Inspired by Place
Dina had Patno Construction put a climbing wall on the back of her new home. On a small lot in East Jackson, the 2,200-square-foot home, clad in easy-to-maintain black corrugated metal and sheets of galvanized metal, was designed by Carney Logan Burke.
A YEAR AGO I was putting the finishing touches on a new home, picking paint colors and doing little things (like installing toilet paper holders and mirrors) that didn’t require the professional skills of my contractor’s crew. Although the process of building a home from scratch, even when working with crews as talented as those at Carney Logan Burke and Patno Construction, was terrifying, stressful, and, ultimately, wonderfully rewarding, in the last half-year I’ve learned it’s nothing compared to reimagining a magazine. Transitioning Teton Home & Living into this inaugural issue of Range kept me up more at night—both with worry and excitement—than did the decisions of whether I should splurge on wasabi-green glass subway tiles for my kitchen backsplash and go for a giant mandarin orange wall in the living room. (And those were big decisions.) Few times in an editor’s—and art director’s— career does one get the chance to start from scratch, but that was the opportunity given to
me and Colleen Valenstein. Both of us being architecture- and design-minded, we took on the task with gusto, and with the goal of creating the most compelling, helpful, interesting, and fun home magazine this valley has ever seen. Colleen and I both have our own distinct aesthetic. We started from there and then reached out to the valley’s architects, designers, art dealers, and tastemakers to make sure we covered as many different styles and opinions as possible. Throughout this issue, and going forward, every home written about, every product mentioned, and every personality interviewed are included for one major reason: they are awesome. Joohee Muromcew sat down with Agnes Bourne (“Rooms, Always with a View,” p. 44) for this issue because Agnes has been a leading figure in interior design since the 1970s. Writer Julie Kling looks into Loll Designs (p. 40) because I’ve been seeing more and more of these pieces popping up on valley decks and have been amazed at how well they hold up against our RANGE ISSUE ONE 6
elements (and how good they look). We got architect Brad Hoyt to open his Wilson home (“A Lesson in Contrasts,” p. 50) to us because we think we’re only going to be seeing more and more of the melding of traditional and contemporary demonstrated in his remodel. When you’ve worked your way through our freshman issue, please check in with us at rangejh.com and also on Facebook. We’d love to hear your feedback, and hopefully you’ll also want to check in for hints on what the next issue is about. I hope you enjoy this issue as much as I do my green subway tiles and orange wall.

MARIAM DIEHL Owner/founder Diehl Gallery
By Dina Mishev ∙ Photography by David Agnello A NEW YORK TRANSPLANT, Irish-Iraqi Mariam Diehl bought Meyer Gallery in 2005 after working there for three years. At the time, the gallery represented only traditional western and wildlife artists. In the decade since, the horse lover—Mariam was formerly a volunteer officer with New York City’s Parks Enforcement Patrol Mounted Unit who has since transitioned to riding in the area’s backcountry—has not only renamed the gallery but also transformed it. Today, it is one of the valley’s most contemporary galleries, representing artists from Kate Hunt to Gwynn Murrill and traveling to national exhibitions like Chicago’s SOFA. With husband (and contractor) Scott Diehl, she has also fully remodeled an early 1980s log-faced duplex (it had plywood walls and ceilings when they bought it!) into a stunning contemporary mountain home overlooking the Snake River. Here, in her own words, Mariam shares some of the designs that inspire her signature style.
5. Wingback Chair
1 / MY COLLECTION OF ABBY PAFFRATH HATS
I love to wear a big, feathered headdress every once in a while! Jackson-based artist Abby Paffrath creates everything from paintings to batik to feathered hats, which I love most of all. I can visit her studio [above Pinky G’s Pizzeria] and select the feathers myself. I bought my first—a charcoal gray pinstripe wool fedora with pheasant and peacock feathers—at the Snow King Christmas Bazaar years ago and have since bought three more. All fedoras. That’s my perfect hat. Although I once brought her a Panama hat bought in Ecuador and asked that she make it beautiful for me. Since I’m an art dealer, my job affords me the ability to wear beautiful, feathered hats to work. If I were a carpenter, it might not work quite so well. From $45, abbypaffrath.com, 307/413-3566
2 / MONICA AIELLO’S PELE WEST PAINTING
What looks like an abstract painting at first glance is really a landscape of Io, one of Jupiter’s four Galilean moons. Monica herself is smart as a whip—she gets the imagery she works from from NASA and has collaborated with that agency to develop a science and art curriculum for elementary school kids—and I love having a science-based piece of art smack in the middle of my living room. From $1,500, Diehl Gallery, diehlgallery.com, 307/733-0905
3 / A MARK PYNN-DESIGNED SUNSHADE
This giant, organic sunshade doesn’t have a single right angle on it. It was added onto a house in John Dodge after the original structure—also without any right angles—was built, and was done so thoughtfully. To me it has a slight Moroccan influence, although I’m not sure that was the architect’s intent. And I love that my husband built it. He’s a master craftsman and did a magnificent job on a complicated project.
4 / ANGO’S CASCADE SUSPENSION LIGHT
I get goose bumps when I look at this chandelier. First, who on Earth makes chandeliers out of raw silk cocoons? It’s brilliant. And gorgeous. I love the texture and the organic, natural look. It’s a clean white color and beautifully symmetric and casts the most wonderful shadows at night. When I look at it, I think of little butterflies emerging from their cocoons. From $2,300, angoworld.com
5 / LEE INDUSTRIES WINGBACK CHAIRS
Secretly in some tiny, hidden part of one’s brain, who doesn’t covet hot pink chairs? Jen Visosky [Grace Home Design] upholstered these chairs in two different fabrics from Designers Guild: solid, hot pink velvet on the front and a colorful Christian Lacroix fabric on the back. The latter has prints on it that give a nod to the West. $4,500, Grace Home Design, gracehomedesign.com, 307/733-9893 11

