Carriage House

Tucked into a valley beside a river, this house is a contemporary interpretation of the classic mountain retreat. Designed for an architect, it takes a quiet, nuanced approach—pairing natural materials with sloping roof planes and expansive window bays to both frame and withstand the rugged alpine beauty of Ketchum, Idaho.

Site & Exterior

The residence is composed of multiple structures, each one oriented toward a different natural feature of the site: a grove of Aspen trees to the west, the Unnamed Butte to the north, and the Warm Springs Creek to the east. On the exterior, natural wood cladding pairs with board-and-batten detailing that shifts with the changing seasons. Inside, bald cypress siding wraps the walls and ceilings. In the dining room, floor-to-ceiling glass doors surround a monumental board-formed concrete fireplace, while flagstone floors lend an earthy texture.
