Homes that belong to the land.
Solstead designs and builds one-off custom homes on remarkable land across the West, from first site walk to final key.
Read the site first.
Before a line is drawn, we study the land at every hour. Sun path, wind and view decide where the house sits.
Glass where the view earns it.
Structure is engineered around the openings, so whole walls of glass slide away without a column in the frame.
Built for a hundred winters.
Board-formed concrete, oiled walnut and limestone that age well. One builder and one contract, from foundation to furniture.
Selected residences
Three recent homes, three landscapes.
One team from first walk to final key.
Site walk
A principal spends a full day on your land, in morning and evening light, before any number is quoted.
Week 1
Design
Architecture, engineering and interiors are drawn by one team, so the budget is tested as the plan takes shape.
Weeks 2 to 16
Build
One site lead runs your build from foundation to finish, with a photo report every Friday.
12 to 20 months
Keys
Walk-throughs at six months and two years, and a maintenance log that stays with the house.
After handover
Concrete, walnut, steel and stone.
Chosen for how they will look in fifty years, not on the day you move in.
