Set within the expansive grasslands and aspen groves of Paradise Valley, this modern residence is conceived as a quiet, horizontal gesture embedded in the landscape. The architecture emphasizes clarity, restraint, and connection to nature, drawing inspiration from Scandinavian modernism and Western ranch typologies.
A low-profile roof plane extends outward to create deep overhangs, moderating Montana’s seasonal extremes while framing long views toward the surrounding mountains and forest canopy. Floor-to-ceiling glazing dissolves the boundary between interior and exterior, allowing light, landscape, and changing seasons to define the living experience. The home is organized as a series of interconnected pavilions, balancing openness with moments of privacy and refuge.
Natural materials—warm wood ceilings, exposed concrete walls, and finely detailed steel elements—anchor the house to its site while aging gracefully over time. Interior spaces are calm and understated, with a focus on proportion, tactile surfaces, and curated views rather than ornament. Native grasses, boulders, and low-impact planting extend the architecture into the terrain, reinforcing a sense of belonging rather than imposition.
