Great Design is Transparent
The design theme for Residence 1861 was created to reflect Douglas County’s rich cultural heritage and historically significant colors and shapes from the county’s agricultural beginnings.
The agricultural history of our valley has created a multitude of unique barns, farmhouses and out-buildings that give our valley it’s character. Those colors of weathered browns, tans, faded metal roofs, and old red barns are acknowledged in the design of Residence 1861. While the primary building colors of browns and tans reflect the neighboring properties, accents of corrugated metal (coated in a non-reflective, solid-color finish) and barn red fascia boards give a nod to ‘old Nevada’.
The buildings were designed with only two floors of living space to keep the mass of the buildings well below the 35’ maximum height allowance. Roofs were designed with relatively low-slope angles to mimic the historic shed roofs found around the valley. These efforts help to minimize the visual impact of the buildings and preserve, as much as possible, our neighbor’s views of the surrounding mountains.
People come to the Carson Valley for many reasons including a rural lifestyle, open space and a myriad of recreational activities. The design of Residence 1861 tries to reflect our unique and historic Nevada character.
