Sunshine Daydream

Big Sky, Montana
Set against timbered slopes in Big Sky, this retreat balances calm and character. Conceived as a modern sanctuary for gathering, it pairs rustic warmth with playful restraint. Stone, wood, and steel anchor the structure, while layered textures and rich color bring depth and ease to the interiors.

Architecture and interiors were developed in tandem to create a unified, immersive experience. Geometric lines soften into curves; weathered materials meet refined finishes. A custom Y-shaped dining table centers the living space, while mossy greens from the La Cornue range echo through textiles and into the landscape—punctuated by warm orange and red accents. The result is a home that feels grounded, expressive, and effortlessly alive.

LARRY PEARSON

Larry Pearson
Founding Principal

University of California, Santa Cruz

Larry Pearson loves to ask questions. His favorite ones start with the same word: “How.” How do we define yet integrate space: space for solitude, space for family, space for friends? How do we tie the lines of architecture to this natural backdrop? How can we authentically connect humans with design—physically, visually, socially, and emotionally?

For more than three decades, these are the design puzzles Larry has worked to solve, one structure at a time, each a unique answer in itself. Influenced by his clients’ dreams; his travels in the US, Asia, and Europe; and a palpable fascination with regional materials and settings, Larry thirsts to create bespoke designs that enrich human patterns of life…or even create new ones.

The natural migration from room to room, the uninterrupted flow from inside to outside, the internal human shifts from “world” to “home”—those are the elements Larry always seeks to elevate, enhance, and ease through design.
