Sprawling yet intimate, grounded but free, inviting both connection and solace — every inch of this Big Sky retreat’s 18,000 square feet exemplifies an irresistible yin-and-yang effect. Perhaps this is why the manmade structure never intrudes upon the grandeur of nature in which it rests. Encompassed by sweeping mountain vistas and endless azure skies, the house respects its place in the vast landscape yet asserts itself with fitting scale and exquisite organic materials. It’s the epitome of what every mountain home aspires to be — a rare paradigm where the natural world and a human creation can exist in harmony. DESIGN AT THE CENTER Striking this delicate balance is the root of the home’s design. “With a project like this, you want to capture the majesty of the landscape and…

Most homes are built with a simple, singular goal in mind: to provide a place of shelter for your loved ones and belongings. But then there are homes that take architecture to the next level. Reaching beyond the ordinary into the realm of possibilities, they transport you to another world. (A world where “WOW!” is your natural reaction.) These homes aren’t just built for shelter; they’re works of art. Anchored onto a rocky outcropping in northwest Montana is just such a place. And, if art imitates life, as the saying goes, this marvel is taking its cues straight from its natural surroundings. NATURE AS MUSE The secluded, 60-acre parcel bordering a national forest is teeming with inspiration — and life. Black bears mosey through the property, unbothered at sharing their…

A welcoming family house – a palpable feel – a memorable aesthetic. This is how Richard Sherer recalls his clients’ vision of a “legacy estate” on Pine Lake in Chenequa, Wisconsin. “When we first meet a client, we go through an extensive discovery . . . trying to figure out what their main goals are and what are the words that they’re using to describe their vision,” says Richard, CEO and founder of Deep River Partners, a residential architecture and interior design firm in Milwaukee. The clients wanted a large primary residence to accommodate family gatherings as well as formal and informal entertaining — something that would endure for generations. What’s more, to fit their historic property — an original farmstead on Pine Lake before its development — they wanted…

At their core, timber frames are forthright structures whose assertive posts, beams and trusses express simplicity and artisanship imbued with strength and longevity. With a long, distinguished legacy, they’ve evolved in the modern era as masterful shape-shifters, adept at working across an array of aesthetics, all with cavernous interiors that feel surprisingly warm and comforting.

Rancho Puerta del Cielo, translation: “Heaven’s Gate.” It’s a fitting name for this 69-acre vineyard estate in California’s majestic Napa Valley. It is, indeed, a divine expression of a simple truth — home is much more than a physical place in a given moment in time. It is a shared experience where the past, present and future all converge.

Far from abstract, this approach invites the homeowners and their guests to immerse themselves into present, tangible moments. HONORING THE PAST A cursory glimpse of the residence reveals the unmistakable influence of the past.…
