Project Description
This project was selected as a Merit winner in the 2021 Residential Architect Design Awards, Custom House More Than 3,000 Square Feet category.
“A barn-vernacular architectural mountain home with a surprising interior that is light-filled, artful, and whimsical.” —Juror Carlos Madrid III
An invigorated interpretation of mountain living, Dogtrot takes its namesake inspiration—the historical “dogtrot” cabin and barn known for their long central breezeways—and unfurls itself before the Teton Range. Sited on an 18-acre meadow, the house’s main volume is oriented along an east–west axis, filling the glazed living spaces with southern light. The second volume—the garage—links to the main area by way of a heroic porch, which signals entry, provides outdoor shelter, and creates a graphic play of light through an aperture in the roof.
Local firm CLB Architects chose minimalist, impactful materials. The oxidized steel and Siberian larch cladding nod to the rust colors of the nearby foothills, a palette that the interior continues and pairs with glass, steel, and concrete. The public spaces are topped by soaring ceilings and cocooned in wood paneling, creating a warm, rustic, and surprisingly bright atmosphere.