1 1 / SWEET SCENT
“There’s a lot of chemistry involved,” says Candy Howe, the founder of Jackson-based The Grand Candle Company. For nearly two years now, Howe—“I love to be surrounded by aroma all day long”—has been working on the perfect candle. Her definition of perfect? Eco-friendly, no carcinogenic ingredients, no GMO ingredients, phthalate-free fragrances, and a range of soft to strong scents that evoke memories of Jackson Hole. We’d say she has achieved perfection. Her hand-poured, pure soy candles, all with 100 percent cotton wicks, capture the aromas of the valley. Saddle Up—“it’s a western-guy’s guys candle,” Howe says—is a leather saddle in a jar. New this spring are flowering dogwood and pomegranate. Favorites are sagebrush, autumn hike, Teton pine, vanilla bean, and lilac. They’re also beautiful; her dyes are understated (you
can also get every scent un-dyed). And they’re practical: the candles, which are 12.5 or 20 ounces in glass jars, have pine lids that allow for easy stacking in your linen closet. Depending on its scent, a 12.5-ounce candle burns for between fifty and sixty-five hours. Finally, they’re affordable. From $25, available at the National Museum of Wildlife Art, Lucky You, Jackson Whole Grocer, and online at jhmarketplace.com and thegrandcandlecompany.com
2 / STEAK STYLE
No longer are perfect grill marks enough on steaks, chops, chicken breasts, and even zucchini. At least not in the Tetons. Welder Barbara Gentry has taken the elegant outline of the Tetons she designed and turned it into a brand (she previously used the design on key rings, pendant necklaces, ornaments, and napkin rings). Made RANGE ISSUE ONE 12
entirely of stainless steel, the brands come with either a Wyoming or an Idaho profile of the Tetons and are welded to a shaft with an elkantler handle. Gentry can adorn the shaft with pi stones, African trade beads, and pheasant or grouse feathers. Or you can keep it simple. If the Tetons aren’t personal enough, Gentry does custom brands, too. $145-$195, blytheliving.net, Mountain Man Toy Shop, and Belle Cose
3 / WHAT’S YOUR SIGN?
While it already has the bronze Isis and a small herd of stampeding buffalo, this spring and summer the Sculpture Trail at the National Museum of Wildlife Art will also feature Ai Weiwei’s Circle of Animals/Zodiac Heads.

We must admit we can’t help but snicker when we write Big Ass Fans, the name of the company that makes our new favorite fan, the Haiku with SenseME. The Haiku is nothing to laugh at, though. It’s the first fan that has a thermostat. Kind of. Two years in the making, its SenseME technology recognizes when you walk into or leave a room, automatically turning Haiku on or off. SenseME also monitors the room’s temperature and humidity and adjusts the fan when conditions change. SenseME is so smart it eventually learns your comfort preferences and tailors fan-speed adjustments to your fav. The Haiku’s looks match its brains: simple, sleek,
Handmade in Paris, the Astier de Villatte glazed terra cotta pottery available at Twenty Two Home is perfect for Jackson Hole hosts and hostesses looking for a stylish mix of organic and modern. Inspired by simple eighteenth- and nineteenthcentury designs—but brought into the twentyfirst century by being dishwasher safe—each piece is hand-rolled, -pressed, -molded, and -glazed and has its own distinct character. The clean white glaze is the perfect neutral finishing touch. If you don’t want (or can’t afford) a whole dinnerware set, there are serving bowls you can use as accent pieces. Bowls from $180, plates from $95, 45 E. Deloney Ave. 13
6 / THE PERFECT POUR-OVER
Is it art or science? One sip of a cup of coffee made in the new Ratio Eight and you’ll just call it genius. Elegantly beautiful genius. Form equals function in this machine: the Ratio Eight’s die-cast aluminum body is produced with the tightest tolerances, down to a tenth of a millimeter. Mix this aluminum—it has a satin nickel ceramic finish—with Oregon-sourced black walnut support arms, and the result is nothing short of sculptural. The carafe? Like the machine’s water tank and supply lines, it’s hand-turned from lab-grade borosilicate glass for maximum durability and a beautiful view of your brew. Of course, the carafe seals shut with an all-natural cork stopper; the same cork is on the underside of the machine, ensuring it stays put on your countertop without scratching it. $480, ratiocoffee.com

Have you seen how much outdoor furniture can cost? We were despondent our deck would remain standing-room-only until finding IKEA’s PS VÅGÖ chair. Amazingly, it’s even more stylish than it is affordable. (Since it’s only $29.99, that’s really saying something.) It’s also well-designed: it stacks for easy storage, there’s a hole in the seat for water drainage, and it’s plastic so you can wipe it down with a cloth. Also, it is comfortable to sit on and comes in fun colors that change with the season. (Right now we’re into the simple white.)

We prefer simpler: Humanscale’s Float Desk comes in four sizes, has a 20-inch height range (27 to 47 inches), and it’s nearly effort-free to adjust. Sure there are sexier stand-ups out there, but we’re of the mind that a well-designed mechanical adjustment system means there’s one less thing to break.

couldn’t find anything that spoke to him. Rice had worked with photographers whose work he loved and had also worked with artists on top sheet designs for his snowboards. Yet those kinds of artists didn’t have any larger opportunities to sell their work; if you liked the style of snowboard artist Jamie Lynn, you couldn’t get a limited lithograph by him, you’d have to hang one of his boards on your wall. But thanks to Rice and friend and artist Mike Parillo, now you can. The pair founded Jackson-based Asymbol—the name comes from “assembly” and “symbol”—gallery. The gallery carries the work of a couple of dozen artists and photographers, including Lynn, with their work applied to everything from fine art prints to phone cases and sweatshirts. 50 W.

