HOUSE 1 

At RidgeHaus, guests will tour a contemporary home set on 1909 bungalow bones. The original elements juxtapose some very contemporary treatments such as the rebuilt roof with exposed wood beams, the board-formed concrete entry, and distinctive Shou-Sugi-Ban siding.

HOUSE 2

This 1951 mid-century modern home includes features inspired by famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright, such as the elegant yet powerful roofline, the large spans of floor-to-ceiling windows, and the three-sided monolithic fireplace serving as a central focal point.

This home was used as a show home for its development and went on to make an appearance in the very first 1950s Parade of Homes.
