FALL ARTS FESTIVAL

A full list of the design professionals featured in this issue, from architects, property managers and art galleries to specialists in building materials and homewares.

95 Here at Homestead, we are proud to continue to offer you the best in design, architecture and construction with each new edition. Our local Jackson Hole craftspeople have carved out a niche in the West with their passion, diligence and commitment to quality. As fans of these creative professionals, our jobs are made easy. The finished living spaces that reflect the work of these homegrown businesses always prove to be photogenic. It’s also very easy to revel in the entrepreneurial spirit that defines our community, and that makes putting together these pages even more enjoyable.

Each edition of Homestead celebrates the special feel of our mountain home. Our staff hopes to offer a slice of the lifestyle that is embodied in the choices of our residents. Those who are living the Jackson Hole dream and enjoying the diverse landscape that surrounds this mountain hamlet are also developing a beneficial environment within their homes. With variations in aesthetic focus, these spaces are personal statements, and it is always our privilege to get an insider’s peek into what makes these homes special. Our community continues to grow, and we understand just as you do, that those who love nature and outdoor pursuits must also be fed by what the West brings to our collective imagination. Here in Jackson Hole, we honor the past by bringing attention to touches of the Old West. But at the same time, a modern take on these themes continues to rise to the surface, seeking to redefine what beautiful living is all about. As our aesthetic moves forward, our embracing of beauty in all its forms takes shape in a stunning location that anchors our inspiration. As you explore all that this area has to offer, keep in mind the lure of the West that drew in the hardy souls who first homesteaded this landscape. Made of tough stuff, they endured high altitude extremes, benefited from the abundance of the land, and made their mark. This part of the Rockies is still made up of those who wish to make their mark. Their voices can be heard in the structures that pepper our lives, and felt in a pioneering attitude that makes the details sing.

SHANNON CORSI

2022 marks 25 years in business for New West KnifeWorks. The space from which this innovative outfit operates is a far cry from owner Corey Milligan’s humble start in a spare bedroom in his home. At the current factory in Victor, Idaho, a team of craftspeople hone the components that make up the specialty blades and artisan pieces that surround the brand. Among those team members is Sarah Gage. A native of Michigan, Gage joined the New West KnifeWorks family to work on one specific item: the Rock Block. Made of stone native to the Tetons, wood and epoxy, this kitchen accessory serves as a showcase for the highly praised knife line that the New York Times has said is, “as beautiful as it is useful.” Gage found her roots as a maker early on as she embraced woodworking in high school. Her college curriculum included welding. When hired to work fulltime using her artisan skills as a sculptor and woodworker in order to shape the Rock Block, she understood this would be her opportunity to create beautiful, functional sculptures. “My passion for making art is molded into one really cool product,” she says. No two Rock Blocks are alike, making each of them unique to the kitchen in which they are featured.

The rocks that are used often include granite, which is found locally in abundance. But sourcing basalt or soapstone is not out of the question. “No matter the choice in rock, we try to maintain its ruggedness. We want to feature that natural edge. Getting a view of the natural world in your kitchen is so special.”

—SARAH GAGE, NEW WEST KNIFEWORKS

RIGHT A Rock Block elevates the presentation of the hand finished blades by New West KnifeWorks—tools described as having “perfect balance” by Bon Appetit. The custom nature of the Rock Block lies in its unique composition, and shaping the piece.“My favorite part of the process is finding and cutting the rock,” Gage says. When a rock is chosen, it leads her to envision how the other components will come into play. Selecting the color or grain of the wood is inspired by the stone itself, as is the epoxy.

JILL GOODSON

ABOVE Crafting the Rock Block means marrying together stone, wood and resin. All of this is accomplished in the New West KnifeWorks facility in Victor, Idaho.

Gage extols the virtues of living an aesthetic life. A lover of architecture and a student of design, she believes, “When you are in your home, you always want it to be happy, healthy and inspiring. It’s the place where well-being starts.” The Rock Block is part of that equation, allowing a kitchen to feature a focal point of beauty, while at the same time, serving a practical purpose. A New West KnifeWorks Rock Block is fine art crafted for everyday use.

