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)

Original Split Level from the 1970's. The owners wanted to add a Front Porch, a Garage and a Master Suite. A further update will be to paint the brick. This will have the added benefit of blending the wood siding in with the brick

This re-design took a dated split level and transformed it into an attractive and functional home to meet the needs of a growing family. Additional square footage was added to incorporate a larger master suite and a second garage. The front entry became a bright and open space, with an open to below music room above it. The master suite took advantage of the large trees in this established neighbourhood giving it a feeling of being in a secluded treehouse.

The wainscoting is made from reclaimed white barn board. For this special job, no wood was joined, every edge was eased to look worn with a wavering block plane. Knots, bullet holes, gouges, old paint, saw marks and every other imperfection were embraced and showcased for the story they represented. Nothing looks new. The ceiling is treated with tongue and grooved, beveled cedar planks. There is nothing more incongruous than when a room is rustic but the sheetrock walls are left smooth - especially when the wall are left white. To give the walls an aged look we used a two-tone yellow-gold, coarse Venetian plaster. PHOTO CREDIT: John Ray
