Located on a sagebrush plain north of Jackson, Wyoming, Logan Pavilion is the family home of Eric Logan, FAIA, Design Principal at CLB Architects. Originally built in 1997 on an aggressive four-month construction schedule and a tight budget, the minimalist home has adapted over time, evolving with the family’s needs.

Modern open-plan living and dining room with a corrugated metal ceiling, exposed beams, and polished concrete floors. A rustic wood-burning stove stands by large glass doors offering views of a natural landscape. The living area features a dark sectional sofa, wood coffee table, and mustard yellow armchairs.

The home borrows its form from vernacular hay sheds. The gabled roof, held aloft on tall columns, is an appropriate symbol for shelter on the open plains. The architect selected the exterior materials — cedar shingles, siding, and decking, as well as rusted sheet steel — for their ability to weather gracefully and blend with the colors of the landscape.

In 2001, the family added a guest house, which provides a space to host visitors, a yoga/workout room, and a space away from the main house. Today, with a new remodel completed in 2020, the home comprises four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a detached garage. Throughout the family’s time on the property, they have responsibly created a more diverse landscape by integrating plants and trees for shade and to provide habitat for wildlife.

Raw Materials

Recycled and manufactured materials give the interior a contemporary feel. Oiled masonite wall paneling, raw MDF cabinetry, and an oiled concrete floor are economical interior finish solutions that allow the home to speak for itself.

Modern building entrance at dusk, featuring a weathered Corten steel facade and corrugated roof. A light wooden deck leads to the dark door, illuminated by a warm exterior light and interior window glow. A metal planter with greenery sits beside the door, with trees visible against a blue sky.

Modern dining area featuring a large wooden table with a concrete bowl and an open book. Sunlight casts diagonal shadows across a white wall displaying a dark, textured metal artwork. Large windows offer views of an autumn landscape with trees and grass, beneath a corrugated metal ceiling and an exposed riveted beam.

At Home in the Landscape

Built to maximize natural light, cross-ventilation, and surrounding views of the Teton Mountains, the home is firmly situated in the Western landscape. Extreme weather conditions necessitated a sturdy structure, and the form’s deep overhangs provide shelter from sun or snow.

Spacious, custom garage featuring two vintage Porsches in the foreground, an olive green Moto Guzzi motorcycle on a red lift, and a man working at a detailed workbench. The room has warm wood paneling, a large vinyl record collection, hanging bicycles, modern lounge chairs, and industrial lighting.
