The space is all the more dramatic because of the water view.

These wings are angled and crooked so that its rooms capture the best views of the rugged landscape. The configuration also creates a sheltered entry court at the southern end and provides a ground-level terrace with a stair to a rooftop deck at the northern end.   Photo © Joe Fletcher Sun Valley House Rick Joy’s Sun Valley House has two wings, with roofs raked in opposite directions.

The exception is the sliding glass door in the master bedroom. It offers a view of a brush-covered hillock that rises just a few feet away. The rafters and the flooring, both of Douglas fir, run in the same direction and lead the eye outside.   Photo © Joe Fletcher Sun Valley House In the house’s two main living spaces, the exposed rafters soar as high as 20 feet. A much lower (9 feet tall) drywall ceiling establishes an intermediary circulation zone, where the two rooms’ geometries meet.   Photo © Joe Fletcher Sun Valley House In the house’s two main living spaces, the exposed rafters soar as high as 20 feet.

The American West merges with the Far East on a 27,000-acre Wagyu-cattle ranch in a ghost town called Golden, New Mexico. Tucson-based architect Rick Joy designed a six-bedroom house for a couple who inherited the land.
