Goat Creek

Modern Mountain Retreat

Goat Creek embraces the experience of living among the trees, connecting each space directly to the surrounding forest. The bold single-slope roof form is expressed through exposed steel and wood structural elements and paired with a restrained palette of natural materials, including stained cedar siding, weathered steel panels, and stone walls that ground the home within its wooded setting. Private retreat spaces are organized along a double-height living and dining area framed by expansive glass, while a series of connected patios link interior and exterior living spaces, reinforcing a continuous connection to the landscape.

Under One Roof

“We initially presented several different design approaches for the property and as we considered the options as a team, we kept coming back to this scheme: everything gathered under one roof.“

“My family worked with Chris and Brian on a couple of projects, the largest one being our dream home in the mountains. Once the land was purchased, the thought of designing and building a home seemed daunting. Thankfully, Chris and Brian’s approach was one that felt easy. Our first meetings were spent making sure they understood our likes, dislikes and the ‘why’s’ behind each of them. They showed true passion for their work as architects through every phase. We are thankful for their partnership and for their work which gave us our dream home.”
