Vacation Rentals, Small Hotels, Beach House Rentals and Villas for Rent. Headwaters Camp, Big Sky, Montana. The project, Yellowstone Club’s Headwaters Camp, located in Big Sky, Montana, “is carefully cradled in a world defined by the orderly needs of program and the random artistry of nature in the extreme,” says architect Dan Turvey. Set on the edge of a series of man-made ponds, streams and falls, a rustic cabin appears to hover over the sparkling waters of a high mountain alpine lake.
“Developing our Master Plan on this 22-acre parcel from among others available was a critical decision made by the owner,” Turvey added. “It wasn’t readily apparent that such potential existed on a site that lent itself more to limitations than an envisioned family encampment.” Designing a structure in the Rockies at 8,000 feet, proximate to Yellowstone National Park, presents many challenges, including an active seismic zone, annual snowfall approaching 8 feet and an underlying geology that must be considered well in advance to undertaking any formal response.