MUST HAVE
ANIMAL HEADS Whether or not they are real, “mounts are part of the West,” says Mountain Dandy co-owner John Frechette. Their popularity has led to interpretations from the traditional to the absurd—giving us styles for every home in Jackson Hole. As Frechette says: “There are a lot of folks who love the idea, but don’t actually want an animal looking down on them while they entertain in their living room. That is where more artful designs can fill the gap.”
By Julie Kling
BRONZE BEAUTIES
* San Francisco-based Ashley Tudor often comes to Jackson Hole’s Fall Arts Festival fresh from hunting in Idaho. The artist and wild game chef, whose work hangs in WRJ Design, goes for deer, antelope, and elk, which she then turns into refined and bronzed European-style or skull mounts. She also makes custom mounts for hunters who want to personalize their trophies. “The solid bronze skulls that are polished to perfection are incredibly striking and dramatic,” says Rush Jenkins, who co-owns WRJ with Klaus Baer. “Whether your house is contemporary, traditional, or rustic western, they work as a contemporary sculpture within the room.” From $22,000, 30 South King Street
HUMOROUS HEADS
THE REAL DEAL
— Not to be confused with “What The F***,” WFT is White Faux Taxidermy. The Utah company’s website sells heads from bison to moose, bear, wolves, giraffes, rhinos, and zebras. For those with a sense of humor, they also do jackalopes, great white sharks, unicorns, and T.rex. Almost all of the company’s resin heads come in an assortment of hand-painted colors—a turquoise T.rex would look great in your guest bedroom. Or, design your own color scheme, such as pink antlers on a gold moose head or a unicorn with a glittered horn. From $99, whitefauxtaxidermy.com
— Taxidermist Blake Jacobson and his brother have witnessed an increase in demand for authentic mounts since they began burning the midnight oil to stretch hides as a side job thirty-five years ago. The Jacobsons quit the roofing business in the early ’90s to become full-time taxidermists. “In the olden days you’d see a mount hanging in a restaurant or bar, and they were almost scary,” he says. “Now, it’s become such an art that people have become more receptive to it.” From $525; Jake’s Midnight Taxidermy, 131 Triple J Road, Irwin, Idaho, 208/483-2650

ARMED ANIMALS
* Peter Gronquist takes real mounts, including Cape buffalo, pronghorn, wildebeests, cows, deer, and elk, and accessorizes them. Accessories include spray-painted fake machine guns and rifles—affixed to an animal’s head in place of horns—gold antlers, and/or fashion labels. We mean the latter literally: he has put labels from Chanel, Gucci, and Yves Saint Laurent onto his animals. From $8,000, petergronquist.com
SKULL AND BONES For a rustic European mount, look into Owen Mortensen’s work at Twenty Two Home on the Town Square. Mortensen’s mounts are influenced by two contemporary European artists, Andy Goldsworthy and Chris Drury, and Style Jackson Hole founder and designer Danette Burr says they work well in everything from traditional log homes to “organic modernism.” From $750, 45 East Deloney
Royal Pedigree
If you are looking for the convergence of art and antiques, the WRJ Design showroom has stag mounts from imperial hunts embellished with military regalia and family crests from the King of Prussia. The gallery’s collection includes red stags from Kaiser Wilhelm II and fallow deer bearing the coat of arms of King George III of England. “The royal mounts are quite collectible,” says WRJ Design co-owner Rush Jenkins. “I would expect to see these in homes of individuals that want to have a very rare and unique mount within their collections.” From $30,000, 30 South King Street
Country Clubbers Wrapped in preppy Pendleton printed blankets, the faux animal heads made by Benny Gold and sold at Mountain Dandy are perfect for modernizing the traditional. “The contemporary flair of them against the wood of a log home is striking,” says Dandy’s John Frechette. Have a kid’s room that needs a head? Stroll across the alley to Made, Mountain Dandy’s sister store (Frechette and partner Christian Burch co-own both). There you’ll find mounts made out of recycled sweaters. You’ve never fully appreciated a moose until you’ve seen one made from a knitted sweater. From $900 (recycled sweater mounts start at $48), in Gaslight Alley (125 North Cache), 307/690-0606 17

THE AMK RANCH
This rustic retreat on the shore of Jackson Lake has evolved with the valley.
By Rachel Walker
THE YEAR WAS 1890, and John Dudley Sargent, who came to the valley from Maine, was putting the finishing touches on a ten-room log cabin on his homestead. (He built such a large home because he had plans to run a dude ranch or a roadhouse.) On the eastern shore of Jackson Lake, his homestead was one of the most beautiful in the valley: to the east, it was bordered by a bay and, looking west, there were stunning panoramas of the Tetons. Sargent called the place “Merymere.” Merymere’s lodge was far less remarkable than its location. The architecture was simple and utilitarian. It had a sod roof and low ceilings. The several outbuildings weren’t any more inspired. But the architecture wasn’t why Merymere never flourished as a business. Sargent was violent and unstable. Even his wealthy family back east couldn’t stand him; they paid him to move west. Here he was suspected of murdering his first wife and also his business partner. RANGE ISSUE ONE 18
Despite his deplorable character, we owe Sargent thanks. His homestead is today the AMK Ranch Historic District. Including seventeen buildings on a 268-acre peninsula north of Colter Bay in Grand Teton National Park, this land— had Sargent not homesteaded it—would have become part of the Yellowstone Park Timber Land Reserve in 1891 and been off-limits to development. Instead, after Sargent’s death, the property passed through several owners, each of whom built their own lodges. More worthy of the homestead’s natural beauty, today these lodges are considered to be some of the best-preserved examples of rustic architecture in the region. William Lewis Johnson, a retired executive from the Hoover Company, bought the property in 1926 as a vacation retreat. He and his wife built

