North Gros Ventre Residence

Name: Dynia Architects
Price range: $

Located in Teton County, this residence is surrounded by expansive, 360-degree mountain views. It follows the site's gentle slope, creating subtle shifts in the floor plane throughout the home.

Above a concrete base, the second-floor massing cantilevers toward the views, forming sheltered spaces below for the carport, courtyard, and entry.

The material palette combines cedar volumes set above a fiber cement panel base, strategically broken by concrete masses. Zinc panels at the base and head of each window emphasize verticality and heighten the sense of volume. Together, these materials help distinguish the living volume, bedrooms, and service spaces.

Tucked under this cantilevered form, the front entry opens into a grand hall and stairway that leads toward a spacious living area at the corner of the first floor, oriented to the Tetons.

This open living space is divided by a centrally located, cast-in-place concrete fireplace. Floor-to-ceiling windows and integrated outdoor living areas bring natural light deep into the residence while framing broad views of the surrounding landscape.

The lower level also includes a music room that splits away from the L-shaped scheme, projecting into the courtyard. This separation of forms allows the space to be surrounded by scenery on three sides, producing a serene environment filled with natural light and direct connections to nature.
