About This Project

The Gallatin River Cottage is located at the edge of a large cottonwood meadow.  Natural materials like wood and stone are used throughout this home design to further incorporate the beauty of the surrounding area.  The main entry is two stories tall with floor to ceiling glass on three of its four sides.  An open tread staircase winds up this two story space, allowing for varying views of the valley floor, tree canopy and nearby pond.  The pond is fed by the Gallatin River and can be enjoyed from a covered living area during every season of the year.  Please follow the Design & Build story of the Gallatin River Cottage as we develop custom details like wood window shutters, a master fireplace, timber trusses and more!

Design

Concept Sketching

We take pride in respectfully capturing the individual style of each client. For us, it all starts with a pen and paper.

Build

Breaking Ground

Got to love the dig! BKS Design and Build is starting a new custom home. We're calling it the Gallatin River Cottage and it is going to be incredible!

Starting Strong

Soils have been dug-to-depth, compacted and rolled. Our engineer signed off on quality and we've started building up.

Thought Out Views

The footings are poured and the shape of the Gallatin River Cottage is visible. The placement and orientation of this home is very thoughtful.

Formed Walls

The Gallatin River Cottage is ready to be back-filled after some much deserved 4th of July fun.

Back-Filling

Back-Filling the Gallatin River Cottage involves moving a lot of dirt. It also means we have to dig water lines and plumb utilities into the house.

A Glass House

Notice the two halves of this home are separated by a view. We intend to keep that view with two story walls of glass.

Never Settle, Always Progress

This patio is unlike anything we've ever attempted at BKS Design & Build. Big thanks to our friends at Sight Tech Construction for their partnership.

Stamped Concrete

Welcome to the front entry at the Gallatin River Cottage.

Back Yard

This covered back patio is open to the pond and can be enjoyed every season of the year.

Heavy Timbers

12" x 12" timbers are finding there place in the entryway. This entryway is going to capture hearts.

Timber Framing

This entry is a year in the making and although it isn't finished it already captivates you.

Pond Landscapes

If architecture is art than this is the canvas at the Gallatin River Cottage. We're so inspired by this place!

Weathered-In

We beat the weather! Roof is covered and windows are installed.
