OCATED IN A flat sagebrush plain in the bed of the
historic Snake River, just across from Grand Teton
National Park, this 4,700-square-foot, four-bedroom
house, which embraces the natural terrain of Jack-
son, Wyoming, provides exceptional unobstructed
views of the Tetons.
"The incredible location of this project allowed us to fully explore
our firm's ethos (inspired by place) throughout the design," says
the CLB Architects team. "It was also a unique challenge to
design and build the exterior cutouts within the roof structure."
Created for a couple based in California, this holiday home
diverges from the mountain modern style typical of the region.
Instead, its design reflects the two passions of the homeown-
ers. "The home takes cues from American midcentury modern
architecture — specifically the rectilinear forms, exposed struc-
tural elements, and flat roof planes — and is also informed by
Japanese design, specifically the material palette and simple,
open spaces."
