Aman 15 is a custom luxury residence located within the exclusive Amangani Villas community in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, where contemporary mountain architecture responds thoughtfully to both the dramatic landscape and the lifestyle of its owners. Positioned just below the ridgeline of East Gros Ventre Butte, the home takes advantage of its unique site conditions to create a more vertical architectural expression while preserving harmony with the surrounding mountainside.

Situated below the butte's highest elevation, Aman 15 benefits from greater design flexibility while remaining sensitive to the natural terrain. The residence follows the hillside through a carefully composed arrangement of volumes and rooflines, allowing the architecture to blend naturally into its setting while capturing expansive views of the Teton Range, Snake River Valley, and the surrounding Jackson Hole landscape.

Unlike many neighboring villas, Aman 15 embraces a taller profile that enhances both its interior spatial experience and its connection to the site. A walkout lower level opens directly into a tranquil grove of mature aspen trees, creating a seamless transition between the home and its natural surroundings. This level provides additional living and gathering space while allowing residents and guests to experience the beauty of the mountain landscape from every floor.

The home's architectural character is reinforced by a cedar shake roof that follows the natural slope of the hillside, complementing the textures and colors of the surrounding environment. Together with a refined palette of natural wood, stone, steel, and expansive glazing, the residence establishes a timeless mountain aesthetic that feels both contemporary and deeply rooted in place.

Large walls of glass frame panoramic mountain views while filling the interiors with abundant natural daylight. Carefully positioned outdoor terraces and gathering spaces extend the living areas beyond the building envelope, creating effortless indoor-outdoor living and allowing the changing seasons of Jackson Hole to become an integral part of daily life.

Inside, Aman 15 balances architectural drama with understated elegance. A striking glass-enclosed cantilevered steel staircase serves as a sculptural centerpiece, expressing precision engineering and craftsmanship while visually connecting multiple levels of the home. The vaulted primary suite enhances the feeling of openness and tranquility, creating a private retreat that captures both natural light and expansive mountain views.

The residence was further personalized to reflect the homeowners' lifestyle through a more open and informal floor plan. The living room, dining area, and kitchen flow together as one continuous gathering space, encouraging family interaction and entertaining while maintaining uninterrupted connections to the surrounding landscape. This open-concept arrangement enhances flexibility and reinforces the home's contemporary approach to mountain living.

Throughout the residence, custom detailing and carefully selected natural materials create an atmosphere of refined luxury. Every architectural element—from structural steel accents to handcrafted millwork—was designed to contribute to a cohesive living experience where craftsmanship, functionality, and beauty exist in perfect balance.

Sustainability and sensitive site integration remain central to the design. By working with the existing topography and preserving mature vegetation, the home minimizes disturbance to the landscape while enhancing privacy, energy efficiency, and long-term environmental performance. The thoughtful relationship between architecture and site reflects Ward Blake Architects' commitment to creating homes that belong naturally within their surroundings.

Aman 15 embodies Ward Blake Architects' philosophy of designing luxury mountain residences that celebrate both landscape and lifestyle. Through innovative site planning, exceptional craftsmanship, contemporary mountain architecture, and seamless indoor-outdoor living, the home offers a sophisticated retreat that captures the tranquility and beauty of the Amangani community while providing an extraordinary living experience in Jackson Hole.
