Split Timber House

A sculpted volume tuned to light, views, and openness.

Project Type: Single family residential
Scope: Ground-Up Architecture, Interior Design
Location: Jackson, WY
Project Size: 3,800 SQ FT

This single-family home in Jackson, Wyoming is defined by a quiet shift in geometry: a second-floor volume rotated off axis to open the home to long views on all sides. The result is a quiet but intentional structure that balances openness with privacy, and compression with release.

The material palette is warm and minimal—custom stone slabs, soft oak, and matte black accents—chosen for texture, durability, and clarity. Framed openings and covered outdoor spaces extend the living environment outward, creating a calm, connected experience in every season.

Oriented for Outlook

The upper floor is conceived as a hollow volume—shifted and rotated to create open ends that frame distant views. This move also brings in light from multiple directions, creating long sightlines and a strong sense of directionality inside the home.

Material as Quiet Detail

Custom-sourced stone slabs, soft oak, and matte black accents form a restrained but tactile palette. Each surface was selected to age gracefully and add depth without distraction—minimalism with texture and weight.
