Tucked at the end of a quiet private lane, Thunderbird Ridge is a forested guest retreat designed as part of a larger family property—an architectural getaway that offers calm, connection, and a touch of luxury. Surrounded by trees but nestled within an urban neighborhood, the home feels worlds away while still grounded in the everyday.
Though modest in scale, this guest house is rich in spatial experience. A sunken living room anchors the main space, creating a warm and intimate setting while maintaining an open connection to the surrounding forest. The gourmet kitchen is designed for more than just occasional use—fully equipped and beautifully detailed, it supports extended stays and family gatherings with ease.
A seamless indoor-outdoor flow leads to a durable and elegant IPE wood deck, blurring the boundaries between house and nature. The layout includes a primary bedroom and a comfortable guest bedroom, offering flexibility for visitors or creative retreat.
Thunderbird Ridge is more than a guest house—it's a destination in its own right. Thoughtfully designed for rest, inspiration, and immersion in the landscape, it complements the main home while standing confidently on its own. With its forested setting, refined materials, and quiet sense of place, this retreat turns a stay into an experience.
