This contemporary River Bank House designed by Seattle-based Balanced Associates Architects opens up to a verdant pine forest just outside of Big Sky Montana. The design of house establishes a well balanced connection between form and functionality.

The house is oriented toward the gorgeous view of the river while maintaining good solar orientation for taking full advantage of solar heat gain in the winter and keeping out the hot summer sun. The house has two main living zones, one for the guests and one for everyday living. Balance Associates Architects have made at least one family happy with this cozy mountain abode.
