2014 AIA Wyoming Merit Award
This 7,500 square foot residence is situated on a flat site with views north and west to the mountain range. The opposing roof forms open the primary living spaces on the ground floor to these views, while the upper floor captures the sun and view to the south. The integrity of these two forms are emphasized by a linear skylight at their meeting point. The sequence of entry to the house begins at the south of the property adjacent to a vast conservation easement, and is fortified by a “functional” wall that defines a path of movement and connects the interior spaces to the outdoors. This wall contains elements such as storage cabinets and a fireplace. The entry sequence will be further strengthened by the addition of a future outbuilding, creating an arrival ‘courtyard’.
