THB Provides Community Jobs in SW Montana

January 20, 2012

YC Goes Geothermal
Job Creation in Big Sky Country

Development momentum is ramping up again in Big Sky.  The Yellowstone Club is bouncing back from their bankruptcy filing and post-recession consumer confidence is spurring much activity on and around Lone Peak.  On the front lines of this issue is Taylor Anderson who delved into not only the positive community impacts of resumed development, but also the progression towards energy efficiency in these large projects.

Read the Explore Big Sky article published in January 2012 which puts the Big Sky regional building landscape into perspective.  Teton Heritage Builders was proud to have an employee offer his perspective on the increase in building activity in Big Sky.  Our largest project in the Yellowstone Club is equipped with a geothermal heating system and we couldn’t be more excited to promote this alternative to propane use in Big Sky.

THB Montana Office Project A Success

January 18, 2012

Teton Heritage Builders was ecstatic to invest in an existing building in Gallatin Gateway, MT and move its Montana office in April of 2011.   It was a fun project to take from concept to completion.  Certainly a process that we couldn’t have done without the generous help and hard work from our partners in the Big Sky area.

Architectural conception and design work was provided by Jamie Daugaard of Centre Sky Architecture who helped us deliver a western contemporary look to Gallatin Gateway.  RS Bearrow Construction brought the design to life by providing expertise in finishing the exterior elements of the building.  Quarry Works stones stacked and set by Keystone Masonry lend a stoic presence to the facade of the building.

The quality craftsmanship doesn’t stop on the outside – the interior is truly impeccable.  Erica Jennings of Carole Sisson Design put her brilliance to work by bringing a comfortable, elegant style to our space.   Carefully selected materials combined with an inviting color palette create an invigorating environment for both our clients and hard working employees.  Granlie Floor Service skillfully inlaid our logo into the hardwood flooring provided by Henderson Lumber as you enter the reception area of the office.  As you scan the entry you will see gorgeous wainscoting provided by our neighbor Montana Reclaimed Lumber, granite counters by Reliable Granite, tiles from Pierce Flooring, and custom cabinetry by Interwest Cabinets.

We called in Yooper Wall Systems to give us high quality plaster wall finish and Summit Painting took exceptional care with the remaining paint finishes.  All electrical upgrades and fixtures were installed by Tech Electric, one of our longtime partners in the valley.  Manhattan Plumbing and Heating lent their expertise to improve the existing mechanical equipment and systems.  Timberline Insulation came to the rescue by improving the building envelope insulation and soundproofing interior spaces.  Additionally, we had immense support from Gallatin Valley stalwarts Simkins-Hallin Lumber and Kenyon Noble Lumber & Hardware.

We graciously thank all of these companies for their contributions to helping Teton Heritage Builders become a part of the Gallatin Gateway community.  Below are a few photos of the interior.  Check back for more photos to come.

We are happy to provide specific feedback on the high quality work provided by any and all of these companies.

Groin Vaulted Wine Cellar

January 13, 2012

Teton Heritage Builders is near completion of an exciting project located outside of Helena, Montana.  Perched above Canyon Ferry Lake, this home features elegant timber design features that seamlessly blend it into the rugged landscape.

One interior feature we are especially pleased with is the groin vault in the wine cellar.  A building technique that is first credited to the Romans, groin vaults are when two semicircular barrel vaults of the same diameter cross one another their intersection (a true ellipse) is known as a groin, down which the thrust of the vault is carried to the cross walls.  This type of vault is specifically designed to hold its own structural weight.  Structural support is a great feature when you hand finish the ceiling with intricate tiling as we did in this cellar.  It really is a sight to behold. Trust me.

Underneath of this magnificent groin vault sits hand made wine racks, custom iron entry gates, a wet bar fashioned from a recycled oak wine barrel, and a comfortable space for hosting a dinner or wine tasting.  Full climate control will ensure the collection lasts until the optimal aging period is achieved.  What an incredible space!

Once the trim is finished I will post pictures both here and on our Houzz profile.  In the mean time take a look at our other projects.
