Montana Residence
Architecture that is engaged with its surroundings
Set on the pristine Whitefish Lake in Montana, our design intention for this 8,000 square foot residence was to compliment and respect the natural surroundings. The sleek massing of the house situates perfectly on the sloping site at the lake’s edge. The post-and-beam structure is anchored to the site at either end by two stone plinths spanned by the main living space, a glass bridge.
The tower is reminiscent of a fire tower looking out on the national forest. The side with more opacity gives way upon entering the house to a large glass wall offering a strong visual of Glacier National Park.
