Chalet YCMT

Big Sky, Montana
At once bright and grounded, this 6,500-square-foot ski-in/ski-out retreat channels the relaxed sophistication of a European chalet, reinterpreted for Montana’s Yellowstone Club.

Designed for a young family who live for the slopes, the home transitions effortlessly between energy and calm. Protected entries open to sunlit interiors wrapped in reclaimed wood and tactile finishes that invite touch. Every detail reflects clarity and craft—nothing overdone, everything considered.

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.
