INSPIRED MODERN HOMES
BELOW: This home is a defining property within the Big Sky, Montana region; it was one of the first to push the boundaries of interior spaces and exterior
landscape. Large apertures of glass frame the views of Pioneer Mountain and Cedar Mountain to the west. A stone axial wall offers an integral design feature of
the home, creating a backdrop for the great room while separating the public spaces from the private areas. In exploring the site during the schematic stages of
design, the firm stumbled upon a linear outcropping of stone, which was playfully developed into a key design element of the home.
FACING PAGE: Although the home has more than 9,000 square feet of living space, its careful integration with the hillside along with the preservation of trees
gives the residence the intended appearance of a much smaller residence. The firm lowered its visual presence and tucked it more quietly into the landscape.
The slight roof pitch to the north allows for a view up to the summit of Lone Mountain. The simple and direct building forms divulge our inspiration: Mies Van
Der Rohe's less-is-more approach to design.
