Deadwood Ranch

Basalt, Colorado
On a historic site outside Basalt, Colorado, this ranch compound was shaped around Mount Sopris and the open terrain that surrounds it. Heavy stone walls, timber beams, and hand-forged details establish a sense of permanence, while the arrangement of buildings follows the contours of the land rather than imposing on it.

The clients envisioned a Western home that would honor the land’s legacy while supporting the realities of ranch life. Interiors continue that vision through natural textures and handcrafted details that balance durability with warmth. Architecture and interior design work in tandem—enduring, grounded, and timeless in their connection to place.

LARRY PEARSON

Larry Pearson
Founding Principal

University of California, Santa Cruz

Larry Pearson loves to ask questions. His favorite ones start with the same word: “How.” How do we define yet integrate space: space for solitude, space for family, space for friends? How do we tie the lines of architecture to this natural backdrop? How can we authentically connect humans with design—physically, visually, socially, and emotionally?

For more than three decades, these are the design puzzles Larry has worked to solve, one structure at a time, each a unique answer in itself. Influenced by his clients’ dreams; his travels in the US, Asia, and Europe; and a palpable fascination with regional materials and settings, Larry thirsts to create bespoke designs that enrich human patterns of life…or even create new ones.

The natural migration from room to room, the uninterrupted flow from inside to outside, the internal human shifts from “world” to “home”—those are the elements Larry always seeks to elevate, enhance, and ease through design.
