Moody. Dramatic. Warm and inviting.Lots of glass, lots of angles and varied rooflines.Like a high-end hotel. This was the directive his clients had cast when architect Kevin Richardson of Timber Forge Design began the drawings for this four-bedroom, three-and-a-half bathroom, 6,000-square-foot home. In a style Kevin refers to as “mountain blend,” this northwestern Montana home integrates the traditional elements of luxury mountain architecture in contemporary, unexpected and visually impactful ways. “Orientation was key for this design,” Kevin recalls. “The site had a very specific view line they wanted to capture.” To give every major room in the house that shot of the Salish Mountains in the distance, a lineal design with varying heights took shape. An abundance of south-facing windows allows plenty of daylight even during Montana’s dark winters. However,…

One of the hallmarks of a well-designed home is the ability to evoke a sense of place. However, for the home-owners of this timber frame beauty, limiting that identity to a singular locale — especially one chosen purely for proximity—would have been a lost opportunity. Rooted just outside of the culturally eclectic city of New Orleans, the home wears its Southern roots lightly. Influences from distant design traditions and landscapes inform both exterior and interior, giving the home a sense of being worlds away—like architecture curated in another place and time. This transported quality begins with the home’s traditional timber-framed bones that embrace a decidedly Western vernacular. A collaboration between owners Bruce and Claire Ennis and PrecisionCraft Log and Timber Homes, the lodge-like influence is clear, with both architecture and…

Follow along the edge of the Wisconsin River, and you’ll find no shortage of luxury estates to tempt the eye. Standing stark against the shoreline, little is left to the imagination. But there is one home that takes a more subtle approach. Nestled on a bluff behind a grove of trees, this home is virtually invisible from the water—an impressive feat for the timber frame masterpiece comprising six bedrooms and nine bathrooms within 17,000 square feet of living space. The obscured setting—a deliberate choice that, at once, embraces the luxury of privacy and creates a sense of discovery—is reinforced at the entrance to the property, where a rambling drive through parklike grounds leads to the expansive home. With its mass of timber, stone and glass, plus a turret or two,…

When tasked with the design for a new custom family home perched above the quintessential Rocky Mountain town of Whitefish, Tate Interiors and Payne Cole Designs weren’t asked to channel the humble homesteads of the region or twirl up a scheme for a grand lodge. From the start, the brief was about balance. “Our client had a vision that they entrusted us to fulfill: an authentic Montana mountain home that embraces its region and history while capitalizing on all the great modern capabilities of today’s market,” explains Eric Payne, co-founder of Payne Cole Designs, the architecture firm behind the design. The result is a nearly 8,000-square-foot retreat, christened “Beargrass Lodge,” which boasts Whitefish’s local ski slopes and Glacier National Park as a backdrop. The getaway is situated in the prestigious…

It started out small. Thirty years ago, before the homeowners’ Wausau, Wisconsin, residence was the massive mansion it is today, it was a single-story farmhouse wrapped in an 8-foot-deep covered porch. Over time, they finished the basement, added a primary bedroom suite and incorporated other small upgrades here and there. But when you reach a high level of success in business, as this couple did, that ambitious appetite isn’t contained to your career. Now, family members jokingly refer to their once humble ranch as the “Winchester” home, referencing the seemingly endless additions, twists and turns of the famous San Jose landmark. “Six or seven years ago we started doing major additions,” says the owner. “We added an exercise room, a theater and a dining room large enough for either of…
