Twin Ridges Residence

LOCATION
Whitefish, MT

Situated on 20 acres just outside of Whitefish, Montana, this single-family retirement/forever home features five bedrooms, six baths, and an open-concept great room designed for entertaining visiting friends and family. The project’s main goal was to create a sleek and modern design while maintaining a cozy and inviting feel, paying homage to the surrounding agrarian vernacular. The home takes full advantage of sweeping landscape views.

The innovative design consisted of two tall “barn” structures connected by a low-slung “jewel-box” that houses the living and dining rooms, breakfast nook, and kitchen. Shed-style extensions were added to provide extra space, inspired by the way farmers expand their property over time. A simple material palette was used to reduce visual clutter. Custom bracketing adds a touch of sophistication, and a large deck and protective overhang wrap the living space while inviting visitors to engage with the land.

The building’s orientation maximizes views of the surrounding mountain ranges, shields views to and from neighbors, and optimizes the use of morning light, reducing the need for shading the extensive glazing.
