Architecture firm CTA | Cushing Terrell, has designed a modern house that sits on ten acres near Whitefish, Montana.

The home’s design was influenced by the surrounding landscape; becoming a seamless addition to the natural environment, rather than an interruption.

The house is composed of three structures in a loose triangular form, with a main house, guest house, and utility structure.

The main house and guest house are connected via a covered porch, where a table and chair set sits in the shade.

Inside the main house, the floor plan has been kept open, allowing the living room, dining room, and kitchen, to share the space, and take advantage of the natural light from the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Back inside, blue tiles in the kitchen draw the eye to the opposite end of the open plan room, where a large island provides additional space for counter stools and storage.

In one of the bedrooms, a freestanding bathtub takes center-stage, with it positioned in front of the windows.

Sliding doors, adjacent to the bedroom, open to reveal the bathroom, where blue tiles laid vertically draw attention to the height of the room. A wall-to-wall dark wood vanity provides plenty of space for two, while the mirrors are positioned on either side.
