Designed with Spirit

“For a house in Jackson, Wyoming’s Shooting Star community, the juxtaposition between drama and tradition is as deftly handled as its relationship to the Teton Mountains. Combining steel beams and expanses of glass with rugged stone and reclaimed timber, JLF Architects worked with design-build partner Big-D Signature to create a house that welcomes, embraces, and surprises, with a commanding presence that also celebrates the architecture’s mountain setting,” writes Western Art & Architecture in a cover story for the August/September 2023 issue. “The clients came to us with a fairly robust program to make a family retreat, and they wanted something that would fit into the neighborhood in terms of texture but had more of a contemporary feel,” explains Logan Leachman, partner at JLF, to the magazine about the Jackson Hole project.
