Meldrum DesignThese clients built this house 20 years ago and it holds many fond memories. They wanted to make sure those memories could be passed on to their grandkids. We worked hard to retain the character of the house while giving it a serious facelift.
A high performance and sustainable mountain home. The kitchen and dining area is one big open space allowing for lots of countertop, a huge dining table (4.5’x7.5’) with booth seating, and big appliances for large family meals.
In the main house, we enlarged the Kitchen and Dining room, renovated the Entry/ Mudroom, added two Bedrooms and a Bathroom to the second story, enlarged the Loft and created a hangout room for the grandkids (aka bedroom #6), and moved the Laundry area. The contractor also masterfully preserved and flipped the existing stair to face the opposite direction. We also added a two-car Garage with a one bedroom apartment above and connected it to the house with a breezeway. And, one of the best parts, they installed a new ERV system.

Fabian_Keilwagen ArchitekturHier entsteht ein Einfamilienhaus mit Bürogeschoss in gehobener Ausstattung. Die geplante Fertigstellung ist der Frühling nächsten Jahres. Die Besonderheit dieses Gebäudes ist die Mischung aus verschiedenen Materialien wie Holz, Stein, Kalk und Glas. Während das komplette Erdgeschoss in Massivbauweise erbaut wurde, wurde das Ober- und Dachgeschoss komplett aus Holz errichtet. Das Gebäude besticht durch seine klassische Form gepaart mit einer besonderen Fassadenmischung.

They actually look quite beautiful as a front door, back door, or any other external type of door. The added bonus is that you can let the fresh air in on a lovely day, and keep the dog inside too!
Axial Arts ArchitectureSited on 35- acres, this rustic cabin was laid out to accommodate the client’s wish for a simple home comprised of 3 connected building forms. The primary form, which includes the entertainment, kitchen, and dining room areas, is built from beetle kill pine harvested on site. The other two forms are sited to take full advantage of spectacular views while providing separation of living and garage spaces. LEED Silver certified.

Designed as a prominent display of Architecture, Elk Ridge Lodge stands firmly upon a ridge high atop the Spanish Peaks Club in Big Sky, Montana. Designed around a number of principles; sense of presence, quality of detail, and durability, the monumental home serves as a Montana Legacy home for the family.
Throughout the design process, the height of the home to its relationship on the ridge it sits, was recognized the as one of the design challenges. Techniques such as terracing roof lines, stretching horizontal stone patios out and strategically placed landscaping; all were used to help tuck the mass into its setting. Earthy colored and rustic exterior materials were chosen to offer a western lodge like architectural aesthetic. Dry stack parkitecture stone bases that gradually decrease in scale as they rise up portray a firm foundation for the home to sit on. Historic wood planking with sanded chink joints, horizontal siding with exposed vertical studs on the exterior, and metal accents comprise the remainder of the structures skin. Wood timbers, outriggers and cedar logs work together to create diversity and focal points throughout the exterior elevations. Windows and doors were discussed in depth about type, species and texture and ultimately all wood, wire brushed cedar windows were the final selection to enhance the "elegant ranch" feel. A number of exterior decks and patios increase the connectivity of the interior to the exterior and take full advantage of the views that virtually surround this home.
Upon entering the home you are encased by massive stone piers and angled cedar columns on either side that support an overhead rail bridge spanning the width of the great room, all framing the spectacular view to the Spanish Peaks Mountain Range in the distance. The layout of the home is an open concept with the Kitchen, Great Room, Den, and key circulation paths, as well as certain elements of the upper level open to the spaces below. The kitchen was designed to serve as an extension of the great room, constantly connecting users of both spaces, while the Dining room is still adjacent, it was preferred as a more dedicated space for more formal family meals.
There are numerous detailed elements throughout the interior of the home such as the "rail" bridge ornamented with heavy peened black steel, wire brushed wood to match the windows and doors, and cannon ball newel post caps. Crossing the bridge offers a unique perspective of the Great Room with the massive cedar log columns, the truss work overhead bound by steel straps, and the large windows facing towards the Spanish Peaks. As you experience the spaces you will recognize massive timbers crowning the ceilings with wood planking or plaster between, Roman groin vaults, massive stones and fireboxes creating distinct center pieces for certain rooms, and clerestory windows that aid with natural lighting and create exciting movement throughout the space with light and shadow.