John Dudley Sargent originally homesteaded the property in 1890.
the two-story Mae-Lou Lodge. Two-story homes were unique at the time; Mrs. Johnson requested a second story because she feared grizzly bears might attack the first floor. Mae-Lou was built in the Rocky Mountain rustic style, using round logs with saddle-notched corners and tapered ends, knotty pine paneling, purled log brackets and stair banisters, and wrought-iron hardware, and included massive stone fireplaces. Between 1927 and 1931, Johnson added more buildings: an attached barn and garage, various outbuildings, and three cabins relocated from the nearby Hogan homestead. The buildings are “perfect vernacular architecture,” says Grand Teton National Park cultural resources specialist Katherine Wonson. Alfred Berol bought the property in 1936 and
promptly renamed it AMK Ranch (AMK for the first letter of every family member’s name: Alfred and wife Madeleine had a son, Kenneth). Berol began importing the extravagant lifestyle afforded by his wealthy upbringing (his fortune came from the family’s Eagle Pencil Company). He started by hiring New York architect George Kosmak to design the opulent 5,200-square-foot Berol Lodge, complete with towering ceilings supported by heavy logs and large windows framing Jackson Lake and Mount Moran. The Berols later remodeled existing structures and added a pole and frame barn and a log tack cabin for their many horses. In 1968, they had a separate house built for longtime caretakers Slim and Verba Lawrence, who lived year-round at the ranch from 1930 to 1970. The Berols vacationed and entertained at the AMK until Alfred’s death in 1974. Two years later, Kenneth, executor of the estate, sold the ranch to the National Park Service for $3.3 million. In 1978, the NPS dedicated the ranch as a research station to be run by the University of Wyoming. Today you can visit the lodge, which remains a research station maintained and operated by the University of Wyoming and, in 1990, was added to the list of National Register of Historic Places. UW has a free summer seminar series at Berol Lodge that tackles topics from polar bears in the Arctic to global warming and Wyoming ungulates. You’re also free to stop by anytime to appreciate the architecture. “This is a vestige of an earlier time,” Wonson says. “It’s absolutely remarkable.” 19

TEN TIPS

THE PERFECT BBQ
By Joohee Muromcew ∙ Photography by Jeffrey Kaphan Summer barbecues are a way of life in Jackson, from everyday casual for a Tuesday family dinner to invitation-worthy events to plan in advance. Make them all memorable with these tips:
SET THE STAGE. Think about how and where your guests will enjoy their time in your home. Architect Peggy Gilday suggests a plan for the flow of indoor-outdoor entertaining. This includes everything from music to where the grill and powder room are located to protecting your guests from afternoon sun. Be strategic about placing canopies or umbrellas, or consider setting a table under a picturesque copse of trees for some gentle shading.
1 / POTLUCK-PERFECT. Some hosts love potluck. It takes the burden off of preparing the entire meal and often produces a wealth of tasty dishes. On the other hand, it can produce an unsightly array of travel-safe containers. Take a cue from event planners and set out your own trays and platters to take the place of those aluminum foil pans and Tupperware bins. A jumble of potluck cookies and brownies can take on dessert-cart appeal when neatly presented on stacked dessert towers, and those Tupperware containers can go right back home with your guests. Belle Cose, 48 East Broadway RANGE ISSUE ONE 20

CHARLIE THOMAS For this craftsman, it’s all about balance.
By Jeannette Boner ∙ Photography by David Stubbs

ARTISAN
IT WAS A ONE-HUNDRED-DOLLAR chair that carved out the career of Wilson-based craftsman Charlie Thomas. That was more than thirty years ago, and Thomas was without training and tools. Today, Thomas—his workshop is called Magpie Furniture—produces works of art that double as comfortable chairs, dining tables that can accommodate an extended family, or perfectly proportioned desks. “You need two things,” Thomas says of furniture making. “You have to be stubborn, and you have to have a lot of patience.” With those qualities Thomas has smoothed rough and unfinished canvases of walnut and cherry, spinning splitters into long, sturdy tabletops or delicate, hand-carved accents. Thomas has tamed piles of wood with a chisel and planer, every chink and click against the wood a perfect dovetailing of art and the mathematical demands of balance and shape. “People have a narrow view of creativity,” Thomas says. “I think a lot of creativity is found in figuring out solutions to a difficult problem. Each piece [of furniture] has a problem that needs to be solved and a lot of it is mathematical. I think creativity can be left-brained and right-brained. I like being challenged like that.” Thomas begins each piece with a pencil and a piece of graph paper. Sometimes he meets directly with clients, and other times he receives requests from interior decorators. Sometimes the order is about space, and other times it’s about taste. Every order, though, is about finding a solution. Thomas uses trigonometry to hit the delicate balance between form and function. He fits furniture into improbable spaces, like a desk bolted into a wall because there’s no room for legs. Getting the perfect length-to-weight ratio, he has also designed a stable three-legged table. “You are trying to solve a combination of function and beauty,” Thomas says. “Function is a given, but what’s the point if it’s not beautiful?” Thomas admits certain styles and periods of time have influenced what he considers beautiful. You may find an Asian influence in some of his work. In many pieces, he incorporates fluid movement, using shapes such as a carved leaf that appears to “blow” through a cabinet. He’s drawn to the styles of the 1930s and appreciates the great attention to detail those pieces hold. “I really like details. They become the focal point. A few quiet details that pop out— that’s my own personal taste.” While some see the deep cherry reds or the long grains of mahogany and fall in love with one of Thomas’ pieces, beauty is deeper for the craftsman. “So much of the beauty in furniture is in the balance of it,” Thomas says.

