Thunder Road Reaches
Envisioned as a year-round gathering place for a growing and multigenerational family, Thunder Road Reaches is a reinterpretation of the storied family farm compounds of the owners’ native Texas. Nestled along the banks of a meandering tributary of the Snake River, it lies within earshot of the legendary fly-fishing, scenic hiking paths, and world-class skiing and mountain biking offered by Jackson Hole.

By using modular and prefabricated construction, the design and construction timeline for Skylodge were compressed into an impressive 5-month window. To pull off the quick creation, a series of modules, based on 100-square-foot triangles, were fitted with finishes, mechanical and electrical simultaneously and prepared on-site, resulting in a geometric layout with two rotundas, connected at the core resulting in dramatic mountain views at 8,900 feet elevation.

CGC Custom Home
This very personal 5200 s.f. custom home was designed for a wooded 2.5 acre site with beautiful views of the Colorado front range for a couple with many unique lifestyle requests.

They requested a very modern, minimalist interior with both open and protected outdoor spaces. While they preferred flat-roof designs, the neighborhood design guidelines required pitched roofs and natural exterior materials, so the architects were challenged to design a home, within the guidelines, that had the modern i...
