit to match the character of the siding material. Complete with a Custom Brown finish, the soffit contributes to the authentic aesthetic of the home.