CELEBRATING THE SIMPLE FORM
I N PL ACE
Architects look at subtracting from rather than adding to the form of this home slated to be finished next summer.
By Lila Margaret BEFORE A HOUSE BECOMES a home—before fixtures are installed, before walls are painted, and before furniture, art, and people move in—it is a form. “Form develops throughout the design process,” says Eric Logan, a principal at Carney Logan Burke. “We strive to simplify. Simple forms seem more lasting in this landscape.” Simple forms might be more lasting, but, once a project is complete, they can also be underappreciated, even if they are what inform most everything that comes after.

With still a year of construction to go, there’s nothing to take attention away from the form of a Carney Logan Burke project off Spring Gulch Road. (Once a custom, purple twelve-by-fourfoot glass sculpture by Dale Chihuly is installed above the dining table, it will most likely steal much of the spotlight from the form.) Low and wide-slung, the 8,700-square-foot space has a “pull tab” in its otherwise traditional shed roof. Positioned in the ceiling above the main living area, the pop-up creates a dramatic spatial move in what will surely be one of the most used areas of the house. Seen from the exterior, the roof detail is suggestive of the views from the home’s interior. It is also functional: “It allows some southern light to penetrate these mainly northfacing living areas,” Logan says. While the “pull tab” roof feature is one of the most notable elements of this space’s form, the idea wasn’t there from the beginning. “Overall form has to adapt as the design develops,” Logan says. “In this project, the little carve-aways and the move on the roof happened as a response to what is going on inside.”

trying to be as close as it can be to the water,” Logan says. “The lake is a powerful piece that not every project gets to have on its property.” With the goal of keeping things as simple as possible, the roof detail is one of the few additive elements. The form is generally subtractive. “Rather than adding things to the shape, we carved it out,” says Kevin Burke, the firm’s managing partner. “The front porch doesn’t bump out, but comes in. The main covered terrace is subtractive of the main form, too.” Logan says, “Fewer forms and simpler forms get us further in the goal of making timeless architecture.”
The clients came to the firm with an idea of their home’s design. “At an early meeting, they drew their preconception of how the house would look,” Logan says. “Like a boomerang overhanging a lake already on the property.” The firm took that feedback and ran with it. The boomerang became more of what Logan calls “a broken horseshoe.” The inside of the horseshoe faces south, creating a protected outdoor space. Almost each area of the house has its own outdoor space. The lake nearly laps at the base of some of the outdoor areas on the horseshoe’s north-facing exterior. “The house is really

PALM SPRINGS By Dina Mishev
A TRAM, PACKED WITH VISITORS from around the world, climbs up the side of a snow-capped peak. From the top, you can see several other mountain ranges—some protected in a national park—rise in the distance. And then you can also see a giant wind farm, more golf courses than you can count, and sprawling development. California’s Coachella Valley has some things in common with Jackson Hole, but it’s more different than not. This is especially true when it comes to architecture and design. “I don’t think it has been calculated, but I think it’s safe to say that Palm Springs has the greatest concentration of midcentury architecture and examples of it across a variety of different structures,” says Robert Imber, a trustee of the California Preservation Foundation, a founding member of the Palm Springs Modern Committee, and founder and guide of Palm Springs Modern Tours, the first company in Palm Springs to begin offering architecture tours (back in 2001). A three-hour driving tour with Imber takes in homes by architects such as E. Stewart Williams, Richard Neutra, John Lautner, Donald Wexler, Albert Frey, William Krisel, and William Cody. “Other cities will have more midcentury buildings, but our collection is much more concentrated,” Imber says. While Palm Springs’ natural environment is decidedly different from Jackson Hole’s, the goal of the Desert Modern style—which grew to prominence in the 1940s and 1950s—is similar to that of some architects working in Jackson Hole today: creating understated structures that aesthetically unify architecture with the nature of the area. “The design and quality of work by talented and successful architects is always in response to its environment,” Imber says. “Jackson Hole and Palm Springs are one of those pairs of cities that are just enormously similar but completely different. You wear boots, and we wear thongs.” Here’s how to make the most of Palm Springs’ architecture and design scene—in your flip-flops—and maybe a few other fun things to do in the desert, too.

LOLL’S GOT MILK Go ahead and leave Loll Designs furniture outside all winter. These eco-friendly pieces are made from repurposed milk jugs and can withstand Jackson Hole’s crazy climate. And they look good.
By Julie Kling
41
DESIGN MILK JUGS, SKATE PARKS, AND ADIRONDACK CHAIRS have something in common: Loll Designs. The Duluth, Minnesota-based company initially repurposed milk jugs into Polyethylene sheets used for side panels in skate parks it designed and built. Somewhere along the way, Loll realized it could use the same sheets—which are ultradurable and withstand exposure to extreme elements—to make other stuff. They started with a cutting board. Today the company has switched entirely from skate parks to outdoor furniture. But they haven’t abandoned milk jugs. About eight recycled jugs go into every pound of weight in a typical Loll chair. Its most popular chair, the Flat Standard Adirondack, weighs forty to fifty pounds; that’s 320 to 400 milk jugs. With more than 450 skate parks under his belt, Loll Designs founder and CEO Greg Benson has confidence in his material and its ability to hold up in extreme weather. “It’s such a great material, we thought, ‘What smaller product could we make with this?’ ” Benson says. “So we started making cutting boards. Then we started
making chairs. We really launched a brand. With the resurgence in the modern aesthetic, the green movement, made in the USA, all those things, our timing was just good, and I think there was some luck.” By combining the skate-proof material with a sleek design, Benson, his brother, and another partner in Loll found their seat at the outdoor furniture table. “I really, truly wanted to make an iconic chair. There is something romantic about the Adirondack chair. But I wanted to make it unique.” The Flat Adirondack chairs and dozens of other designs, including a new Lollygagger Collection of low-to-the-ground lawn furniture, are all made for life outside. (Naturally, most of the chairs come equipped with a metal bottle opener under an armrest for ultimate lollygagging.) Architect Peggy Gilday, founding principal at Jackson’s Gilday Architects and the architect behind the recent Teton County Library expansion, was initially drawn to the “pop of color” and urban form of the fiery orange Loll Adirondack chairs she put on her back deck. “I love

