This gorgeous rustic mountain house created by JLF Architects together with Big-D Signature is surrounded by nature’s foliage in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. A tribute to the legendary topography, this dwelling is designed in a classic cruciform (cross-shaped) plan to promote an easy flow and harmonious connection to the outdoors. Views of the Grand Tetons can be witnessed from the owner’s bedroom, while mountain and river views are captured through expansive walls of glazing in the great room.

Encompassing 8,000 square feet of living space, the home is sheltered by mature trees on the banks of the Snake River with uninterrupted views toward the Grand Tetons. The exterior facade showcases a material palette of aged wood and stone that anchors the architecture to both the terrain and regional history. The dwelling features contemporary flat roofs and incorporates more steel than timbers.
