Granite Ranch

Granite Ranch

Hershberger Design was the lead consultant for the design team that included Dubbe Moulder Architects providing overall management, master planning, site design and construction documents for the site located next to the south entrance to Grand Teton National Park. The ranch compound hosts 23 structures, including historic structures relocated from Grand Teton National Park. The primary building complex is organized around a central green to provide a sheltered, focused outdoor area with ranching operations and native landscape around the perimeter. Significant stream and meadow reclamation occurred throughout the site to repair past overgrazing.

Parks are passive and active, mutli-seasonal and flexible in function. Simplicity and environmental stewardship are principal elements of enduring parks projects.

Ranches are complex in how they operate through the seasons. The land, and operations, read strong in every well functioning, beautiful ranch.

Every site provides opportunities for house placement, orientation and access at any scale. The exterior should interact with the interior, and outdoor space is best defined with existing elements.

Communities are diverse requiring unique responses to every project.

The natural environment is the draw for most resort communities. Connecting visitors and residence to the environment is central in the resort experience.
