Pine View Residence

A compact rural residence designed to balance everyday living with a simplified equestrian lifestyle.

The project combines a 2-bedroom cottage, a 4-stall barn, and an open riding arena within a clear and efficient site structure. Rather than separating functions across large distances, the layout brings living and equestrian elements into close proximity, creating a more personal and connected experience of the land.

The architecture draws on a restrained material palette and simple forms, allowing the buildings to sit quietly within the landscape. Large glazed openings extend the living spaces outward toward the pool and surrounding forest, reinforcing a strong indoor-outdoor relationship.

The barn and arena are positioned to maintain straightforward circulation and ease of use, while remaining secondary to the residential experience.

The result is a property that prioritizes clarity, simplicity, and daily usability, designed for owners who engage directly with both their home and their horses.
