Every ranch needs a great barn. đ At our Pope Valley Ranch project, this dramatic black barn was designed as both a functional retreat and a destination within the property. Home to the clientsâ collection of vintage military vehicles, ATVs, and dirt bikes used to explore the ranch, it also features a lean-to arcade filled with vintage games for gathering and entertaining after a day outdoors.
Clad in black on the exterior and warm natural wood within, the barn balances rugged character with thoughtful detailing, from herringbone wood patterns at each end to oversized wagon wheel chandeliers, carved buffalo skull sconces, and vintage headlight fixtures. Even the powder room tells a story, with rough wood siding interrupted by blackened steel channels, a concrete trough sink, and vintage English industrial lighting.
A space designed for adventure, nostalgia, and ranch living at its best.