38 HOMESTEAD

Within the residential spaces of Jackson Hole, design sensibilities are embraced with forward-thinking style. The craftsmanship must be in keeping with the vision of the design and brought to life with care. For the past 25 years, Willow Creek Woodworks has been offering their cabinetmaking expertise into this innovative design landscape, and the evolution of their full-service woodworks mill reflects the aesthetic needs of a homeowner. “Whatever new trend is happening,” says proprietor Jaxon Ching, “we stay ahead of the curve because of the foresight of the designers.”

Most recently, Ching has brought metal fabrication into the fold of his woodworking operation. “Going into metal work was done to meet the needs of the architects who are integrating a lot of steel work into the cabinetry,” he explains. This is the call of the mountain modern aesthetic. “The companies we were subbing out to do the metal work couldn’t always keep up. That’s when we decided to do it ourselves. It’s become especially active over the past five years.”

SHINESTOUCHFINISHINGTHAT

BELOW A bunk room ladder system displays the talent of Willow Creek Woodworks, focusing on their in metal fabrication. “I feel pretty lucky to work with the clients, architects and designers that I do,” says Willow Creek owner Jaxon Ching, “I don’t take it for granted.”

LEFT The heart of the home is given special treatment by Willow Creek Woodworks, making every culinary encounter a memorable experience.

RIGHT A dining room space is flanked by the finely crafted cabinetry that is the specialty of Willow Creek Woodworks, with accents in metal that are selected with the design sense of the clientele in mind.

Willow Creek’s manufacturing facility in Idaho Falls is well established and has seen its fair share of change.

“The fact that we are pressed to do unique things has us buying equipment ahead of those demands, driven by the design community.”

—JAXON CHING, WILLOW CREEK WOODWORKS homesteadmag.com

Ching had put part of the space up for sale—a 12,000 square foot shop—and found himself in the unusually lucky position of not selling. That space is now dedicated full time to metal fabrication.

Aside from crafting cabinetry, Ching’s team applies their deft hands to staircases and other custom finishes found in some of the finest homes in Jackson Hole. For a recently completed build, he took pride in a bunk room ladder system that allowed Willow Creek to fabricate every component. “I have this thing where I never say no. The challenge motivates me, and it’s a puzzle I like to figure out. Every time, you gain experience and do better next time.”

“What keeps me going is that there is always something new. In the end when it’s all put together and installed, that is what satisfies me. Right now, I’m working on an all-bronze door that will be 1,100 pounds. I don’t know how many people told me not to do it, but I’m going to try it. I’m up for the challenge.”

“THE FACT THAT WE ARE PRESSED TO DO UNIQUE THINGS HAS US BUYING EQUIPMENT AHEAD OF THOSE DEMANDS, DRIVEN BY THE DESIGN COMMUNITY.”

Willow Creek Woodworks has a reputation that shines especially in a home’s kitchen. Metal details can be had in these spaces and play a beautiful role in the daily lives of the homeowners. Culinary tasks are executed in an environment of clean lines and refined surfaces, all a result of this team’s talent andIdedication.t’sclearthat Jaxon Ching is content with his work and by the design partnerships that feed his creative spirit.

DESIGN INSPIRATION

Ward | Blake Architects’ vision is clear: to sensitively, sustainably and artistically design homes and buildings that are integral with their locations. Principal Tom Ward says, “At Ward | Blake, we eschew traditional form for organic form. At building sites, we study the view corridors, orientation to the sun and natural contours of the land to design and situate structures. The result is a tangible relationship with the site, and it is an architectural process we can use anywhere in the world.”

PHOTOS DOUGLAS

Founded in Jackson in 1996, Ward | Blake has been designing custom homes, schools, places of worship and commercial buildings throughout the intermountain West. From the beginning, Tom Ward and Mitch Blake have used a bio-climatically responsible approach. From their lifelong study of architecture, they use fundamental design methods to assure sensitivity to the surrounding environment. They consider how much sun will penetrate the building, which naturally warms and lights its rooms. They study the thermal envelope so that they can reduce heating and cooling of buildings. They ask how large roof overhangs should be to provide shelter from weather. They select building materials that will withstand UV penetration, intense storms and extreme temperatures.

AT HOME ON THE RANGE STORY DAVID

ABOVE This home mimics its surroundings with native sod roofing and roof pitches that align with the home site’s topography.

