In addition to capturing abundant natural light this design solution also created a positive figure-ground relationship creating sheltered, positive outdoor spaces. Located just east of the Wind River Range, the sloping roof lines give the house a distinct fractured aesthetic mirroring the mountains to the west. The barrel vaulted entry roof is distinct from the rest of the roof lines and draws attention to the entry sequence. In order to create an inviting transition from outside to inside the front door of the project is sheltered by a west facing porch roof that transitions into the breezeway leading to the shop and stables. Furthering this transition into the entry foyer, a dropped ceiling of open beam work with clerestory windows above create a unique space that plays with the sense of volume. Exposed glue-lam beams throughout the main living spaces create a contemporary mountain lodge feel while also adding visual interest to the ceiling.
