CLB Architects, together with HSH Interiors (Holly Hollenbeck), has designed a home in an aspen grove near Wilson, Wyoming.

Composed of three buildings (main house, guest house, and writer’s studio), the home is arranged as a set of simple box-like volumes, each designed in response to its specific location.

The main house is conceived as a geologic remnant in the landscape, while the guest house and a writer’s studio are nestled more intimately within the wooded environment. A fourth, spiritually focused structure has yet to be built and will be sited further to the south.

The home features a charred shou sugi ban exterior, tugged and carved to create overhangs and openings.

The entrance to the home is located where the structure reaches out over a lowland creek, while the wood exterior wraps into the interior as light Atlantic cedar.

Throughout the home, wood, steel, bronze, custom-cast white concrete, bleached cedar, and oversized slabs of travertine and onyx define the material palette.

Each of the bathrooms has its own unique look, however round or curved mirrors are a common design element.

Italian limestone is highlighted as floors in the primary bath. It is also highlighted for the custom bathtub, which was water jet cut from a single block of limestone to create a striking monolithic and sculptural design element.
