This project involves an extensive renovation to a 6,000 square foot residence in Jackson Hole. The house is located on top of West Gros Ventre Butte, with panoramic views of the Grand Teton, the Sleeping Indian, Mt. Glory and Jackson Hole Mountain Resort.
The design intention envisioned opening up and lightening the spaces to engage the views and landscape. A full kitchen renovation removed walls to open up views to the west from the great room and grand entry stair. A full fenestration replacement sought a thoughtful approach to provide more modern glazing technology for improved thermal and visual performance. Dark brown logs were painted white, new marble clad fireplaces throughout the house provide a modern backdrop for gathering places within the house.
This is an ongoing project: Phase 2 includes a new roof deck and new Jada windows in the great room, with new floor to ceiling glazing.
This 4 unit townhouse project is sited on a challenging hillside lot with Snow King mountain to the south and vistas to the Town of Jackson to the north. Each building includes a 2-story residence with attached garage and a lower level accessory residential unit. The design seeks to maximize light and vistas on a north facing site, providing numerous outdoor spaces to enjoy the stunning landscape of Jackson Hole. Window apertures are located to frame views and create a tree house feeling on a dense urban site. Each unit is unique, yet using a similar tectonic vocabulary to create a dialogue between the 4 units.

The Alpine Residence (dubbed as Snow King Village Townhouses for marketing purposes) were featured in an article in the Jackson Hole News and Guide’s business section. The accessory residential units (ARUs) included in each townhouse’s design were featured as a model to creating more housing in Jackson Hole.
This 12,000 sq ft house sited on a mountain slope engaged vistas of the Wasatch mountains beyond. The complex program included a cantilevered interior lap pool, wine cellar, and orchid greenhouse. The material palette included board formed concrete, lead coated copper, douglas fir, blackened steel, and Montana moss rock. The steep hillside lot required complex engineering for both the house and the site, engaging a gabion retaining wall system to create the site access.

This custom residence was designed to respond to the landscape and views to the Teton Range beyond. The roof volumes are in dialogue with each other, and the house gradually shifts in plan to orient each area of the house to Teton vistas.

This project is in progress and encompasses a vertical addition, interior renovations, and seismic upgrades to a Dolores Heights residence built in 1887. The penthouse addition creates a master bedroom suite to capture views of Twin Peaks and the city to the north, while the new roof deck engages panoramic vistas including downtown San Francisco. The project proposes a modern vertical addition navigating the complexities of San Francisco's historic preservation guidelines, along with a new bay window and facade alterations. The interior renovations update the existing space with a large open living-dining-kitchen area, bringing more light into the traditional San Francisco narrow deep lot.
The client desired to renovate an existing residence with sweeping vistas to the Snake River valley below. A library was a key component of the design. The design creates a modern retreat using steel, glass, and wood as key materials.

The clients sought to add space to the residence located north of San Francisco. The design proposes a thoughtful and light-filled vertical addition engaging vistas to Mt. Tamalpais to the west. A new modern kitchen for the client sho is an avid chef was a critical component of the project, along with a terraced outdoor living area.
This house in the Teton Range balanced the constraints of more traditional design guidelines with the clients' desire for light filled, modern spaces. A palette of stone, wood, blackened steel, and concrete define the interior spaces.