Tom Ward and Mitch Blake design buildings to last and to a lovely aesthetic. Ward says, “Anything we have designed in our partnership is such that it will withstand time and the elements. And, we assure that it will have been artfully crafted.” WE HAVE DESIGNED IN OUR PARTNERSHIP IS SUCH THAT IT WILL WITHSTAND TIME AND THE ELEMENTS.” WARD, WARD

That is not to say that function trumps form. There is beauty in all of Ward | Blake’s work. Tom Ward says that they operate with three pillars of architecture—as art and science—at the forefront: A building must be firm, commodious and delightful. Ward says, “When you enter any home that we have designed, we want an emotional reaction, one of excitement. The place needs to be cool.”

When Ward | Blake opened their firm, Jackson Hole was replete with Old West-style log homes. The principals, nevertheless, insisted on modernist approaches. Mitch Blake says, for instance, “We were among the first in Jackson to integrate sod roofs into homes. The sod allows the house to blend with its surroundings, and it is a beautiful and practical application of sustainability.” The turf changes shades with the seasons, so a home looks different from early spring to summer through autumn. Additionally, sod roofs act as a thermal mass and they slow runoff, which reduces erosion from the soil below the drip line.

Few sunrises on earth rival those in Teton Valley. As the morning’s golden glow swells from behind the Grand Teton, the coolness of the crisp alpine nighttime diminishes with the mountain’s shadows.

TRIBUTARY DEVELOPMENT TRIBUTARYIDAHO.COM

At once peaceful and thrumming with the energy of a thriving, vibrant landscape, each summer morning overflows with promise—especially when it begins at Tributary. A relaxed, refined lifestyle community in quaint Driggs, Idaho, Tributary offers the ideal place to experience immersion in the untrammeled natural West as well as truly elevated amenities. This sweeping, 1500-acre development seems woven into the very fabric of the landscape; a full third of the acreage is a Fen—a unique, protected wetland—that not only offers bountiful opportunities for recreation, but is also home to a diverse array of native wildlife including moose, bald eagles, osprey, wild trout, and more. Members enjoy exclusive access to this pristine slice of Teton Valley, and all that its untamed crystal waters and pure breezes have to offer. Some days, as it has always been in the West, adventure irresistibly beckons. No matter the time

A tranquil oasis awaits after whatever the day brings: retreat to the haven of Tributary to relax, recharge and plan your next adventure.

WILDLIFE, BLUE SKIES, CRYSTAL CLEAR WATER— DON’T JUST VISIT. LIVE IT. —TRIBUTARY homesteadmag.com

47 of year, Tributary is ideally situated as a base camp for exhilarating exploration. Summer and fall, however, are particularly rich with opportunities for all ages, interests and ability levels. In addition to Tributary’s celebrated golf course, the Recreation Barn—an on-site cache of diverse outdoor gear—provides members with mountain bikes, road bikes, paddleboards, rafts, and yard games like bocce, archery and hatchet-throwing. On-site ponds offer spectacular private fly fishing, as do a multitude of nearby regional rivers. Additional off-site opportunities include horseback riding, mountain climbing, hiking, internationally-celebrated National Parks, breathtaking wildlife watching, whitewater rafting and more—it’s all only steps away. No matter where the day takes you—whether it’s a contemplative and serene hike through mountain meadows, a boisterous and laughter-filled day of landing native trout, a restorative day of wellness programming and massage or an adrenaline-spiked spin on a mountain bike—Tributary welcomes you home to a tranquil, sophisticated refuge. Enjoy world-class dining featuring exceptionally crafted plates with local ingredients, thoughtfully paired with cellar-worthy wine and handcrafted cocktails. End the day as the sun eases into the West, painting the rugged Tetons in shades of amethyst and wild rose. Relax by one of the many outdoor fireplaces—sink into the moment and let it infuse you with mountain magic. This is the ultimate experience of the West: a seamless balance of unmatched adventure and refined retreat. The best of it all. Life’s short, and on days like this, it’s tough to imagine living it anywhere else.

