Sawtooth

Idaho

In a place where the seasons challenge the resilience of every structure, this home endures just as the land beneath it.

A gateway to trout-filled streams and high mountain meadows, this home serves as a place of refuge and solace. After three decades of cultivating a connection to the land—and a lifetime spent nurturing a love for the outdoors—the owners were ready to embark on the site’s second life.

The tawny autumnal tones and gray winter hues of the exterior’s timber louvers and stone masonry reflect the ever-evolving seasonal shifts. In winter, snowfall dusts the silvered metal of the gabled roof, the form of which subtly echoes the jagged peaks on the horizon.

Inside, old world style craftsmanship is infused with a contemporary aesthetic. The grandeur of the environment is matched by the intimacy of the interiors and carefully scaled architecture. Vaulted ceilings are paired with textured wood and thoughtfully placed steel windows that frame powder-capped crests, while new stone masonry complements time-worn variations.

Embracing the concept of hygge, the home seamlessly accommodates quiet moments next to the fireplace as well as spirited gatherings with family and friends. Its presence, rooted in the land as it is, stands as a tangible reflection of the balance between the timely and the timeless.
