Marfa Ranch
Marfa, TX
Situated just outside the West Texas art mecca of Marfa, this contemporary ranch comprises eight structures that surround a central courtyard — a hacienda-like layout that nods to some of the region’s earliest residences. The simply dubbed “Marfa Ranch” meshes organically with its vast surroundings, thanks to both its discreet design and its niche building material: rammed earth — an ancient and sustainable building method that’s enjoying a well-timed renaissance. Following a rustic palette of earth tones, wood and steel, the interior spaces are both minimalist and luxurious with ample windows offering unspoiled views of the Chihuahuan Desert and Davis Mountains.
In addition to features in Architectural Digest, Dwell and Texas Architect, the Marfa Ranch was highlighted by Austin-based builder Matt Risinger’s The Build Show in a video that’s racked up more than 1.7 million views, and won numerous awards including Dezeen's Top 10 Houses of 2022, Chicago Athenaeum American Architecture Award, and Texas Society of Architects Design Award.
Marfa Ranch features Sun Valley Bronze BB-18 Cane Bolts, Cabinet Edge Pulls and Door Hardware.
