Home Ranch

Demarcating the northern entrance to Jackson, Wyoming’s historic downtown, the Home Ranch Center will serve as a community hub for both residents and visitors alike.  A forest of log columns will introduce visitors to an interactive display that will inform and educate on the natural splendor that Jackson, Wyoming is uniquely centered within. These columns will support a large canted roof with glass clerestory that tilts up to the southern light and the omnipresent backdrop of downtown Jackson, Snow King Mountain. Dappled light will fill the space, created by the carefully placed screens that wrap the glass curtain walls and log columns of the main hall.

The building replaces an existing well-worn public restroom facility and updates this function with a robust material palette to provide increased longevity.  A LEED Silver rating is being pursued in accordance with the Town’s sustainability initiative.  Directly adjacent to the primary parking lot for visitors arriving from points north to experience downtown Jackson, the Home Ranch Center will also serve as a transportation hub for the valley’s public transit service.
