This mountain home, set on the edge of the Gallatin River, was designed with a strong mining theme, calling upon historical influences to shape its form and materials. The verticality of the forms allows the mass to tie it into the dense mature pine forest surrounding. The home site is accessed via crossing an old military bridge that spans the Gallatin River then following a meandering drive through the forest, eventually opening up to the Altman Mineshaft compound.
