CABIN CONTEMPLATION
Paying homage to the area’s 19th-century homesteaders, this Montana house, built with OSM Construction, embraces a cabin-in-the-woods serenity. The dense forest location amid towering lodgepole pines and use of hand-hewn timbers reclaimed barn wood, fieldstone and limestone combine with a multiple-rooflines design to suggest an original structure evolving over generations. Oversize steel and glass windows provide a contemporary element in a house that nonetheless retains a humble quality that resonates with an approachable style.
