DESIGN ANALYSIS

HOW THE DESIGN EMBODIES THE REGION

HOW DOES IT CONNECT CULTURALLY, MATERIALLY AND PHYSICALLY TO THE COMMUNITY AROUND IT?

Materially, the stone and wood is utilized in a way the connects with the surrounding environment and highlights the natural elements. The massing is built in to the adjacent hillside giving it a greater connection to the earth with a walk out green roof. Sloping roof lines slope out to the direction of Lone Peak providing a connection point through the interior view.

HOW DOES THE BUILDING OR SITE SERVE THE COMMUNITY IN DIVERSE WAYS?

The building does not necessarily serve the community however it is a part of the Moonlight Basin Community that governs the architectural style and allowences. By deisgning by these guidelines its ensures the aestheics, sustainability and other properties are in keeping with community guidelines and compliment the local style. Due to the influx of toursim in Montana the emergence of modern styles is reflected in much of the designs. This offers a new perspetive to the “Mountain Modern” aesthetic while keeping with natural materiality.

WHAT ROLE DOES IT PLAY IN THE PROMOTION OF ALTERNATIVE AND HUMAN POWERED TRANSPORTATION

The city of Big Sky is not very walkable, with most errands a car is needed. The Moonlight Basin Resort where my site is located has many trails and hiking opportunities that cater to the residence. My site in particular has direct access to a hiking trail via the green roof. Residence navigate the community via golf carts, car, and walking.
