2005 AIA Western Mountain Region Design Citation Award
2004 AIA Wyoming Design Honor Award
This residential compound includes a primary residence, guesthouse, barn, dining pavilion and entry gate. The distinctive form of the architecture is derived from a specific site characteristic: the Teton Range extends to the south, at the western expanse of the site. As the viewer’s eye follows the mountains north to south, the Tetons rise. To respond to this phenomenon, the ridge of the gable roof is angled to allow the north wall to gently rise toward the west, mimicking the line of the mountains. The south wall naturally rises to the east capturing the preferred morning light. This strategy governed the geometry of the entire project.
The result of this formal manipulation also takes inspiration from the natural environment and the ranch and farm structures found throughout the west. The relaxing of ridge beams from years of snow loads, the tilting of walls that follows the movement of roof and ground over time, and the patina of color and texture from years of harsh weather all combine to create an indigenous sculpture.
The materials (wood, rusted steel, copper panels and stone) form a monochromatic palette to reinforce the sculptural energy of each building. This combination of form and material reinterprets indigenous images, thereby creating a new vocabulary of western American architecture.
