This western style lodge-like home is located on a small knoll just north of Ketchum, Idaho, on what many locals consider to be the finest home site in the Sun Valley area. A jagged ridge line and valley views surround this house for a full 360° panorama of unspoiled, dramatic mountain scenery. Drawing inspiration from the small seasonal stream in a nature preserve behind the house, a newly created cascading brook appears to flow through this home and down the hillside. To complement the architecture, James Marzo Design created an interior which eschewed trends or clichés, yet was firmly rooted in Sun Valley and the American West. Almost all of the furnishings and decorative light fixtures were custom designed by James Marzo for this home. Environmental sensitivity was an important concern for this project. In this spirit, many unusual found objects were repurposed and given new lives as unique, original furnishings. James Marzo Design is firmly committed to creating timeless and enduring interiors. We believe that this is the most green approach to design.
