Mountain Peek is a custom residence located within the Yellowstone Club in Big Sky, Montana. The layout of the home was heavily influenced by the site. Instead of building up vertically the floor plan reaches out horizontally with slight elevations between different spaces. This allowed for beautiful views from every space and also gave us the ability to play with roof heights for each individual space. Natural stone and rustic wood are accented by steal beams and metal work throughout the home. (photos by Whitney Kamman)

Minimalist Lines & Unobstructed Sightlines This view from the upper landing emphasizes the home’s commitment to light and transparency. By replacing traditional heavy balusters with a high-tension cable system, the design opens up the second floor, allowing natural and recessed light to flow freely between levels. Design Highlights: Modern Cable Guardrail: The stainless steel cable system features sleek, low-profile horizontal lines that offer maximum safety while maintaining a "barely-there" visual presence. Architectural Metalwork: The brushed silver posts provide a sturdy, geometric frame that leans into a sophisticated Modern Industrial aesthetic.Neutral Palette for Maximum Light: The use of warm-toned off-white walls and crisp white trim allows the metallic finishes and wood accents to pop, creating a bright and airy transition zone. Seamless Transition: The railing continues from the staircase onto the landing, creating a cohesive, professional look that wraps around the architectural void. Strategic Lighting: Well-placed recessed LED lighting eliminates shadows in the stairwell, highlighting the clean finish of the materials and the precision of the cable installation.

Created a multi-level outdoor living space to match the mid-century modern style of the home with upper deck and lower patio. Porcelain pavers create a clean pattern to offset the modern furniture, which is neutral in color and simple in shape to balance with the bold-colored accents.

Architectural Openness & Modern Industrial Lines This upward-looking perspective captures the home's striking multi-level connectivity. By utilizing "see-through" materials and bold structural elements, the design maintains an airy, expansive feel while moving between the social kitchen and the private upper floors. Design Highlights: Cable Railing System: The use of a modern cable railing with slim stainless steel posts and horizontal tension cables provides a secure barrier without obstructing sightlines, perfect for maintaining an open-concept atmosphere. Decorative Wood Beams: Large-scale exposed wood ceiling beams bridge the gap between floors. Their warm, natural finish echoes the rift-oak kitchen cabinetry below, creating a consistent design thread throughout the vertical space. Integrated Lighting Design: A series of recessed LED pot lights are strategically placed to illuminate both levels, ensuring the stairwell and upper landing feel bright and welcoming at all times. Clean Geometry: The sharp white bulkheads and neutral wall tones provide a "blank canvas" that allows the architectural metalwork and organic wood textures to stand out as primary design features. Modern Industrial Fusion: The combination of natural wood and high-grade stainless steel cables leans into a sophisticated Modern Industrial aesthetic that feels timeless and high-end.
