Black Fox Ranch / CLB Architects

Andreas Luco — Sat, 10 Aug 2024 11:00:00 +0000

Sited next to a band of cottonwoods and aspens occupying the former riverbed of the Snake River, Black Fox Ranch consists of a couple’s primary residence and a barn with stables. The design and planning draw from the site’s history as a working cattle ranch, with 100-year-old irrigation ditches, remnants of a 19th-century trapper’s cabin, corrals, and game trails (seasonally frequented by 400+ head of elk) that crisscross the 35-acre ranch.

ShineMaker Residence / CLB Architects

A series of undulating tectonic structures set against an aspen grove near Wilson, Wyoming, this mountain home serves as a creative retreat for a California-based couple. The 35-acre property is set at the base of the Tetons and encompasses several ecosystems, with old-growth forests merging into stands of young pine and aspen trees before transitioning into rolling meadows. The homeowners, authors who also own and manage an independent record label out of Mill Valley, California, were looking for a nature-oriented outpost in Wyoming in which to pursue their writing practice.

Basecamp Residence / CLB Architects

Hadir Al Koshta — Mon, 02 Oct 2023 18:00:00 +0000

Situated in the heart of Moonlight Basin in Big Sky, Montana, this mountain retreat rises into the dense fir and pine trees, offering a close connection to the natural environment for the owner's family. With their main residence in Manhattan, the owner couple desired a vacation home where they could reconnect with nature and encourage their three children to experience the landscape as they grow up. The husband spent time growing up on his grandfather’s tree farm in New Hampshire and wanted to recreate those treasured experiences amongst nature for his young family.

Paintbrush Residence / CLB Architects

Andreas Luco — Mon, 17 Apr 2023 16:00:00 +0000

Evolving as deliberately as the forest surrounding it, the Paintbrush Residence stands as a testament to the longevity of the thoughtful design. Situated in a dappled Aspen grove outside Jackson, Wyoming, the treehouse-like project reorients the occupant to their place in nature, bringing them into a closer, more intimate cohabitation. Under CLB’s care, the home has been carefully crafted and recrafted over the past two decades in a series of graceful iterations which support the site’s shifting inhabitants.

Get In Get Out Installation / CLB Architects

Bianca Valentina Roșescu — Mon, 11 Apr 2022 16:00:00 +0000

Get Out/Get In was created as an art installation for two Jackson Hole community events. The first, PARKing Day, transforms parking spaces around town into temporary public art interventions. The capacities of a parking space determined the dimensions for the Get Out/Get In structure. The second event, GLOW Nights, is a month-long must-see exhibit produced by Jackson Hole Public Art. This Teton Village event features original art installations which use colorful light as a medium to celebrate the unique phenomena found in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Artists draw inspiration from the megafauna, calderas, hot springs, and dramatic vistas that inspire.

Five Shadows Residence / CLB Architects

Bianca Valentina Roșescu — Sun, 03 Apr 2022 15:00:00 +0000

Five Shadows, located on a prime site at the base of the Teton Mountain Range, belies the density of the surrounding area. Sited at the western boundary of development, the project lives on the fringes of a meadow near an aspen and conifer forest that cascades down from the summit of Rendezvous Peak. Slightly elevated above neighbors, the compound imparts a feeling of privacy, screens nearby buildings through structural orientation and strategic window placement, and takes in broad views across the valley to the Gros Ventre Range.

Plume Installation / CLB Architects

Bianca Valentina Roșescu — Fri, 01 Apr 2022 18:00:00 +0000

Plume references a geyser in sculptural form, cyclically undulating to the rhythm of the earth’s core and the prevailing weather of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. A reinforced, wood frame skeletal system is draped in layered white fabric that is illuminated from within.

Tengoku Residence / CLB Architects

Bianca Valentina Roșescu — Wed, 30 Mar 2022 16:00:00 +0000

Injecting a dose of mid-century California modernism into the Rocky Mountain West, Tengoku Residence embraces the natural terrain of Jackson Hole in an unexpectedly modern way. Diverging from the mountain modern style typical of the region, the design of the 4,739-square-foot vacation home was inspired by the owner couple’s shared love of Japanese Zen gardens and mid-century modern design, as well as their backgrounds living in California and Hawaii.

FaceTime Installation / CLB Architects

Bianca Valentina Roșescu — Tue, 29 Mar 2022 14:00:00 +0000

Park(ing) Day occurs the third Friday of every September. Started in 2005 in San Francisco, the worldwide event calls for creative people to transform parking spots into temporary public parks. The Jackson Hole Park(ing) Day event was the first display of The Facetime structures.

