MONTANA STYLE HOME DESIGN PLANS

Against the stunning backdrop of Montana’s wilderness, this custom home exemplifies Mountain Modern architecture, blending rustic charm with timeless elegance. The home features classic gable roofs, a dual-pitched awning, and traditional Douglas fir beams alongside natural stone accents. Expansive windows capture views of the surrounding mountains and forests, seamlessly connecting the indoor and outdoor spaces.

The use of glass breezeways separates the main living area from the garage and bedrooms, allowing natural light to flow through the home and maintaining a harmonious connection with the environment. Inside, the open-concept layout with vaulted wood ceilings and exposed timber beams creates a sense of grandeur and warmth. The great room, anchored by a striking stone fireplace, serves as the heart of the home, while a vaulted loft space provides room for relaxation or entertaining.

The outdoor spaces are designed to be as much a part of the living experience as the indoors. The deck and awning over the patio are ingeniously suspended with steel suspension rods, creating an airy, floating effect that enhances the feeling of openness and connection to the environment.

Inside, the open-concept floor plan is designed for modern living, with spaces that flow seamlessly into one another. The sleek metal fireplace serves as a central feature, dividing the living and dining areas while maintaining the openness of the space. This fireplace not only adds warmth but also acts as a sculptural element within the minimalist interior.

The use of minimalist Douglas fir posts and beams throughout the home brings natural warmth and texture to the otherwise sleek, modern design. The floor-to-ceiling window wall in the living room is another standout feature, offering uninterrupted views of the outdoors and flooding the interior with natural light.

The Vancouver Butterfly home exemplifies Modern Contemporary architecture with a focus on clean design and a connection to the environment. Its thoughtful features make it a comfortable and inviting space that aligns well with modern living while embracing its natural surroundings.

    OUR HOMES ARE EXTREMELY DURABLE AND DESIGNED FOR THE CLIMATE

    Whether your home is in Park City, Utah, Alaska, Revelstoke or Whistler, BC, Big Sky, Montana, or Lake Tahoe, California, Purcell embraces demanding climates. Our homes are designed and built to withstand the heaviest snowfall and extreme weather, including high hurricane winds and seismic activity along the coastlines of British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, and California.

    We also specialize in oceanfront and lakefront design and build projects, addressing floodplain concerns and strict waterfront setback requirements. By utilizing cantilevering, we maximize site use and enhance views, ensuring that each home not only withstands nature’s challenges but also harmonizes beautifully with its surroundings.

    Our expertise is conventional wood framing, adhering to all building codes, including the particularly stringent codes of British Columbia, Canada, and California, USA. Our buildings are engineered, plan-stamped, and inspected on-site, receiving final certification from structural engineers. Built to meet rigorous live load requirements, our homes are prepared for all environmental conditions, ensuring our homes are at the forefront of safety, durability, and beauty in any setting.
