Centre Sky Architects is responsible for the design of this idyllic mountainside home located in the ultra-exclusive Yellowstone Club, in Big Sky, Montana. Nestled in the shadow of Lone Peak this year-round family home boasts effortless access to world-class skiing.
Expansive windows capture mesmerizing views of the nearby Spanish Peaks. From the footings to the eves, this property is flush with aspects of custom and sustainable design; a floating bridge spanning the gap between the kid’s rooms, and siding harvested from Colorado pines impacted by pine-beetle infestation are just two noteworthy examples.

What We Love: From the moment you enter this idyllic mountainside home, with its doorway of hand-hewn timber slabs, you feel welcomed by its modern-rustic aesthetic and timeless appeal. This family-friendly home offers an abundance of warmth thanks to its rustic palette of wood and rugged Montana stone. The color and texture of these materials also help to soften the look of the steel beams and steel bridge, which appears cold and unapproachable. Overall, this home offers an inner and outer beauty that will be enjoyed for years to come.

Interesting Details: There are a few unique features in this home. This includes 13 heart-shaped rocks integrated into the stonework (the wife used to collect them); New York and Wisconsin, the owners home states, were carved into hidden places in the rock; a secret door in a bookcase leads to a hidden passageway; a climbing wall with an auto-belay and an outdoor chimney that is 36-feet high!
