Rising from a massive tawny-hued foundation of local Harlow stone to a veritable forest of majestic roof timbers, the six-bedroom, three-story lodge in The Yellowstone Club seems at first glance to have grown organically from its natural surroundings in Big Sky, Montana. This, undoubtedly, is a residence worthy of consideration as Mountain Living’s Home of the Year. What elevates the home above the rest, however, is the many ways in which its architectural details, finishes and furnishings subtly reinterpret and sometimes even challenge the local mountain dwelling vernacular while staying true to its heritage and spectacular location.