the clean lines,” she says. “It is nice that it comes in different sizes and colors. It is comfortable, and it really holds you in.” But it was the furniture’s function that finally sold her. Loll is made for areas with harsh weather. Statement colors—sunset, leaf, sky, evergreen—are embedded into the material with a pigment that has UV protection to reduce the effects of the sun and help to deter fading. And the care instructions are simple: clean with soap and water. Jackson-based interior designer Shannon White says, “My favorite designs are those that start with a traditional silhouette, like the Lollygagger Collection, and are then edited to their simplest forms. The result with Loll is modern, vibrant, and fun. These pieces have a visual weight that holds its own against rustic mountain architecture, without feeling too heavy or bulky.” To Buy: lolldesigns.com; chairs from around $400; an “Outlet” section on the website offers discounts on older models, off-colors, scratched and dented pieces, and prototypes.

ROOMS, ALWAYS WITH A VIEW By Joohee Muromcew ∙ Photography by David Agnello (current home)
E
verything warm, intelligent, and inquisitive about the work of designer Agnes Bourne can be summed up by the sight of her daughter’s Jack Russell terrier mix, Capote, snoozing on a signature yakhair-covered chair. “He’s very smart and has a great sense of humor,” Bourne says by way of introduction. Capote raises an eyebrow as I lower myself onto the matching chair next to him. He assesses me with cautious approval and returns to his nap. These chairs, designed for Bourne by Coup D’Etat and made in San Francisco, are like characters in a story, and this home, Bourne’s fifth residence in Jackson and shared with husband Stuart Plummer, unfolds like a richly detailed chapter in a historical novel. Bourne’s first Jackson home was on Upper Cache Street and, like all of her subsequent homes
here, had stunning views. The great room faced the Tetons; side windows faced Cache Creek. Her next home afforded a larger living space, serving a growing number of visiting grandchildren, and was on a privileged inholding in the National Elk Refuge. Next was a showstopper property in East Jackson, a collaboration with architect Larry Berlin, a frequent partner and creative peer of Bourne’s. She describes that home as “a rare opportunity to personalize an already beautiful design.” The next project combined Bourne’s design work with her commitment to the artistic community. She developed an intimate work-live artists’ retreat—she called it the “Mighty Tiny House”—and made it available to artists-in-residence. In 2012, she moved into the current home, again in East Jackson. “I had been fascinated by a little private road that led to the
45
top of a butte above the valley floor,” Bourne says. “Finally, it [the house] became available, and I had the opportunity to refresh the entire interior. All surfaces, including cabinets, electrical, and plumbing, needed replacement as did the details of the exterior.” Bourne describes her in-town (but not downtown) location as “on the interface of the built world and the natural world.” The Elk Refuge and the Tetons spread majestically before the living room window, while Snow King’s Fourth of July fireworks explode in the westerly facing windows. “We have an eye on nature, but also a lot of human celebration,” she says. Also in view? Her previous four homes. Inside, the art and furnishings, many designed by Bourne, speak to her accomplished art and design career. Bourne’s undergraduate degree
In Agnes Bourne’s 7,000square-foot home on the Elk Refuge, “there was room for everyone,” she says. And everyone had a seat. In the family room (1) a brass chair by London artist Fynn Stone was child-sized. For adults, Bourne had Chevy chairs, an MG chair, and the Slope Arm Sofa, all of which she designed. The library (2) includes bookcases by Jackson’s BW Builders, the sculpture Boat by Kent Roberts, and a pair of Thonet chairs from Austria. The great room’s (3) cast polished aluminum table and tripod chairs are also by Stone, while the leather and linen day bed and the MG chair are from the Agnes Bourne Collection. The Raymond Saunders painting (4) is a portrait of Bourne, who is friends with the artist. The painting hung in the Whitney Museum before the artist added the spray paint in the bottom left corner; the sprayed squiggles are his interpretation of Bourne.

