Randor Residence

The Randor Residence is a modern sanctuary, blending natural materiality with precision-crafted minimalism. Its low-slung rooflines, expansive glazing, and warm textural palette establish a dialogue between architectural clarity and organic integration with the surrounding wooded landscape.​

A composition of stucco, limestone, and cedar paneling defines the residence’s horizontal massing, reinforcing its low-profile elegance. The standing-seam metal roof introduces a sculptural play of light and shadow, while deep overhangs provide passive solar control and weather protection. The home’s anchoring stone plinth connects it to the gently sloping site, allowing it to blend effortlessly into the natural topography. Floor-to-ceiling glazing dissolves thresholds, curating framed views of the landscape while inviting abundant natural light into the interiors.

The interior is defined by a balance of raw texture and refined minimalism, where warm woods, natural stone, and sleek metal accents create a palette of understated luxury. The open-concept layout maintains a sense of fluidity, with visual connections across spaces, while a monumental stone fireplace serves as a focal point, bridging the living area with natural elements.

The kitchen, crafted by Valcucine, is a study in precision and innovation. Its matte black island, topped with a monolithic dark stone surface, introduces a strong architectural presence, while its sleek, handle-less cabinetry and integrated appliances reflect a philosophy of functional minimalism. A combination of open shelving and backlit glass panels provides an interplay of transparency and opacity, reinforcing the home’s ethereal materiality.

Throughout the residence, custom steel and glass railings, floating staircases, and warm hardwood flooring establish a rhythm of contrast and continuity, echoing the interplay between rigidity and organic flow.

At its core, the Randor Residence is an exercise in restraint and connection, where every element is attuned to its environment. The architecture engages with the landscape through framed perspectives, material tactility, and a seamless indoor-outdoor relationship. Designed to evolve with time, the residence stands as a testament to contemporary craftsmanship, spatial clarity, and enduring elegance.
