Cowgirl Heaven

Perched at 9,000 feet atop a ridgeline in Big Sky, Montana, this 4,500-square-foot mountain modern home is designed to capture commanding views of Lone Peak, with expansive glazing that transforms the landscape into a living backdrop. Respecting the local vernacular, the home presents a modest exterior that unfolds into a rich, immersive interior experience upon entry. Salish stone anchors the design, guiding guests into the great room where a massive boulder hearth creates a natural gathering point, complemented by steel columns and refined accents. Open living spaces are subtly defined by shifting roof forms, balancing connectivity with moments of intimacy and function. Prioritizing views at every turn, the home extends its connection to the landscape through a view-oriented primary bath and an elevated hot tub deck, reinforcing a seamless relationship between architecture, comfort, and setting.
