T THE CENTER of a quiet, 18-acre meadow in Jackson,
Wyoming, providing panoramic views of the surrounding
ranchlands, foothills and the Teton Range, this one-story,
four-bedroom house of 3,632 square feet features an
asymmetrically gabled roof and a protected courtyard
garden full of natural light.
"Voids are carved into the main volume [which is a nod to the
indigenous Western structures found close by] to allow circula-
tion, play with light, and frame views to specific mountain peaks,"
says Bryan James, AIA, Principal at CLB Architects.
Minimal material elements were used throughout: oxidized
corrugated steel and Siberian larch for the exterior — main-
tenance-free materials which are perfectly adapted to handle
extreme temperatures — and steel, glass and concrete in the
Scandinavian chalet-inspired interiors while larch covers the
floors, walls, windows frames and ceilings.
