This custom monument-style address sign was designed and built to feel as though it has always belonged on the land. Centered around a weathered piece of salvaged metal found on the Centennial Ranch property in rural Westcliffe, Colorado, the sign reflects the rugged history and understated character of the cabin and surrounding high-desert landscape. Features include:

• Salvaged corrugated metal panel reclaimed from the property and preserved as the focal point of the design

• Solid redwood frame, selected for durability and natural resistance to sun, snow, and moisture

• Traditional shiplap joinery and dowel pins, emphasizing strength, longevity, and hand-crafted construction

• Custom-cut black steel address numbers, offset-mounted to create depth, shadow, and legibility from a distance

• Three coats of Spar Urethane finish, providing long-term protection against intense UV exposure and harsh winter conditions

• Concrete-pinned installation, engineered to withstand the region’s high winds and extreme weather

• Design scaled and proportioned to complement the nearby cabin and the wide-open ranch landscape

The result is a functional landmark that doubles as a piece of site-specific craftsmanship—rooted in place, built to last, and thoughtfully integrated into both the architecture and the land itself.
