The design of this mountain house by JLF Architects was inspired by weather-withstanding barns that are typical to the local environment, nestled in the Yellowstone Club, a high-end secluded enclave just west of Big Sky, Montana.

Created as a family retreat, the intention was to have plenty of the warmth and beauty of a Western house but infuse it with a hip, up-to-date sensibility.

The 5,500-square-foot structure was created to be authentic to the region, but it was pared down to communicate a 21st-century lifestyle.

The family dining table was custom-designed for the space, consisting of smooth oak wood.

The floor is covered with a custom-designed silk rug. The stone around the fireplace is Montana Field Stone Moss Rock, installed by Sandoval Masonry.

The stone veneer feature wall behind the bathtub is a full-thickness stone which requires a structural ledge.

To reinforce the element of transparency throughout this Montana mountain house, a glass and steel banister lines two levels of stairs. Reclaimed wood treads are bolted to a steel stringer.
