Snake River Residence, Jackson Hole Wy

Snake River Residence

This Jackson Hole Residence and guest house is located at the foot of the mountains in a mature cottonwood forest near the Snake River. The site plan for the main residence provides four unique outdoor spaces with different orientations and site relationships. The entry, oriented to the mountains, is composed of large stone and concrete that reflect this rugged exposure. Opposite is the river bottom, where a raised boardwalk crosses a reclaimed spring creek providing access to the Snake River. A generous outdoor entertaining and dining area to the south provides both open sun and ample shade near a reflective pool.

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.
