In a privileged corner of Jackson, Wyoming\u2014where nature unfolds in its most sublime forms\u2014stands Skyview, a residence designed by CLB Architects<\/a> as a timeless retreat, created to welcome an extended family of adult children and grandchildren. Set on a 49-acre site, the house appears to hover above the land, framed by the grandeur of the Teton Range and Sheep Mountain.<\/p>\n\n

For the homeowner, an East Coast native seeking a balance between tradition and modernity, this project became a true journey of design discovery. She envisioned a home that would reflect her family\u2019s legacy and meet their needs for years to come, while harmonizing with the dramatic natural setting. \u201cOur relationship with the homeowner has been a huge part of this project,\u201d says Eric Logan, Partner at CLB. \u201cBecause of the trust and rapport we built over the years, we were able to challenge each other and ultimately arrive at a design we all feel proud of.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

Inspiration from place<\/h2>\n\n\n

From the outset, the site dictated the direction of the project. The steep contours of the terrain and local height restrictions led to an architecture that anchors into the hillside, embracing the land\u2019s topography. The result is a home that converses with its immediate environment, offering from each room a unique perspective of mountain and valley.<\/p>\n\n\n

\u201cMy favorite thing about this project is that you get to occupy the space between contrasts and enjoy them both,\u201d Logan notes. \u201cThe house shifts between the quiet, contemplative entry courtyard and the expansive views toward the valley.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

Materiality and warmth<\/h2>\n\n\n

Skyview finds its voice in materiality. Montana stone clads the exterior and continues indoors, reinforcing the continuity between inside and out. Cedar ceilings and walls, together with walnut floors and millwork, bring a warm texture that connects with a traditional aesthetic, while blackened steel elements define contemporary accents such as the central hearth and custom furnishings.<\/p>\n\n\n

Inside, the palette departs from stark contrasts and instead embraces earthy tones\u2014sage greens, ochres, and burnt oranges\u2014that root the home in its mountain landscape. \u201cWe combined natural materials like leather, wood, and stone with custom furniture tied to the interior architecture,\u201d explains Sarah Kennedy, interior designer at CLB. \u201cWe wanted a home rich in textures, able to bridge the artisanal with the refined.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

Craftsmanship as legacy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Every detail reveals a commitment to craftsmanship. The spiral light fixture descending in the entry, the handcrafted dining table, the custom rugs evoking the topography of the valley and the Snake River, and the carefully selected textiles all transform the interiors into a space of intimate resonance, where tradition and modernity coexist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sustainable and multigenerational architecture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Conceived as a family legacy, Skyview integrates a geothermal heating and cooling system, a high-performance building envelope, and durable materials that ensure a long life cycle. Its spatial organization reflects the idea of permanence: the upper level concentrates the main living areas and the primary suite, allowing the owners to inhabit the home with simplicity when alone. The lower level unfolds into bedrooms for children and grandchildren, along with recreation spaces, a lounge, and a wine cellar. An independent guesthouse completes the compound, reinforcing the vision of a family estate designed to endure.<\/p>\n\n\n

\u201cThis project is a story of evolution and contrast,\u201d summarizes Bryan James, Principal at CLB. Indeed, Skyview not only integrates into the mountain\u2014it seems to emerge from it, celebrating the tension between intimacy and openness, craftsmanship and innovation.<\/p>\n\n

CLB Architects<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

CLB Architects is an architecture firm founded in 1992. With offices in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and Bozeman, Montana, it defines itself as a comprehensive design studio that integrates architecture, interior design, and object design. Its philosophy can be summed up in the formula \u201cinspired by place\u201d<\/em>: every proposal begins with a sensitivity to the landscape, the light, and the local materiality, generating spaces that seem to emerge from the land itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout its trajectory, CLB has grown to bring together nearly fifty professionals, including architects, interior designers, project managers, and collaborators, led by a quartet of partners. The studio\u2019s projects range from private residences in rural settings\u2014where the boundary between indoors and outdoors becomes subtle\u2014to public and infrastructure commissions, always with a firm footing in geography, local culture, and rigorous technique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CLB is led by its four partners: Eric Logan<\/strong>, a Wyoming native, embodies the creative pulse of CLB. At a time when architecture often gravitates toward technological abstraction, Logan seeks to return us to the essential: the dialogue with the senses, with light, air, and earth. His architecture is defined by a bold yet grounded imprint, capable of stretching the boundary between the contemporary and the local. Logan is the leading voice in many of the studio\u2019s landmark projects, where the landscape is not only a context but an active presence in every formal decision. His designs often combine local culture and ancestral craft traditions with innovative construction methods, allowing for multigenerational experiences in a natural setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kevin Burke<\/strong> brings to the studio a blend of landscape sensitivity and technical rigor. His design approach begins with a deep reading of the land, paying attention to local conditions, the history of the site, and the vernacular forms born of the environment. With a strong interest in building assemblies, Burke promotes within CLB both high design quality and technical efficiency rooted in sustainability. As a LEED-accredited professional, he leads the integration of sustainable construction practices at CLB and reinforces the firm\u2019s commitment to environmental integrity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Andy Ankeny<\/strong> represents an intimate link between craftsmanship and architectural vision. Raised in Jackson Hole in a culture of custom building, he developed a profound appreciation for material, detail, and measured gesture. He is an architect dedicated to what he calls \u201ccultivation through craft\u201d<\/em>, a concept that reveals his passion for careful intervention in every small piece of a project. With a long-term vision of sustainability as a guiding principle for design and construction, he envisions each project within a hundred-year life cycle, relying on durable and honest materials that address the needs of both the present and future generations.<\/p>\n\n\n

Darcey Prichard<\/strong>\u00a0is the operational and organizational engine of the studio. For more than two decades, she has led CLB\u2019s marketing, administration, and institutional structure. Since joining the practice in its early years, she has played a key role in consolidating its professional identity: building internal processes, shaping the studio\u2019s public presence, and strengthening the brand in a way that organically reflects its architectural practice. Although not an architect, her role is essential: she enables the creative vision to thrive in an organized, sustainable, and reliable environment.<\/p>\n\n
