Pattee Canyon Overlook

About the Project

This residence overlooks dramatic views of the valley from a prominent knob above Missoula’s Pattee Canyon. The home was oriented to maximize views as well as a sensitivity to its visual impact on the hillside from below. The house is designed in the style of a Montana lodge structure, but with an added sophistication.

The heavy timber connections are custom steel knife plates giving them a clean, more contemporary appearance.  The exterior utilizes locally quarried stone combined with cedar siding and a zinc roof.  Heavy timbers beginning on the exterior and extend into the interior to provide a comfortable warmth to the spaces.
