Big Sky Builders Latest Modern Home

April 18, 2013

Big Sky Builders
Big Sky Modern Homes Come Into Style

The clean lines of modern homes are becoming en vogue in Big Sky, MT.  Though the vast majority of homes in Big Sky Country are log and timber frame, Teton Heritage Builders had the privilege of building a superb glass home in the Yellowstone Club.  The Lower Foxtail Residence is located in plain view of Big Sky Resort’s summit tram and affords a stunning view of Pioneer Mountain – the gem of the Yellowstone Club.  As Big Sky builders we relished the opportunity to bring our clients their dream home on Lone Peak.

Interior Design by LC2 Design Services

Reid Smith Architects designed the open floor plan to draw attention to the entire South-facing wall which is entirely triple pane windows.  The highly energy efficient glazing package ensures that the home will contain heat during the winter for maximum comfort and has automatic window shades to reduce solar gain in the summer to beat the heat.  On top of the the incredible windows, the home takes advantage of renewable energy from the earth via ground source heat pumps.  Operating at 350% efficiency, the heat pumps will save 70% on annual heating and cooling costs.

Interior design work was provided by the highly talented LC2 Design Services.  You might notice influences in this home beckon memories of locales such as Las Vegas.  Well, LC2 Design Services’ creative eye has had a hand in designing many high profile casinos in Sin City.  This Big Sky home hosts a perfect blend of crisp modern fixtures with rustic reclaimed wood and Chief Cliff stone.  It is a match made in heaven.

Finished in early 2013, the Lower Foxtail Residence is a tribute to the worldly influences that come together in Big Sky, Montana. We anticipate that all Big Sky builders will be clamoring to get a glimpse of this diamond in the rough.  Teton Heritage Builders couldn’t be more proud of this accomplishment and we look forward to expanding on our building knowledge of unique modern homes such as this one.

Bozeman Builders Know Geothermal Heat

May 31, 2012

Bozeman builders Teton Heritage Builders is starting the installation of a geothermal heat pump system in Big Sky, Montana.  The first of 24 geothermal wells was just drilled just off the building’s garage entrance.  As bozeman builders, we understand the varying geology of the mountain folds around here and know importance of the scientific approach to designing a ground source heat pump system.  So we are using this first vertical geothermal well to run a thermal conductivity test on the local geological formation to precisely size this geothermal system.  With accurate test results in hand, the updated geothermal design will be the absolute best it can be.

Once finished, this well will be part of the ground heat exchanger for a 24 ton geothermal heating and cooling system.  The homeowner will be able to simultaneously heat and cool their mountain home in the Yellowstone Club using the renewable energy naturally stored underground on their site.  By harnessing the Earth’s heat their radiant and forced air system will reach levels of efficiency above 350% in the middle of the winter.  Talk about huge savings!

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.
