Carney Logan Burke Architects Black Fox Ranch
Description
Sited next to a band of cottonwoods and aspens occupying a former riverbed of the Snake River, Black Fox Ranch consists of a couple’s primary residence and a barn with stables. The property formerly functioned as a working cattle ranch and has remnants of a 19th-century trapper’s cabin, corrals, and 100-year-old irrigation ditches. With an appreciation of wildlife and conservation, plus their longtime love of horses, the clients desired to return the land to its origins as a working ranch with livestock and hay production. The newly constructed main residence sits beside a contemporary barn containing stables, a corral, and pastures, ensuring the horses are a constant visual presence. The low-slung, three-bedroom residence gradually rises from the meadow, capped by a compact second story containing the primary bedroom suite and an office suite with access to a rooftop deck. The home’s L-shaped plan separates the main living spaces—living, dining, kitchen, den, and primary bedroom—from secondary areas including guest quarters, gym, sauna, and laundry room. The long, low slope of the roof is structured with a cross-laminated timber (CLT) roof system. The deep overhang creates cover for an outdoor dining terrace that frames Teton Mountain views to the west and the Gros Ventre Range to the east. Deliberately composed exterior spaces wrap the perimeter of the building, allowing access to the panoramic views and one’s preference for sun or shade throughout the day.