Town Enclosure Installation / CLB Architects

Valeria Silva — Sun, 19 Dec 2021 17:00:00 +0000

Town Enclosure is an art installation designed by CLB Architects and commissioned by Jackson Hole Public Art with support from the Center for the Arts, Jackson businesses, and private donors. Developed as part of the Center for the Art’s Creative in Residence Program, Town Enclosure was conceived as a gathering place that also functioned as a sculptural art installation.

Rendezvous House / CLB Architects

Pilar Caballero — Thu, 25 Feb 2021 17:00:00 +0000

Stunning views and prime access to the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort made Shooting Star Golf and Ski Community an ideal location for an elegant mountain home. This 5-bedroom, 7,000 square foot home showcases idyllic views of the resort, the Teton mountain range, and Sheep Mountain. The Texas-based residents with long-standing ties to Jackson sought a space to provide access to world-class skiing both at the resort and in the backcountry. The Teton Village home embraces the outdoor lifestyle that Jackson Hole offers and promotes this throughout the home.

Riverbend Residence / CLB Architects

Andreas Luco — Wed, 01 Jul 2020 17:00:00 +0000

A spectacular site, artistic freedom, and clients with a vision came together to create the perfect opportunity for CLB to design a modern art piece on the banks of the Snake River. The 20-acre property brought its challenges. An Army Corps of Engineers-built berm created a visual barrier to the water, and a healthy cottonwood grove, though offering the ultimate in privacy, screened the views to the Tetons. The architects’ solution was to build platforms on site to study the river, the seasons, and the views, then elevate the home five feet above ground level to lift the main living area above the riverine meadow.

Lefty Ranch House / CLB Architects

Andreas Luco — Wed, 15 Apr 2020 17:00:00 +0000

The history and splendor of Wyoming’s natural environment factor heavily into the design of Lefty Ranch. Nestled perfectly between the Snake River and valley proper — with panoramic views of the Tetons to the west and north and Gros Ventre mountains to the east — Lefty Ranch speaks directly to the pond it borders, as well as the big timber and historic corrals that dot its 35 acres. A dramatic approach teases views of the home through a sea of trees before carrying visitors over a bridge and onto the property. While most ponds in Teton County require a 50-foot buffer between home and water, this man-made body of water has the freedom to forego that restriction.

Dogtrot House / CLB Architects

Valeria Silva — Thu, 20 Feb 2020 07:00:00 +0000

A quiet 18-acre meadow lot boasting 360-degree views of ranchlands, foothills and Glory Peak just outside Jackson, Wyoming, proved the perfect site for a Pennsylvania couples’ first foray into regionally appropriate modernism. CLB was the natural choice as architect, given the owners’ interest in site-specific minimalism, as well as their desire to engage in a collaborative design process.

Queen’s Lane Pavilion / CLB Architects

Paula Pintos — Mon, 29 Apr 2019 17:00:00 +0000

Carney Logan Burke has collaborated with one family on a 180-acre Jackson Hole property over a period of twenty-plus years. The breadth of work — five projects in a wildlife-rich riverine ecosystem — depicts the evolution of one couple’s aesthetic: it has carved a steady arc from traditional to modern.

JD2 House / CLB Architects

Rayen Sagredo — Sat, 18 Aug 2018 12:00:00 +0000

Carney Logan Burke was tasked to design an entire compound for a young family relocating from the San Francisco Bay Area to Wilson, Wyoming. From siting and entry sequence to conceiving a full complement of primary and secondary structures — a 5,300-square-foot residence, guest house and gear barn with a pond, waterfall and landscaping — principals John Carney and Matt Thackray and head of the interiors team Jenn Mei worked closely with the clients to bring all aspects of the project to fruition.

RCR Compound / CLB Architects

Daniel Tapia — Sun, 12 Aug 2018 12:00:00 +0000

The art collector clients for RCR relocated to this rural setting where they desired a house that capitalized on the characteristics of the extraordinary site and created an appropriate setting for the display and enjoyment of their collection. The house and guest quarters occupy a sloping transition zone between a forested butte and a grassy meadow located on an eight-acre valley site in western Montana. The house was sited to access views of the meadow and distant peaks situated at each end of the valley.

The Barn / Carney Logan Burke Architects

Rayen Sagredo — Tue, 13 Jun 2017 11:00:00 +0000

Whatever the attraction, the architectural barn style was the look that the homeowners were after when they decided to add a guesthouse to their 15-acre property on Tucker Ranch. The couple’s architect and friend, John Carney of Carney Logan Burke Architects in Jackson, equivocated - for a minute. “I remember they handed me photos of the real barns.
