What is a modern rustic "Hybrid Dwelling"...? Click Here

Gated, private rustic mountain retreat-encampment located at 8000 feet; developed over 22 acres overlooking the Pioneer, Cedar and Lone Mountains; location South Central Montana, Big Sky. 

The Owners program fully developed, designed and expressed by DJA consists of a Master Plan that allows for the largest, private aquatic development found within the Yellowstone Club.  There are four ponds of varying size inter-connected by streams, water falls, fish spawning beds and wetlands.  The larger pond approaches a million gallons and has been sized for a geothermal heating system that will service a Cabin and Primary Residence (yet to be constructed), each commanding a beautiful extended view of Lone and the Pioneer Mountain Range.

The first of three modern rustic, hybrid Cabins (1800 sf, one bedroom w/loft), was certified as LEED Platinum USGBC Montana Chaper and has been arguably stated as the best example of its kind.  The Horse Barn consists of two stalls, tack, work area, a unique composting toilet and another first for the Club, a ridge line solar array.

The 9000 sf Primary Residence of Post & Beam western vernacular consists of three stories, unique programming and a commanding view specific floor plan.

Below Grade Dwellings (more discussion here)

If you have been watching the news lately you probably know a little something about global warming, peak oil, wildfires, and weather extremes like cold, heat, hail and tornados; not to mention home invasion or other security concerns.

For an environmentally conscious owner, a below grade dwelling may be just what the Architect ordered.  Utilizing modern means and methods, high design and cutting edge technologies, while also incorporating solar and geothermal heating (and cooling); a sub-surface structure is just about as good as it gets!
