Type
STATUS
Built
YEAR
2009
The River Bank House sits along the Gallatin River just outside Big
Sky, Montana. The clients love to entertain, so the house was
set up to create an open and casual atmosphere with a strong
connection to the outdoors. The 3,400 square foot house is
oriented toward the best view of the river while maintaining good
solar orientation for taking advantage of solar heat gain in the
winter and keeping out the hot summer sun. The large roof over
the living room serves to shade large areas of glass in the summer,
while geothermal heat pumps and high levels of insulation help
keep it warm and energy efficient in the winter. In such an
extreme climate the house was specifically designed to withstand
both extremes of the temperature spectrum.
The house is separated into the main living area and the guest
wing. The guest area is designed so that it can be shut off from
the rest of the house when unoccupied and set back to a lower
temperature when not in use. Additionally, the two wings of the
house bend in order to capture the best views of the river and
create a protected entry courtyard.