was in studio arts and psychology, and beyond her work designing homes and furnishings, she is also a highly respected lecturer and professor. Her sensibility is less of an interior designer striving for a perfect representation of her aesthetic and more of a youthful artist consumed with new materials and methods. “There are always lessons learned. I’m always experimenting,” she explains. Bourne was one of the first designers to embrace reclaimed wood as a building material—this back in the 1970s in the Bay Area, years before reclaimed wood and sustainable building practices became common vocabulary in the design world. Some things and many themes are a constant in her homes. Among the furnishings that have migrated with her are two “Chevy Chairs,” voluptuous leather armchairs with matching ottomans, in bolero red and nautilus blue, inspired by the 1955 Chevy Bel Air. The yak chairs favored by Capote are built on a metal armature with a stretchy membrane that feels custom-
made for each body it meets. The fireplace stone is the same stone as the Berlin-designed home’s exterior, which can be seen from the window by a treasured red desk created by Oregon artistdesigner Max Leiber. As for regrets, Bourne demurs, her bright blue eyes smiling behind red glasses: “Each house was perfect for the moment,” she says. Current projects include a film/book project with architect Tom Kundig and very selectively working with clients who strongly share her values and commitment to sustainable, highly creative design. One of the professional works Bourne is most proud of is “Building Better: A Book and Box System,” a proprietary written self-interview with which she begins the design process with clients. True to her foundations in studio arts and art history, she delves deep into the stories that will eventually inform a home. Page five of the questionnaire is titled “Collecting Memories.” It begins: “Experience is recorded through the senses. Favorite smells, sights, sensations, tastes,
“EACH HOUSE WAS PERFECT FOR THE MOMENT.” and sounds may be part of the core design, from the selection of the building site to the smallest final detail. Remembering the beauty of fresh apples in a bowl at your uncle’s lake house might bring refreshing color ideas to the new house. All sorts of memories inform your selections.” The entire master bedroom in Bourne’s house is painted sky blue, more specifically the blue of the west Jackson sky. The study is the slightly lighter, whiter blue of our eastern skies. These are memories Bourne finely captures in color and design even as they forever change outside.

In her current East Jackson home, the great room (1) includes bolero red Chevy Chairs, yak-fur chairs by Coup D’Etat, a cast aluminum crate, and a nautilus blue leather and linen loveseat. In the office (2), Bourne
designed the numbers cabinet console, and the steel Partners’ Desk with Noah’s Ark animals in silhouette is by Veronica DeRosa. “A totally blue room (3) that matches the blue sky seen from its window brings the outside in, refreshing and inspiring our spirits,” Bourne says. The blue is Benjamin Moore’s Blue Marguerite. 49

TIP If you’re doing a contemporary addition or building a contemporary home in an existing neighborhood, be cognizant of the surrounding buildings. “We had initially thought about contrasting the addition with the cabin even more by using exterior materials like metal panels or something, but decided it would be too jarring for the neighborhood, not respectful enough,” architect Brad Hoyt says. The clear cedar Hoyt and his wife ended up going with is both natural and contemporary.

“Leave money in your budget for furniture,” Hoyt says, “and for window treatments; they’re more expensive than you think.” The Hoyts are fine living without window treatments since there are no nearby neighbors that can see into the second story, “but they’d be nice to have,” Hoyt says. “Down-ups would be perfect—you could get privacy while maintaining views. Rollers are contemporary and would fit well, but drapes would warm the space up.”

T
he idea was that the forty-some-year-old, 800-square-foot log cabin on Second Street in Wilson would become a playroom for the Hoyt family’s two kids, ages three and seven. But now that there’s a 1,600-square-foot addition—most of it a new second story—that has an open kitchen/dining/ living area flooded with sunlight and with views down onto Fish Creek, the kids have mostly forgotten the cabin that until Christmas 2013 was their home. Architect Brad Hoyt bought the home a decade ago. “As an architect, if you’re going to live in something you didn’t do, an 800-square-foot cabin with a gabled roof and a porch on the front is perfect,” he says. But when the family of four needed more space, adding onto the cabin wasn’t a given. “We knew it’d be easier to sell it and buy something else,” says Hoyt, the founding principal of Hoyt Architects. “But it is nice to live in something you designed.”
Not that Hoyt knew what it was like to live in something he had designed. “I had never designed for myself,” he says. “Going into it, we knew doing the addition would be hard work, but by the end it was more rewarding.” From the earliest design ideas Hoyt considered, he knew the addition would be contemporary. “I didn’t want a near-miss. In my mind, you’d either have to mimic and blend the new structure or contrast it. We contrasted it and we drove that all the way through with every decision we made. If something was one way in the cabin, it was a different way in the addition.” Hoyt’s thinking—applying a contemporary structure to an existing one of an older style—isn’t new, although there are few, if any, purposeful examples of it to be seen in Jackson Hole. Such additions are called parabuildings: modern ticks on a postmodern host. One of the most famous examples of this is Chicago’s remodeled Soldier Field. Only because of its significantly smaller scale, Hoyt’s parabuilding isn’t as jarring as the juxtaposition of old and new at Soldier Field—that addition caused quite an uproar— but it’s still full of tension and energy. “People have reactions,” he says. “We see all kinds of expressions on the faces of people passing by. Some like it, some don’t, and that’s all right,” he says. “We’re thrilled with it.” 53
TIP Go for little splurges and be willing to compromise. “Most everything’s IKEA,” Hoyt says, “but we spent money on nice fixtures.” Initially the master bath did not include a bathtub—only a shower—but that was important to Brit, so they found room in the budget for it. “Our compromise was that she got the tub and I got a lift in the garage. If you can’t build a threecar garage, do up,” Hoyt says.
Opposite page top: The kitchen cabinetry and the stools at the island are all from IKEA. Countertops are Caesarstone. Opposite page bottom: In the master suite, a Craig Spankie mixed media piece (from WRJ Design) hangs above the dresser. Solid core birch veneer doors slide open to reveal the closet.
Rather than go for grandiose mountain views, which were an option, the couple went for maximum light. Hoyt says, “I asked my wife, Brit, what views she wanted to focus on, and she said she didn’t care about any of the views. ‘I want light,’ she said.” So the majority of the home’s windows face south. But there is a pair of corner windows in the master suite looking north and west, down to Fish Creek, which nearly flows through the backyard. “They give us nice connectivity to the creek, and sometimes we get to watch moose walk through the yard,” Hoyt says. Think a second floor packed with south-facing windows sounds like a sauna? “We had that thought, but it’s not hot at all in the summer, and we don’t have a single window treatment,” Hoyt says. “It’s more the west sun that kills everybody and we’re sheltered in that direction.” And then there’s the roof deck. Twenty-six feet above the ground and accessed via an exterior stairway off the kitchen area, it has 360-degree views. “Instead of looking at the neighbors’ houses, you can see Glory and the Grand, and that’s about as opposite from the cabin as possible,” Hoyt says.

