The Eglise Lodge is an on-mountain destination in Big Sky, Montana and serves as a base camp
for a 1,000-acre ski and recreation terrain expansion.
Perched at 9,573 feet, the lodge delivers an elegant dining experience with sweeping views of the
Gallatin Mountain Range, offering guests a place to retreat and gather after a day spent exploring
the mountain.
Strategically nestled into the mountainside, the low-slung form connects northern views to
dramatic peaks while embracing ski access and southern sun. The structure is primarily mass
timber—glulam columns and beams with a CLT (cross-laminated timber) roof. This expressed
structure defines the primary dining room and exterior form. The texture of the timber siding
contrasts with the crispness of the steel, offering a modern nod to Montana’s timber history.
Material selections reflect a contemporary interpretation of the regional vernacular. Wood,
locally quarried stone, and steel siding define the exterior, while a warm, durable interior palette
echoes those same materials. All finishes were selected for both visual impact and long-term
performance, ensuring resilience in a high-traffic alpine environment.
The interior layout centers around a spacious, open-plan dining area anchored by a grand stone
fireplace and complemented by a private dining room framed by floor-to-ceiling windows.
A lower-level flex space supports lounge seating, ski school, special events, and conference
use. Every space is designed for flexibility and performance, without compromising the guest
experience.
Meticulous attention to detail is evident at every level—from the overall form to the furnishings.
Interior elements balance organic softness with structural clarity, combining custom-crafted
pieces, layered textures, and curated lighting to create a refined yet approachable environment.
The design team thoughtfully selected finish materials and developed bespoke furnishings whose
tactile qualities enrich the fine dining experience. The result is an atmosphere that feels both
elevated and enduring—sophisticated in tone yet practical for an on-mountain setting.
Sustainability was a guiding principle throughout. The building orientation and high-performance
building envelope (windows, walls, roofs and slab) were intentional to help minimize energy
required to heat and cool. The building’s orientation minimizes energy demand, while all-electric
mechanical systems reduce fossil fuel reliance. Recycled carpet, regional stone flooring, and
energy-efficient lighting strategies were integrated to support a healthy, low-impact interior
environment.
Despite the site’s 400 inches of annual snowfall and extreme alpine conditions, the Eglise Lodge
was designed and delivered to endure. It has quickly become both a celebrated on-mountain
destination and a sought-after venue for resort guests.
