Logan Pavilion

The Logan Pavilion is a private residence located on a sagebrush plain north of Jackson, Wyoming.  The project parameters for this architect’s home were an aggressive four month construction schedule with a tight budget.  These goals were challenging to meet in the construction economy of this rapidly growing resort community. 

The 2,475 sf three bedroom, two bath home with a two-car attached garage borrows its form from the vernacular hay shed.  The gabled roof, held aloft on tall columns, is an appropriate symbol for shelter on the open plains.  Exterior materials include cedar shingles, siding and decking, and rusted sheet steel, chosen for their ability to weather gracefully and blend with the colors of the landscape.  Recycled and manufactured materials give the interior a contemporary feel.  Oiled masonite wall paneling, raw MDF cabinetry and an oiled concrete floor are economical interior finish solutions that allow inexpensive materials to speak for themselves.
