About

Ryan Rippon

Ryan Rippon founded Zero West House to build the homes he could not stop imagining. He's a fourth generation Newport Beach native, born from a life only the California coast can teach.

At ZWH, Ryan is creative director and general contractor. He leads every project, holding the full arc as steward, from the first sketch to the final details of the completed build.

He still lives in Newport Beach. He surfs, plays guitar, and has a soft spot for old trucks and open roads. His daughter keeps him honest. The ocean keeps him grounded. The work keeps him grateful.

our ethos

We believe the quality of a home is determined by how seamlessly its architecture, interiors, and construction inform one another — each discipline strengthening the next. Our combined in-house team of experts makes this possible — a full-service design-build experience where every element is considered together, producing a result that is singular, cohesive, and deeply personal. Our passion for design and our care for craft ensure the stewardship that brilliant execution demands. At ZWH, with much dedication and gratitude, we delight in building the homes we design.
