This beautiful modern-rustic barn structure was designed by Dubbe Moulder Architects, located on a sprawling property near Oakley, Utah. Nestled high on 110 acres overlooking the Kamas Valley, this 12,254 square foot home is surrounded by a forest of scrub oaks.
Principal Kurt Dubbe was contacted by the owners to collaborate with Mark Rios to design and construct a stunning house for their family. The owners, who live in southern California, were drawn to the Park City, Utah area because their son directed and presented a film in the Sundance Film Festival.
After the family had visited the area and witnessed the magnificent landscape, the owners who always had an affection for the West, decided to build a home in the Utah Mountains.
The dwelling is spread out over three levels, featuring an exquisite mix of native stone and reclaimed timber to give the structure a traditional and rustic elegance. Even thought the majority of the materials are reclaimed and old, the house was not intended to be a historical reproduction. It is actually a contemporary twist on a traditional barn structure.
What We Love: This modern-rustic barn structure offers a warm and inviting getaway for family gathering and entertaining. We are loving the use of reclaimed materials throughout this home to give it an authentic feel. Unique accessories and beautiful furnishings adorn each of the living spaces, adding personality and charm to create a wonderful home away from home.
Tell Us: What do you think of the overall design style of this home? What details most appeal to you and why in the Comments below, we love reading your feedback!
Note: Have a look at a couple of our favorite barn-like home tours that we have featured here on One Kindesign: Rustic ranch house retreat designed for family gatherings in Texas and Rustic-modern barn in the beautiful Swan Mountain Range.
The main house includes four bedrooms, three baths, an executive office, theatre room, workout room, and a craft room. Near the main house is a separate, heated horse barn with guest quarters located on the top floor. Every space at Sunset Ranch enjoys breathtaking panoramic views of the Timpanogos and the Uinta mountain ranges.
The owners’ personalities shine through every corner of the property because they were involved in the project from beginning to end. They wanted the house to reflect the atmosphere of the west but also represent the family and their diverse interests.
