"Our common thread is that
we all have a passion and
honesty about the work. It's
synergistic—everyone's craft
comes together as something
greater than the sum of
its parts."
–Paul Bertelli
RIGHT: The beautiful form of the 19th-century stone building
needs its autonomy from the entry and the rest of the home,
so a glass-enclosed breezeway lightly connects the old and
new masses of the Jackson, Wyoming, residence.
FACING PAGE: Authenticity of the original structure was of
utmost importance during the project. Because of the harsh
climate, two roofing systems are used: a technical roof
complete with 21st-century techniques and a more authentic
ceiling with structural purlins and rafters seen from inside. In
addition, the new residence embraces original window and
door openings in harmony with maximizing the views. In the
living space, an original slender opening first appeared out
of context, but siting the new room to focus on Grand Teton—
the highest peak in the Teton Range—through the trees gives
it purpose and reinforces its elegant proportion. The closer
vista of the forest through the bathroom window establishes
a secluded, sun-filled space.
