Ridge House, an exquisite testament to minimalist architecture and design, discreetly positioned along the fringes of a 25-acre canvas of nature in the quaint hamlet of Ravenna. Crafted by the acclaimed architect firm Superkul and meticulously brought to life by John W. Gordon, Custom Builders, this residence seamlessly merges with the natural beauty that surrounds it. Superkul has earned countless awards and gained recognition as one of the best firms in the country, with a two-year waiting list. Ridge House is their first project in the Blue Mountains and an absolute show-stopper. In their own words, Supkerkul delivers “eloquent architecture of enduring value, prioritizing fluidity, functionality, and sustainability to create luminous and vitalizing spaces.”

The distinct silhouette of the roofline captures your attention, a visual ode to the thoughtful design that defines Ridge House. Created for both aesthetics and functionality, this residence embodies the essence of a serene and uncomplicated lifestyle. The design narrative unfolds with precision – a separate office space discreetly tucked away for moments of quiet contemplation, accessible by the heated pathway from the main house, a bathtub strategically positioned overlooking a beautiful Zen garden with a walkout, and an open dining and living area seamlessly blending into the natural surroundings.

The thoughtful layout places the primary bedroom at one end while guest rooms grace the other, providing a sense of privacy and separation. In keeping with the minimalist ethos, Ridge House boasts a single-story layout, eliminating the need for stairs and promoting a fluid, accessible living experience.

This three-bedroom, two-bathroom haven offers a canvas for your personalized touch. The heart of the home, a stunning chef's eat-in kitchen, serves as a focal point, merging culinary functionality with aesthetic allure. A two-way STUV fireplace adds warmth and sophistication, creating an inviting atmosphere that blends the living and dining spaces. Both rooms offer bi-fold doors that disappear and transcend indoor and outdoor living boundaries and are equipped with disappearing retractable screens to enhance your al fresco entertaining experience.

The residence provides an unparalleled outdoor living experience, boasting numerous inviting spaces for entertainment, relaxation, and year-round appreciation of the surrounding natural beauty. The exquisite outdoor forest room sanctuary features a Dekko Belmont gas fireplace, imparting a warm and intimate ambiance throughout the seasons. Its vaulted ceiling, adorned with marine-grade mahogany wood, adds a touch of sophistication, while the Wizard smart screen system ensures that outdoor enjoyment is seamlessly extended across all seasons.

Ridge House is more than a residence; it embodies refined living, a delicate dance between architecture and nature, nestled in the enchanting embrace of The Blue Mountains’ forested charm. This is your sanctuary, where simplicity meets sophistication, and the lines between the dwelling and its surroundings blur into a seamless symphony of contemporary elegance.

Built to Passive House standards, Ridge House stands as a testament to energy conservation and sustainability. Passive House standards are defined as follows:

“Passive homes are houses designed with a focus on minimal energy consumption and great air quality, according to OVO Energy. A passive house will save as much energy as possible. That’s why they are often described as ultra-energy-efficient homes. In summer or winter, a certified passive house will consume the least possible energy, which means low energy bills and a small carbon footprint.”