Keegan

The following pages attest to the stories held and told by homes—of individuals and families, of talents and communities coming together to carve out a place in this spectacular valley. We consider the underlying plot of Jackson as a patchwork settlement of adventurers. As such, the Town and County have become a patchwork of structures, each of which tells a distinct story about its occupants and their aspirations. However, for every story of a home told (in Homestead and beyond), there are countless untold—as Shacks on Racks attests to in their indefatigable advocacy of saving and moving existing homes rather than demoing them as trash. Having lived in Jackson since high school, Esther Judge-Lennox connected the dots between the homes she knew and loved being torn down to make way for new builds, and the untenable real estate dynamics she experienced as a Jackson local. Her personal tipping point: in 2016, she and her husband built a 900 square foot home and immediately realized their ensuing mortgage far exceeded their budget; they couldn’t afford to live in the home they had just worked so hard to build. As a solution, Judge-Lennox found a 1941 craftsman slated for demolition and spent $50,000 (plus countless hours figuring out the logistics of) moving the historic house to their property as an Accessory Rental Unit. The rental income covers almost 50 percent of their mortgage, enabling them

to stay in their home in the valley. “Shacks on Racks was born out of desperation,” she says. “We have all seen our community change so much, but there wasn’t a clear line of sight connecting the dots of what was actually happening.”

Then as now, her work fills gaps in services: not only has she fine-tuned the process of mobilizing resources and professionals to relocate older homes, but she also bridges the divide between documentation and action by logging every demolition permit submitted to the Town, and tracking projects poised to begin in the County (where demo permits are not required). Relocating an old(er) home helps preserve housing stock amid the housing crisis, while simultaneously averting the environmental burden of its demolished materials ending up in a landfill. “I’m trying to reframe everyone’s thinking,” she says.

LEFT Esther Judge-Lennox is all smiles as this home is repurposed.

To underscore Shack’s connection to housing, Judge-Lennox asks her clients to become members of Shelter JH, a membership-based 501c4 building advocacy group centered around workforce housing, “because without systemic change we will continue to cobble together unsustainable solutions instead of creating real, lasting solutions that support the longevity of our community,” explains the Shacks website.

52 HOMESTEAD Amber Baesler

Homes, old and new, tell stories worth listening to, learning from, and if no longer resonant onsite, recontextualizing—whenever, wherever possible.

“Every house is worthy of moving, no matter how big or small,” Judge-Lennox says. And yet, “for every house that I move, five fall through. Since 2003, almost 400 homes have been demolished in the Town of Jackson, and we’ve moved less than 5 percent of those. We all need to work together to save our community.”

“EVERY HOUSE IS WORTHY OF MOVING, NO MATTER HOW BIG OR SMALL.” —ESTHER JUDGE-LENNOX, SHACKS ON RACKS

MANIFESTING THE MODERN CHALET

With a reputation in Jackson Hole that has spanned over 35 years, Dembergh Construction has been fortunate to work with some of the most accomplished architects and artisans in the region. Partner Mike Prichard emphasizes that the build side of a project hits its true mark when the relationship with the design side is “symbiotic.” For this recent project, Dembergh teamed up with CLB Architects, Willow Creek Woodworks and Jackson Hole AV to create a stunning modern chalet. “We work well together and this project was a great example of that.” Prichard is referring to a recently completed build, one that tested Dembergh’s expertise in beautiful ways. Primarily, the placement of the windows in this mountain modern design gave his team something substantial to chew on. “It took a day and half to two days to build each window. The coolest thing is the trim detail, the shades are built in, so that each window appears to be seamless.” When approaching the home, the windows compel the onlooker’s gaze to linger. As the eye moves over the roof line and the exterior finishes, it is clear that deep inspiration has been beautifully manifested. When the property owners engaged the architects, they communicated their love of the ski lodge culture in Austria. This is what drove the look and feel of their vision. “The lines are well thought through,” says Prichard. “The interior palette is light, and not just in color. There is a feel to it that is lighter.” This sensory experience is anchored by fir ceilings and white oak floors, married together with the Italian-made Brombal windows. Mountain sun graces the interior atmosphere, bringing the wonder of the outdoors into the comfortable spaces that comprise the home.

The heart of this home lives on the main floor, with a great room that features dining space and flows into an open kitchen. From there, guests can easily access outdoor living, an area that features a fire pit and built-in hot tub. The homeowners have embraced the holistic approach to living in the Tetons. Indoor comfort paired with outdoor amenities takes a dwelling to sublime levels. It’s clear this home is made to play host to friends and family who will be fortunate to enjoy all that it has to offer. The teams from Willow Creek Woodworks and Jackson Hole AV were attuned to every detail. Beyond the larger bedrooms, it is the bunkroom that exemplifies this welcoming vibe. The built-in beds are queen sized and have been wired for relaxation. USB ports are handy, and recessed lighting compartmentalizes each nest. A shared room becomes cozy and individualized despite its communal purpose. If occupants are craving company, the limestone fireplace in the great room posits the most optimal meeting place, with a full wall of windows inspiring any plans that might be made for the day. The outdoors beckon with possibility, if only so exploring guests can look forward to reveling in this space at day’s end.

