The High Desert Modern

This single-story residence is located along the prestigious Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course within the Pronghorn Resort in Bend, Oregon. Designed with the client’s vision in mind, the home embodies modern sophistication while offering functionality and comfort. The client’s key requests were clear: to create a contemporary home with vaulted spaces, an expansive kitchen complemented by a butler’s pantry, and ample room for recreation and hosting family gatherings.
To meet these requirements, the design employed a hand-framed roof throughout the residence, a distinctive feature that enhanced the overall aesthetic and functionality. This thoughtful construction approach allowed 90% of the home to feature tall, vaulted ceilings. These soaring ceilings not only maximize the flow of natural light but also create a sense of openness and grandeur, striking a harmonious balance between the proportions of the home’s diverse spaces.
The expansive kitchen serves as the heart of the home, blending form and function to meet the needs of both casual living and formal entertaining. Adjacent to the kitchen, the butler’s pantry provides additional storage and preparation space, ensuring convenience and efficiency for everyday use and special occasions. The home’s layout also includes dedicated areas for recreation, offering flexibility for both relaxation and active pursuits. Whether hosting family gatherings or enjoying quiet moments, this space adapts effortlessly to the needs of its residents.
The connection between indoor and outdoor living is seamlessly integrated, with large windows and strategically placed openings framing views of the picturesque golf course. Natural light floods the interiors, enhancing the modern design elements while maintaining a warm and inviting atmosphere.
This residence exemplifies the blend of thoughtful design and client-focused execution, resulting in a home that is as visually striking as it is functional. With its elegant architecture, abundant natural light, and attention to detail, it stands as a testament to modern living in the serene and luxurious setting of Pronghorn Resort.
