Transforming a mountain retreat from rugged to refined.

With its striking timber frame and inviting open floorplan, this residence integrates traditional design elements with a contemporary lifestyle. The home’s original rugged, masculine aesthetic was artfully transformed into a serene mountain oasis with a more feminine vibe. Reimaging the original wood color palette with soothing neutral tones, the design dramatically softened the ambiance while flooding the interior with an abundance of natural light.

A new swimming pool and spa offer a relaxing retreat with unobstructed views of the beautiful Bitterroot Range. The inclusion of extra bedrooms enhanced the accommodation options for guests, ensuring a warm welcome to all who visit. Opening the living, dining, and kitchen areas encourages social interaction, catering to the homeowner’s love for entertaining. The kitchen’s extension into a stylish bar area, complete with functional windows that open onto the patio, further enhance indoor-outdoor connectivity. The strategic use of stone walls that seamlessly extend from the driveway into the house serves to emphasize the entrance. Carrying this element throughout gives visitors the experience of transitioning from each space into another of an even grander scale.
