US studio CLB Architects has created a retreat in rural Wyoming that has three wood-clad structures, with a creek running underneath the primary residence.
Located on a 35-acre (14-hectare) property near the town of Wilson, the home was envisioned as a series of "tectonic structures" set within a diverse ecosystem.
CLB Architects and HSH Interiors have created a rural mountain retreat in Wyoming
The ShineMaker home looks toward the Tetons, a mountain range that rises sharply from the Jackson Hole valley. The property features a pine forest and stands of aspens, which transition to a rolling meadow.
Composed of three distinct buildings ? a main house, guesthouse and writer's studio ? the project was designed for a California-based couple who manage an independent record label. It was envisioned as a series of tectonic structures
Both homeowners are also authors, and they desired a second home in rural Wyoming where they could write while immersed in nature.
Each building responds to its immediate setting.

Stretching horizontally from east to west, the main house is rectangular in plan yet more sculptural in form.