TIPS Rooms with big windows framing big vistas can be intimidating. Using warm, natural materials—this home went with cedar, stone, bronze, mahogany cabinets, and dark, rich Iroko floors—makes interiors intimate. Fixtures as Art: Art doesn’t just have to be painting and sculpture. This home’s light, unobtrusive staircase is an attention grabber.

ess than a twenty-minute drive from Jackson Hole Mountain Resort and minutes from the Stagecoach Bar, where locals two-step to the Stagecoach Band every Sunday night, a pine-tree-lined road travels over a spring creek and dead-ends. Stepping out of the car, standing in front of a modern home protected by trees and sky, the first thing you notice is silence. Constructed of red cedar, Montana Frontier stone, and more twenty-four-foot-tall floor-toceiling windows than you can count, this seventhousand-square-foot home invites you inside but never ignores what is outside. Its southern end—where the living room, kitchen, and, upstairs, the master bedroom are—nearly abuts
eighty acres of open space. Here, wolves chase elk, coyotes pounce on mice, eagles dive for prey, fish rise for bugs, elk bugle, and moose dine on willows. “I feel like I have my own personal Serengeti,” says the owner, a longtime Jackson resident. Because the animals live in her backyard and often return to the same spots, she says she can almost name them. Creating this home, a family refuge as well as a prime post for wildlife theater, took time and mindfulness. “I like to live in a place for a while before I decide exactly how I want to live there,” the owner says. When she moved in fifteen years ago, the home was a traditional western one, made of cedar and with five river-rock fireplaces. After spending eight years in it, she had enough reasons to tear it down: it lacked natural flow, the kitchen was in the former garage, and most rooms ignored the stunning views. With the help of San Francisco architect Lorissa Kimm and Jackson contractor Bruce Bolden, the owner designed a home that takes advantage of the property’s natural beauty, appeals to her modern aesthetic, and stays within the original footprint. “I didn’t want to disturb the surrounding property,” the owner says. “There are geese that come every year to the same spot to have their babies, and I didn’t want to disrupt their habits.” Within the old footprint, the owner asked Kimm to design a modern home— lots of light and open spaces—that looked like it belonged in this valley and took advantage of the property’s natural and tranquil location. Two, two-story stone walls are a focus of Kimm’s design. “The stone walls ground the place to the earth,” Kimm says. Portals through these walls inspire the spaces and the flow of the home. “The way you move through this home is effortless, and you are always aware of the vistas,” she adds. Co-publisher of Vivant Books, an art collector, and a lover of architectural interior design, the owner says building her new home was much like creating one of her art books. “I see building a house much like making a book.

are all these different elements, all these different balls in the air,” she says. From choosing the materials to creating meaningful spaces to selecting the finishes and furnishings and being attentive to the land, there was a lot to juggle. “If you don’t catch them or a ball slips out of hand, the project is compromised.” Attention to simplicity and fine art can be seen throughout the home. The walnut dining table was custom-made locally by Charlie Thomas of Magpie Furniture. Above it hang numerous pendant lights of crystal and bronze, all at different lengths, by San Francisco lighting designer Jonathan Browning. “It has a looking-up-in-a-starry-sky effect,” Kimm says. Nearby a Tiffany vase sits on a vintage Biedermeier table. Adjacent to the table is a contemporary butterfly installation by New York artist Paul Villinski. Looking south, over the dining area and into the kitchen of granite counters, only a handmade Hawaiian bowl distracts from what the owner calls her Serengeti views. “So many nights I fall asleep listening to elk bugle,” the owner says. “And more times than not, I wake to the most amazing sunrise. It’s a wonderfully peaceful way to start the day.”

TIP
Bring the Outside In: A single Douglas fir informed the color palette in this home’s living room. The office space was inspired by the powerful energy of its view of the Grand Teton. Since the owner wanted a Zen-like experience in her master bedroom, she deliberately ignored the high-energy views of the Tetons and instead focused on the quieter “Serengeti” landscape to the south. The Zen feeling continues in the master bathroom, where a porcelain tub sits beside a window overlooking the forest.

HOME SWEET HOME
By Luther Propst, as told to Maggie Theodora ∙ Illustration by Walter Gerald THE MAJORITY OF OUR EVENING MEALS are out on our deck. It’s just so interesting seeing everyone. We’ll wave at people walking their dogs and bikers going by. One of the main reasons we bought and love our Elk Run place is that it’s on Flat Creek—or almost on Flat Creek. There’s our back deck, then the bike path, and then the creek. Maybe the creek is thirty feet from the deck. I know not everyone who lives around here loves the tubers who float the creek, but I think they’re great. We don’t face a flat, slow section
of the creek. At higher water, there’s a structure that was built to improve habitat and kids do wipe out going over it. All summer, we’ll watch kids fishing in the creek. Later in the summer, adults can fish, too. We see people practicing their casting and working the falls and holding waters. Sometimes they catch fish. Marathon runners pass by in September. Flat Creek and the pathways around it are kind of the mountain version of the promenades you have in towns and cities in Latin America and Spain.
