With this residence at the Yellowstone Club, the desirability of creating a community with a unifying theme is taken to heart and the residence exploits the character of reclaimed materials and simple forms while allowing for the lifestyle choices that make each of us unique. The variation that nature inflicts on these materials is given respect and their application emphasizes formal massings and visual importance.

Integrity of structure is a high priority with support elements being emphasized where needed and avoided as pure decoration.

Stepping the house with the land benefits the design by minimizing regrading and drainage difficulties, providing easy separation of private from not-so-private, enabling optimum view orientation, and allowing a simple methodology for breaking down the mass of the structure.

Two intersecting grids are utilized in the layout, the core laid out on an east-west axis with saddlebags turned toward Sphinx Mountain.

The entry/uphill/north side is very closed incorporating only limited openings to provide a back to the residence. In contrast the southern/view side of the house is very open to take advantage of both the views and the southern sun.
