Avalanche Canyon

The scope and scale demanded disciplined coordination across a complex family compound, with every timber assembly needing to align precisely with the architecture, framing, steel, and construction schedule.

The Project Required:

• Resolving details with the architect and design team
• Making structural and applied timbers fit the framing
• Coordinating steel connections with timber assemblies
• Maintaining fabrication accuracy across a large package
• Securing and processing material under schedule pressure

Ridgeline used detailed shop drawings as the bridge between architectural intent and field-ready assemblies, coordinating each system before material reached the jobsite.

Our Approach Included:

• Developing buildable details through design coordination
• Modeling structural ridges, trusses, and roof systems
• Coordinating steel and concealed connection requirements
• Fabricating the timber package off site for accuracy
• Managing procurement and production to protect the schedule

Ridgeline supplied and installed kiln-dried circle-sawn Douglas fir for structural trusses, ridges, roof systems, and applied timber features. Our team also supplied reclaimed corral-board siding and developed the faux-log dovetail exterior details.

Reclaimed hand-hewn timbers were carefully milled and assembled to create convincing dovetail corners that fulfilled the architect’s log-stack vision without compromising the wall system.

The completed home demonstrates Ridgeline’s capacity to carry a large, varied timber scope from coordination through installation. Structural systems, applied timbers, steel, and reclaimed exterior elements read as one unified architectural language.

More than a single residence, Avalanche Canyon became the homeowners’ place for family, guests, music, and memorable gatherings in the Tetons.
