Nature now sets the tone inside a Westbank home, with panoramic immersion empowered by the proliferation of picture windows and the interior palette of blackened steel and bleached walnut. Within this scenic frame, luxurious layers, subtle juxtapositions and lush textures encourage memory-making amid mountain majesty. Built for a bachelor in the 1990s, the redefined home now brims with family and friends—and features to welcome them all in contemporary comfort. The clean lines of the reimagined architecture contrast the tactile finishes of the design schema, exemplified by elegant moments such as the recessed railing leading upstairs—sheathed and hand-stitched in leather, backlit for quiet drama. Every detail attests to the home’s complete and utter transformation.
contemporary refuge
Tonal texture and a precise palette make this study in Scandinavian sophistication sing. Designed as a guest retreat for longtime clients, every exquisite detail underscores the harmonious aesthetic: for instance, the creamy, diaphanous drapes lining the kitchen, dining and living room feature flecks of red, making the understated fixture enlivening up close. Once dark with dated woodwork and heavy textiles, the ranch house now feels transformed into a peaceful, contemporary refuge. By applying a syncopated program of warm whites and grays paired with oak and walnut paneling, the home feels cohesive. Custom oak cabinetry and a sleek quartz countertops make the kitchen feel both calming and culinarily conducive. Meanwhile pops of color—expressed in accent textiles and original artwork—distinguish the bedrooms. Even the sculptural chandelier hanging above the custom pool table makes for an unexpectedly artistic moment out of entertainment.
family refuge
A home with vistas so stunning they feel spiritual calls for a complementary approach as comforting and cohesive as the residing family itself. An engaged ethos pervades the design as every element encourages interaction with each other and the environment—a purpose epitomized by the epic sectional gracing the great room. Clad in stonewashed, slate-blue linen, the commodious sofa frames the panorama as well as the games played by the family on the custom coffee table. The wow factor of the Teton setting—experienced anew by the many relatives who have never visited the valley before—takes primacy. Because every room boasts a breathtaking view (and every bedroom boasts a balcony), the interior design proceeds with respect for nature through subtle layering and melodic integration of contemporary and transitional elements. Contrasting the modern architecture, an aesthetic of mountain comfort defines the interior design. Featured pieces of furniture, placed with breathing room, pair well tactile accessories such as alpaca throws and handblown vases. Pops of color appear in the form of character-rich antiques and artwork sourced from local galleries. Marked by heartfelt intent, the living spaces harmoniously integrate the landscape, with nature enveloping each room. A home defined by balance and love.
