Andesite Ridge

Gallatin Range, Montana

A contemporary vision celebrates a landscape shaped by wind, fire, water and ice

Set within a landscape shaped by wind, fire, water and ice, Andesite Ridge exposes a dramatic and ecologically rich environment, challenging the notion of contemporary design in a rugged context. A modernist interpretation of mountain living melds a design ethos of simplicity, volume, and natural materials with an artful synthesis of engineering and technology to holistically address its contextual suitability. This approach, when synthesized with strategic site planning decisions, effectively dissolves the barrier between designed space and natural environment while actively addressing urgent regional issues including forestry and wildfire management, water conservation, ecological impact, and wildlife habitat restoration.

“Seamlessly and minimally designed, it reflects local ecosystems and geographical characteristics, transforming them into functional and elegant spaces for residents to enjoy and appreciate their surroundings. The crisp details provide a bold contrast to the softness of nature, resulting in an inspiring design expressed through nature and the art of living.” – National ASLA Professional Awards Jury
