TO MANY ECOLOGICALLY MINDED SOULS, “green” building often conjures images of contemporary structures with clean, unornamented lines. So you might be surprised (and rightfully so) that a rustic cabin beside a pond near Big Sky, Montana, is the residential winner of Mountain Living’s 2010 Responsible Development Award—not to mention a recipient of the LEED for Homes Platinum rating, the top designation for residences awarded by the U.S. Green Building Council.
