noise makes the home.

If you’ve ever experienced a home designed by Jason you know just how unique and inspirational the spaces that he creates are. The Fox Creek residence is unlike any other.

The original home, a true structural timber frame; a rarity in modern homes, became the canvas for founder and designer Patsy Nickum of Rocky Mountain Hardware to launch and display her renowned hardware collection, designed in collaboration with Lenny Kravitz. Evolving the classic mountain style of the home into the mountain modern masterpiece of today was no small feat.

Jason’s keen eye for functional design and environmental integration brought the home to life. From the seamless indoor to outdoor transitions, to the bold architectural elements, Jason’s natural modifications followed form, fit, and function while dramatically enhancing the timberframe aesthetic.

A massive cantilevered terrace overhang was hand-welded from plate steel to create a dramatic knife-edge aesthetic, combined with the largest Dynamic steel doors fabricated to-date, to create an indoor/outdoor transition that is unmatched in the Wood River valley.

The original timber frame, supporting the roof of the home, was retained and reconditioned to add warmth and character to the home. Jason integrated contrasting steel plate and wood flitch braces to tie the rustic structure to the modern Rocky Mountain Hardware style. This aesthetic was carried through to the other focal points of the home at the fireplace, the stairway and bridge that spans the living room, and the gridded steel window compositions.

Jason combined architectural steel and glass to lighten up the stairway while creating a sculptural showpiece for the center of the home. The stair concept was completely unique and innovative at that time, providing full visibility into the kitchen and living spaces from every angle as well as transparency from the entry through to the exterior view up Fox Creek. A continuous glass rail splits the steel stringers which float effortlessly between the heavy timeframe through the design of concealed fasteners and a minimalist aesthetic.

This original stair design was copyrighted in 2015 and still serves as an inspiration today.

Minimalist steel windows are meticulously placed to compliment the structural order and proportions of the home while ensuring that every exterior view is a beautifully framed landscape composition.