Small touches of personalization can build upon a whole design in satisfying ways. The clean lines of a European chalet sing in this space, but the theme does not feel cold. The tilework in the bathrooms present the perfect example of accommodating warmth and familiarity. With the help of the renowned East Coast interiors firm Bunny Williams, the tile motifs lend a sense of home and comfort.

AT HOME IN THE DETAILS

Many talented hands aided in the success of this project. Beyond the teams from Dembergh Construction and CLB Architects, Willow Creek Woodworks brought their best to the table. Jaxon Ching speaks of the effort in ensuring the fluidity of the kitchen was addressed properly. “The horizontal planking and wood grain that had to be matched, going from the kitchen to the pantry and then into two rooms opposite of each other really presented a challenge. But it’s so fun when that attention to detail comes together and the team can take pride in a job well done.” Another custom piece taken on by Willow Creek was the ladder system in the bunkroom. Their role on a job site goes beyond cabinetmaking, with metal fabrication a strong part of their portfolio. “I think this may have been only the second time we have had to address a ladder system. But in this case, we fabricated it all from beginning to end. The welding, the sanding, all of it. The challenge is motivating and solving the puzzle to make it come out just right is so gratifying.”

Further expertise in bringing the job to completion came from the team at Jackson Hole AV. Rich Ashburn explains that his crew is often the last on a job site, tying together the very precise loose ends that result in highly functional security surveillance, lighting, and audiovisual systems. “Our team approach is balanced well, and we have so much respect for the modern aesthetic. Everything must be precise, and if it’s not, it shows.”

The great room features two fireplaces, and views of the Snake River Range. The paneling that flanks the limestone on this half of the room is actually a hidden doorway crafted and installed by Willow Creek Woodworks.

An elevated green space featuring tall grasses is set against the exterior finishes of the home and lends movement and color in an unexpected way. Prichard says of the mountain modern aesthetic, “The simplest form is the hardest to perfect. We need to make it all look like it’s supposed to be there. Aside from the expanse of windows, it’s the roof line that makes a statement without being over the top. It’s understated, subdued, and refined.”

A bunkroom built for full comfort means queen sized beds, recessed lighting, and views that bring nature’s sense of peace into the space. Although meant for communal living, the nested feel would give any guest a sense of privacy.

The environment surrounding this home lends to its aesthetic balance. The Snake River Range and the familiar curves of Sleeping Indian are landscape nuances that cannot be ignored, and the home itself does not distract from nature’s original design. A creek flows down from one of the neighboring peaks, creating a languid border on one edge of the site. The meandering outdoor living space presents the beauty of limestone in concert with surrounding trees. If one chooses not to revel in the luxury of the hot tub or station themselves at the fire pit, a covered area accentuates how this zone of outdoor relaxation can be enjoyed. Dining al fresco, even during a snowfall, seems absolutely possible.

LEFT Creekside views from a cozy bed can either propel one into the outdoors, or encourage a day long stay beneath finely made linens.

A reputation built over decades has brought Dembergh to the point of being in demand without having to advertise. Getting assignments through word of mouth keeps this construction team busy working with some of the most pioneering design houses in the West. The projects result in experiential living at its finest, with the abundance of the Teton lifestyle ensuring full satisfaction.

LIVING PROOF OF EXPERTISE

The effort to complete this project took just over two years, and Dembergh Construction’s capable expertise took the build to the finish line with client and architectural expectations fully intact. “The proof of our expertise is always our last project,” says Prichard. The firm’s presence has been felt in Jackson for over 35 years, with a focus on the West Bank. “We’ll take a job out of that neighborhood if it’s interesting,” he says. “We work from a philosophy that we simply want to do cool and interesting things.”

DWELLING INTERIOR DESIGN DWELLINGJH.COM MATT THACKRAY, AIA ARCHITECT DREAM HOMES HOMESTEAD

“ The owner had a profound love of this funky, quirky, low-slung cabin, even though the layout didn’t really work for their family,” remembers Kate Binger, owner of Dwelling and interior designer on the project. She and Matthew Thackray, AIA, now Principal at Prospect Studio, were tasked with reimagining the space without losing its character.

