Sited on a pristine lake within a wilderness preserve in northwest Montana, this family vacation home integrates the magnificent natural surroundings into all aspects of its aesthetic and functional design. Custom designed floor to ceiling windows and doors rhythmically transform the walls of the house into surfaces of reflection and light transmission and fuse the outdoor landscape into every moment of the clients’ living experience.

A wide variety of natural materials are used throughout the interiors to produce a sense of enveloping tranquility. The combination of wood cabinetry and flooring, stone wall and floor surfacing, textural fabrics and muted colors create a powerful relationship between the interiors and the majestic landscape, the reflective surface of the lake, and the striking rock formations that surround the residence.
