Inspired by Place - CLB Architects

Inspired by Place, created by CLB Architects. 448 pages of full color photographs. foreword by Ian Volner, introduction by Tom Kundig. A tribute to Jackson Hole, Wyoming and Montana, to rocks and stones and trees, to big and to gentle. CLB Architects was founded in 1992, in what was an almost shy ski town, mountain village. Jackson Hole has become the very front edge of rural modernism, the literal icon of residential architecture and design in the mountains, of the mountains.  CLB is right there, a fine and wonderful crew, bent to the task of keeping honor and power and sheer intelligence pointed right at the design of their mountain houses. In a way, their harshest critics are the trees and the land, the mountains and the streams, the wind and snow and the animals. And all of history. And they know it. Ten very powerful wood and stone houses, presented in the fullest color and in the fullest natural context.
