Reaching the Heights

“JLF Architects is the genius that designed a house that emerges from arches of aspen trees and a base of brush and grasses like an organic expression of its stirring Jackson Hole, Wyoming, landscape.” So begins the coverage of the Aspen Meadows house project in the 2024 HOME issue of Big Sky Journal. The new-build project was created by a design-build collaboration among JLF, Big-D Signature, and WRJ Design – an effort that “ensures the team lives and breathes the same desire: to create a house,” the article continues, “that brings beauty to its dwellers and its regional setting.” JLF partner Logan Leachman discusses the basics of a design process that results in a legacy home like Aspen Meadows. “So much of what we try to do, and what I believe we accomplished here, is to pull forms apart,” he tells the magazine, to build “a series of smaller structures within a larger structure that meets our clients’ needs.”