It’s easy to fall in love with a house that has good bones and great character. Sometimes, however, that same house can come with some head-scratching details.

Like a front door located in the backyard. That’s the way things began with the Teewinot Home, located on the beautiful West Bank of Jackson Hole. The 1,700-square-foot cabin, originally built in 1988, had been bought by an arts and antique lover who, thanks to his appreciation for found objects, eliminated outright the possibility of razing it.

ABOVE A key factor in the renovation was a reorientation and increased emphasis on the sense of arrival and entry into the home.

66 REIMAGINING AN ARTFUL CABIN STORY MEG DILLON + MELISSA THOMASMA PHOTOS DAVID AGNELLO

The orientation may have changed, but certain key elements remained the same. Lower ceilings, for example, helped maintain an intimate feel throughout the home. Similarly, rooms were realigned to flow together nicely while keeping their smaller footprints. These nook-like rooms, both intuitive and surprising, create prime opportunities for showcasing the owner’s extensive art collection. Eye-grabbing paintings, carefully sourced antiques, and evocative sculptures all contribute to an homesteadmag.com

67 Thackray immediately identified the cabin’s floor plan as unwelcoming and less than functional for a family lifestyle. To improve the layout, he decided to flip the main access and driveway to the south side of the structure. “We seized the opportunity to shift the entire orientation of the house on the property,” Thackray explains.

Now, residents and guests arrive at an impressive north view of the Tetons and enter the house through a sequence of carefully designed moments. “In order to emphasize the sense of arrival, which had previously been lacking, we landscaped the front with native flowers surrounding a classic Western front porch. We also brought more daylight into the home from the southern aspect.”

RIGHT Understated wall and floor materials emphasize both the breathtaking mountain view and the owner’s expansive collection of art. atmosphere of sophisticated whimsy. They pop against the home’s neutral palette, which acts as an ideal canvas for the collection. “There’s an interesting and compelling delicacy that happens with some of these spaces,” notes Binger. “The floors anchor the space, and the walls aren’t competing with the art for attention.”

Overall, the home embraces a design scheme that Thackray describes as “understated materiality.” Layers of subdued, calming colors still provide rich opportunities for visual texture, thanks to the use of white oak, white cedar, and tinted plaster, plus hints of steel, walnut, concrete, and stone. Of course, much of the appeal of living in Jackson Hole is reveling in the natural, untamed beauty on your doorstep. Thackray heightened this experience by expanding the home’s outdoor living spaces to include a flagstone-paved walkway, a stone-crafted fire pit, a spacious deck ideal for stargazing, and a covered outdoor dining space. Ultimately, the team breathed new life into the repurposed home. Now, it shines as a modern abode while remaining a study in character and charm. It’s a home that’s as distinctive as its owner, who first fell in love with its imperfections and saw it for what it could be—a work of art.

“THERE’S AN INTERESTING AND COMPELLING DELICACY WHICH OCCURS THROUGHOUT THIS HOME. IT’S AN UPLIFTING SPACE.” —KATE BINGER, DWELLING

The secret to a successful design build project? A cohesive team. This dynamic —manifested in a new build by Willow Creek Design Group in collaboration with Couloir Construction—begins with decisive clients with clear objectives then executed by talents who not only know their trades but also recognize and respect the purviews of every other person working on the project.

Colleen Walls, Principal and Senior Designer of Willow Creek, had previously worked with the clients on projects in Teton County and California. Seasoned homeowners, they valued the experience and turned to her again after acquiring a lot on the Westbank. This time, Colleen was tapped as Owners Representative, an all-encompassing role that includes managing every relationship involved in the project and working across all phases—from conception to construction and installation. Thus empowered, Walls engaged architect John Kjos and Jesse Roy, owner of Couloir Construction. The clients described their dream home (replete with photographs of eyed elements); they knew what they wanted in terms of square footage, layout, budget and timeline. Kjos’ knowledge was essential early on with regard to programming, site layout and permitting. In terms of aesthetics, the reins were given to Walls and Roy to let the design develop organically.

ABOVE As avid home chefs, the clients envisioned the kitchen as the hub of their new home, thus investing great care in its custom design.

Such parameters emboldened the team— augmented by Renée Crawford, Principal/Senior Designer at Willow Creek and Jerod Kennedy, Project Superintendent at Couloir. “We could change the project in real time,” Walls said. Case in point: the kitchen, a central site for the clients, both avid home chefs. Initially, a hallway wall and timber beams had delineated the space, but amid framing, Walls and Roy realized the room would be better served by halving the height of the wall, showcasing a wall of windows. Now, the kitchen flows into the great room and incorporates the panoramic views.

