Copper Ridge Homestead

copper ridge homestead

Description
Tucked within the wooded landscape of North Idaho's coveted Selle Valley, this thoughtfully crafted homestead captures the romance of rural living through a refined blend of rustic warmth and industrial character. Rough-sawn wood siding, metal wainscoting, and a striking copper roof create a material palette that feels both timeless and distinctly regional. Though modest in scale at 900 square feet, the living area vaulted ceilings draw the eye upward to clerestory windows, inviting natural light deep into the interior. A wrap around porch further blurs the boundary between indoors and out. Complementing the residence is a 1,500-square-foot multi-purpose workshop designed to support the rhythms of rural living. The workshop serves as both a practical extension of the home and a place for practical storage and craftsmanship. The site plan was guided by a respect for the land itself, preserving native vegetation and protecting valuable gardening and grazing areas. The result is a homestead that feels as though it has always belonged here: a place where thoughtful architecture enhances the landscape while creating a welcoming destination for generations of family and friends.

Description
This 2,500 s.f. home had several goals — energy efficiency, modern aesthetic, disabled access, and site placement to utilize views and circulation. Features of the home include a fireplace clad in corten steel, industrial metal siding, and pops of color on the exterior doors. 10-foot tall windows in almost every room maximize the expansive lake and forest views. In addition, the home incorporates several energy-efficient components, such as rigid exterior insulation, a sealed and conditioned crawl space, and an arctic entry. A single slope roof sheds snow and rain away from the entry points, view, and outdoor entertainment spaces.

This 3 bedroom/2.5 bath house was designed as a “forever home” by including elements that allow for aging in place. The master suite and living areas share the lower floor to allow for single level living. An elevator provides access to the second floor guest bedrooms and hobby rooms. Careful farmhouse detailing brings a warm and cozy atmosphere to the spaces and well-placed windows allow abundant natural light to pour in.

Hawk Ridge Residence

“RDS’ design for our home was exceptional. Beautiful, functional, and economical. The home was tailored to its surroundings and oriented perfectly to capture the views offered at the property. Not wanting to make all of the decisions, we turned much of the design decisions over to RDS and just provided photos of things we liked from on-line galleries and other sources. They took it and created something we fell in love with. The Reiss Studio design team were at all times responsive, patient, and easy to work with.”
