A young family desired to build a retreat on a large lot located outside Jackson Hole, Wyoming in bucolic Teton County, Idaho. The design locates the house amidst an expansive wetland that fluctuates seasonally.  A small, spring-fed creek to the south supports a healthy cutthroat trout population.  To the east and west are spectacular mountain views and from the south blows a consistent wind.
