he Sagebrush Ridge Residence is a luxury modern custom home designed to celebrate the landscape while supporting energy-efficient, year-round living. Created by Showvaker Residential Design, it was originally developed for a high desert climate, but its core planning strategies translate beautifully to sloped mountain lots, rural acreage, and sun-filled southern properties.


If you’re building in Upstate South Carolina, the SC Midlands, Western North Carolina, or similar settings, this design shows how site-responsive planning can improve comfort and reduce energy demand. The home is positioned to capture views, strengthen indoor-outdoor living, and use passive solar principles to balance solar gain and summer shade. Deep overhangs, bold rooflines, and strategic glazing support natural light, cross-ventilation, and reduced mechanical heating and cooling.


Durable, low-maintenance exterior materials such as metal, stucco, and stone ground the architecture in its surroundings while supporting long-term performance. Inside, the open layout enhances flow and daylight with a calm, minimalist warmth.


The Sagebrush Ridge Residence is a strong example of sustainable modern residential design that adapts to real sites and real lifestyles. Aging-in-place planning can also be integrated subtly to support long-term livability.
