This was the idea behind the remodel of this Jackson, Wyoming home located along Indian Springs Drive. No stranger to building Indian Springs homes, Big-D Signature collaborated with JLF architects to remodel this traditional log-style mountain home, which was completed in two phases. To celebrate the old and welcome the new, the entirety of this 10,375-square-foot, 3-level home, which features an attached garage and upper-level living area, was remodeled in a contemporary design while maintaining the bones and character of an authentic mountain home.

Combining the timeless with the modern often gives you the best of both worlds.

As part of the first phase of the project, Big-D Signature made myriad structural changes to remodel and contemporize the home. The home’s log columns were traded out for modern steel columns, while the entire interior of the home was media blasted and whitewashed for a clean, contemporary look. Big-D Signature also installed new windows, doors, and finishes throughout the home, as well as a curved operable window wall, a bonderized roof, and architectural steel. For the second phase of the project, Big-D Signature performed extensive landscaping and hardscaping of the property.

Inside the Design 

Modern, Clean, and Contemporary

As if by some brand of mountain magic hailing from deep within forest reaches, this Jackson, Wyoming home was transformed from its humble, yet treasured past into a fresh, modernized mountain haven that reflects the crisp renewal of breathing in fresh mountain air during a tranquil summer in the Tetons.

Inside you’ll find rare, reclaimed chestnut floors, cabinets, and doors. The house itself sits in the middle of a pond, complete with a wooden causeway to the front door. Retractable, bronze Italian windows allow natural light and a refreshing Wyoming breeze to flow effortlessly throughout the rooms.

Hidden by nature, Linn Ranch is an example of Old-World craftsmanship. The exterior of the 10,700 square-foot home is characterized by reclaimed wooden trusses, posts, and beams, as well as repurposed Montana field stone.

Linn Ranch was built on an old, dilapidated site formerly regarded as a gravel pit, sawmill, and junkyard. However, the homeowner saw extraordinary potential in what was arguably a wasteland. The surrounding wetlands and ponds were all reconstructed from lost tributaries and springs of the Snake River. The property has since become a thriving ecosystem for several native species of wildlife.

From Wastelands to Wetlands

The Jackson, WY area is very much protected by stringent environmental codes in order to sustain the natural beauty for years to come. As a result, this house uses no fossil fuel energy, and crews worked delicately to avoid disturbing the property’s natural water features and wildlife habitat. Additionally, extensive restoration of ancient riparian features and wetlands were implemented by Verdone Landscape Architects.

Behind The Details

Artificial Dam

&#8220;This elegant enfilade parti pris affords every room a spectacular view of the Grand Tetons. Contemporary wall and cabinet finishes are a bright contrast to the traditional stone and reclaimed timbers that anchor the house to the earth.&#8221;
