When one wants a strong connection between the comfort of indoor living and the beauty of the outside natural surroundings, what better part of this country to build in than Montana? That's just what this owner wanted. They choose to build along Hyalite Creek in Bozeman where landscape played a major role in the overall design of this custom home.
Why SIPS?: With the complexity of this design and the limited crew, the architect needed to use an efficient design and manner of building. SIPS were the perfect solution for time and labor constraints.
Benefits of SIPS:
- Reduced job site waste: Almost no waste of panel material because of a factory-installed lumber package and custom-cut panels.
- Versatility and flexibility for complex designs like curved walls and butterfly plane roofs.
- Labor constraints: Because SIPS combine structural panels with insulation... they can reduce the time it takes to frame a house and minimize the number of steps needed to be completed on-site.
Innovative Design Elements:
- Butterfly roof planes
- Curved walls
- Low slope roof
- Angeld moment frame

- High-density EPS under and around slab foundation
- Radiant slabs used throughout
- Efficient Lighting
- Ground source heat pumps
- Solar water heating