“Our clients were thrilled with the process,” Roy said. Client visits became collaborative—dubbed “Team Think Tanks”—sessions that focused on further refining initial designs. Material selections were seamless from start to finish. Oftentimes, the interior designer is handed an exterior palette to reference by the architect; instead, the designers worked with the builders to set and source the same materials for the siding—barnwood corral board and Chief Cliff stone—which they then

“ The key was to highlight the wood and stone in the interiors,” Crawford said. “We created a serene environment with the use of texture, as opposed to pattern.”Beyond empowering, the integrated process also proved educational for the designers; accustomed to fine-tuning finishes well into the process, the budgetary constraints compelled early decisiveness homesteadmag.com

Originally, the clients wanted to see the same deep colors that Walls had used in their first Teton project some seven years ago. By emphasizing resale potential, she reoriented their sense of alpine aesthetics to a more timeless palette, anchored by less color and more earthy materials: ironwork, stone, timbers. Modern neutrals now complement the rustic architectural features, as expressed in harmonized rooms like the spa-like master bath with its veined marble tile, fluted glass sconces and greige vanity. “When you are working with neutrals, you have to be careful not to end up bland,” Walls said. “Texture is a way to still have zip.”

“WHEN YOU HAVE CLIENTS WHO ARE WONDERFUL PEOPLE, YOU WANT TO WORK EVEN HARDER FOR THEM.”

75 and focused impact on key elements, like the main staircase with its patinaed railing (achieved by a collaborative design with artisan Jeff Morris). By placing orders months in advance, the team avoided the supply chain delays that ensnared so many projects during the pandemic. “We finished on time and on budget, which is a testament to our collective organization and communication,” Roy said. By design, the home fulfills not only the couple’s dreams, but also their dogs’. Adopting an upside-down layout, the upstairs living areas are encircled in a wraparound porch that encourages the pups to sun come summertime.

ABOVE Involved from the start, WCDG helped define the exterior of chief cliff stone and reclaimed siding, materials seamlessly carried through inside.

The dream extends to the team too. Reflecting on the experience, Roy likens visiting the job site to checking in with friends. “The clients didn’t want to be involved with micromanaging. They knew they had hired the right team. We all took enormous pride in the project.” Walls echoes the sentiment from the angle of client appreciation. “When you have clients who are wonderful people, you want to work even harder for them.”

The guest cabin offered an opportunity to exercise ingenuity. “Working on a smaller scale can be more exciting,” DePree says. “Everything needs to work together. The architecture must be absolutely seamless in terms of experiencing indoors and out.” In situ, the Wilson jewel box melds historic and modern references. “The architecture drew inspiration from local examples of historic cabins as well as the client’s experience of modern living,” DePree says.

Ajewel box home wraps a gem of a residence, rich with custom finishes and luxurious materials, within a small footprint—a perfect example of which now lives on the Westbank. With architecture by Northworks Architects and interiors by WRJ Design, the guest cabin maximizes every inch of its 1,000 square feet, from the built-in utility niches flanking the king bed to the antique pine cabinet, deep with storage, that doubles as a bar. Such articulate amenities stem from the relationship WRJ Founders Rush Jenkins and Klaus Baer had forged with the client, a family with plans to build a compound on the Westbank. Having already refreshed the interior design of the existing log house, WRJ introduced the clients to Northworks when talk turned to guest quarters. “The beauty of this project was that we worked hand-in-hand with the client, WRJ and the landscape architect from day one,” says Northworks founding partner Austin DePree. “That kind of close collaboration yields the best results.”

SOPHISTICATED FORMS MEET SUPREME FUNCTION

“THIS PROJECT SPEAKS OF OUR CLIENTS THROUGH ITS WONDERFUL BLEND OF CONTEMPORARY AND TRADITIONAL.” —RUSH JENKINS, WRJ DESIGN 77 homesteadmag.com

The culinary alcove adjoining the living space is able to do double duty (as kitchen and dining area) thanks to the live-edge walnut table custom made locally. Brazilian chairs accompany the sculptural table.

