Inside a Remote Cabin Home Built At The Base Of A Mountain (House Tour)

Surrounded by mountains, Lone Pine by CLB Architect is a cabin home located in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. By embracing the remote landscape, the architects have delivered a cabin home that opens up to the scenic mountains, natural surrounds and a spring creek that native animals such a foxes, elks and deers visit.

When first coming up with the design of the family home, CLB Architects was faced with some design guidelines that prescribed that all the roofs in the subdivision needed to be gabled and have an overhang. However, after negotiating with the review committee, the architect was able to create a cabin home with deep recessed porches that created covered outdoor spaces to answer the design and decor guidelines.

The diagram of the home is inspired by an H shape. The built form is composed of two pavilions, one of which contains the public functions such as the kitchen, living and dining rooms, while the other pavilion holds the private bedrooms. Shown in the house tour, the two pavilions have been linked by a connector that also serves as the entry to the home. For the interior design of the cabin home, CLB Architects aimed to strike a balance between warm wood elements and smooth abstract plaster surfaces. For the material palette, the architect has chosen an array of custom decor details that enrich the home’s interior character. One such feature is leather accents that feature about the house in judicious ways to elevate the senses of touch and smell.

Playing an important part in the liveability of the residence is natural light. For Lone Pine, CLD Architects has embraced the wealth of natural light not just for warmth but for its ability to add drama and animation to the materials. Furthermore, the articulation of the exterior design of the cabin home encourages a natural and playful exchange of light and shadow that changes throughout the day. This is seen most evidently over the rear, covered porch that features a hole in the roof plain that allows the interchange of light and shadow. Further complementing the cabin home is the emphasis on indoor-outdoor living, an aspect that CLB Architects embrace throughout the entire home. This is shown in the main bedroom where the owners can step out and look at the ski report on the mountains and enjoy their morning coffee. In the dwelling’s structure, the architect has allowed for its owners a quality space that encourages indoor-outdoor connections during the warmer weather while, for the colder months, the interior design offers warmth and comfort. Built by CLB Architects, Lone Pine is the perfect city escape for its owners when they need a remote cabin home getaway.

  • Hillside Sanctuary

    The owner of this property came to Hoedemaker Pfeiffer looking for a personal retreat inspired by a home lost to fire decades earlier in the hills of Appalachia. The firm’s task was not to recreate that home but rather to give its spirit new form in the Pacific Northwest. Taking inspiration from its remote site in the San Juan Islands, our team envisioned a series of simple stone volumes. From that concept emerged the main house and a guest house, each responding to its own unique location on the site. Together they provide friends and family with comfortable accommodation while offering a sanctuary for the owner at the main home. Taking full advantage of sweeping views of Puget Sound, the main home is sited on a small plateau high on top of a steeply-sloping hillside. With a view on one side and a road on the other, the site suggested a stone plinth and stone wall to form the base and rear of the house. A pair of stone fireplace volumes support the concept, rising together to form the boundaries of a central stone staircase that separates the main level into public and private realms. Atop the low stone base then perches a light-filled wood structure. Its simple shed roof tips low in front to protect from the summer sun while offering space for a photovoltaic array above. Winter light in turn penetrates deep into the main living spaces through a wall of glass running continuously across building’s south elevation. The relative height difference between this wood pavilion and that of the adjacent stone volume also allows consistent north light to flood into the primary living spaces via a series of clerestory windows, which release warm air high on the leeward side of the structure. The site for the guest house came with more significant technical challenges. The concept begins with a stone tower set near the center of the small circular parcel. Rising high above steeply-sloping grade, it acts as a three-dimensional datum through which feature program elements are allowed to puncture. The main entry offers ease of access to the project’s public spaces through a simple, full-height opening cut into the stone volume’s north elevation. The stair, comprised of a concrete base below large casement windows, allows natural light to fill the main stairway as it leads guests toward the bedrooms located at the home’s lower level. Opposite the entry, the view deck extends from the great room, cantilevering far above grade. The dining room, finally, was conceived as a three-sided glass object floating in a forest of trees. Two steel beams carry its entire weight and extend deep into the floor system. To enhance the concept, our team preserved trees only a few feet from the dining room by developing custom retaining walls capable of avoiding critical root zones.
