Rustic Retreat

A barn-inspired home office and fitness center boasts inviting spaces and dramatic mountain views

“A pretty grand man cave” is how architect Van Bryan describes this barn-inspired structure, part of a vacation-home compound near Ennis, Montana, owned by two Dallas families. Designed to help the husbands keep up with their work and exercise routines when they aren’t enjoying the great outdoors, the structure houses a lofty fitness area—complete with sauna and bath with steam shower—flanked by two private offices.
