The wildly rugged Teton Range in Wyoming is an outdoor-lover’s delight, offering adventures from backcountry skiing and hiking to mountain biking and rock climbing. In the verdant valley that flows beneath the jagged Tetons—which is dotted with native grasses, silvery-green sagebrush, shimmering aspen trees, and abundant evergreens—sits the Green Meadows Residence.

Loosely based on an English arts-and-crafts butterfly plan, in which the two wings of the house are constructed at an angle to the center, the design creates the impression of arms reaching out to welcome you onto the property. Kurt Dubbe, AIA, principal and founder of Dubbe Moulder Architects, led the design team, which drew upon the butterfly formation in a less strict, more site-specific way to capitalize on the jaw-dropping views. The home’s orientation overlooks some of the most legendary peaks of the Teton Range: the Grand, Middle Grand, South Grand, Static Peak, and Buck Mountain.