The footprint of the cabin is classic, as realized by OSM Construction: a peaked great room anchors the core structure, with paneled doors opening onto the northern deck and towering plate-glass windows overlooking the southern expanse (a solid brass chandelier with carved lead crystal shades by Jonathan Browning Studios crowns the vaulted space). The kitchen lies just beyond the foyer and serves as a dining area as well with a live-edge walnut table as island. Sleeping areas bookend the great room: the primary suite to the east and a bunk room for their teen boys to the west. “For a cabin of this size, there is a tremendous amount of living space,” Jenkins says. Amid clean, modern lines and airy serenity, the client welcomed a mountain ethos through materials: barnwood siding, timber beams, reclaimed oak floors. Within this rustic framework, contrasting finishes soften the space: shiplap paneling covers the ceilings and Mediterranean plaster coats the walls. Such juxtapositions have become a hallmark of WRJ interiors, like the guest house Jenkins and Baer designed for themselves in the Gill Addition, which the clients wanted to reference in their own guest quarters.

The antique pine cabinet, set up as a bar, epitomizes the priority applied throughout the cabin of incorporating storage whenever— subtly, sophisticatedly—possible.

“Guest houses require a level of thought and intention that goes hand-in-hand with the size of the space,” Jenkins says. “We set out to achieve a juxtaposition of rustic and contemporary and an overall quiet, Zen-like ambiance.”

Loro Piana drapes and automated solar shades temper the towering windows. “The textures envelope you in a luscious way,” Jenkins says. Drawing inspiration from travel, Jenkins adapted a bedside niche he adored in a Parisian hotel to suit the primary suite.

88 HOMESTEAD CHARITY EVENT THE ART OF LIVING:

Simultaneously expressive and communicative, art and architecture work together to grace our world with beauty in form and function. During the Jackson Hole Fall Arts Festival, architecture, building and interior design get their due with the annual Jackson Hole Showcase of Homes tour, hosted by Homestead magazine. A local fundraiser for charities of the homeowners choices, it is a one-day, self-guided tour. A home in this outpost of the West, when thoughtfully executed, can be an ode to nature and living the aesthetic life. To take in what might be possible with the Jackson Hole Showcase of Homes is to take in a whole separate genre of art that is embodied using space and Alocation.rchitects, builders, designers and the myriad of craftsmen who come together to create these masterpieces join the homeowners who generously open their doors to the public, setting this Showcase of Homes apart from others. Once on the property, a walk-through is made special with the input of the professionals who brought the home to life. More than a simple home tour, this is an immersive experience. Getting into the finer details of home design can lay bare a multitude of questions, and how often do we get to ask those questions of the architect responsible? Architect Brian Messana of the New York City firm Messana O’Rorke was present to discuss his design during the most recent Showcase, “We wanted to site the home toward the view of the Tetons, but we also have Sleeping Indian to consider. We wanted to create something that felt like it was always here, so the scale and materials needed to feel organic. The vocabulary of the exterior is very basic and echoes the simplicity of those early settlers here. Back then it was all about best use.”

The home in question is a study in minimalism, and the way the lines are affected by this aesthetic brings forth a clean and simple elegance. The space can be shared by the occupants with options for private and communal moments. This is the Western modern movement on display at its finest. Located on a bluff 500 feet above the valley floor, featuring sweeping views of the Tetons, the Peace of Jackson home was designed with a wellness focus. Implementing a biophilic design concept means establishing connectivity to the natural environment using space and place. Local firm Rendezvous Design’s principal, Patricia Kennedy, has used the biophilic philosophy as inspiration for her Interiors for Wellness™ approach. With Interiors for Wellness™, Kennedy elevates the daily living experience by bringing touchpoints for our five senses into the fold.

THE JACKSON HOLE SHOWCASE OF HOMES

ABOVE Touring through each piece of the home with the architect serving as docent gives the exploration memorable value. “The space unfolds before you, with surprises that makes the home feel larger than it is,” says Messana. The lines of the home echo a stylized consistency that becomes instantly familiar, never distracting from the view that compelled the homeowner to select the location.

LEFT During the Showcase of Homes, Patricia Kennedy is on hand to offer the brilliant details of how Interiors for Wellness™ accentuates the home environment.

During the time in which summer morphs into fall, Jackson Hole comes alive with art and a celebration of the town’s Western lifestyle. By participating in the Jackson Hole Showcase of Homes, the guest gains access into private residences that are a result of careful design considerations.
