Inversion | 1260 gently emerges from the landscape at the 1260’ elevation of a diverse 270 acre Ozark ranch. Though located at a subtle rise on a bald knob, the house digs in as much as it rises above the landscape giving the illusion that the home is ‘of the hill’ instead of ‘on top of the hill’.  To further this effect, the house seeks to use naturally derived and tonally neutral materials in long horizontal gestures as though to mimic geologic layers being exposed in the landscape.  By virtue of the homes modest footprint in contrast to the vast landscape in which it sits, the siting of the home symbolizes ‘something small on something very large’ – providing intrigue.

Inversion | 1260 embodies a western ranch life ethos that embraces one’s need to engage with nature and the wildlife therein. The overall masculine vibe is nuanced by a nod to bohemian reference points such as music, film, literature, and decor.
