Grand Teton National Park Association
HandsOn Designed these lower level offices back in 2004. Our goal was to distribute the natural light from just a few windows throughout the interior, resulting in a series of private windowed offices (sandblasted for privacy) around some open office cubicles. Ten years later the organization was looking more more private spaces. We responded by installing sliding glass doors on custom steel supports between raised cubicle walls that stop short of the ceiling so fire sprinklers weren't affected. We also added custom beech cabinetry along corridors walls, and divided some offices in half with decorative partitions.
Modular Eco-Hotel
Schematic Design
Proposed 5 unit condo-hotel development on Flat Creek in the Town of Jackson. Steel moment frames fastened to concrete footings create ground floor parking with side by side prefabricated modules stacked above. Atop that volume is a covered roof deck with sauna and outdoor fireplace. Photovoltaic cells, rainwater collection cisterns, geothermal heating, intgral bike racks and recycling bins support Jacksons
Public Restroom Prototypes
Teton County Parks & Recreation
Prototypical restroom structures and outdoor pavilions scattered throughout Teton County. The design of the structures is a an attempt to develop a sustainable, cost effective architectural prototype that represents Teton County’s historic agricultural heritage while providing self sufficient, tamper resistant public amenities.
The Lux Lounge
Mobile cocktail lounge
Constructed from the shell of a vintage Airstream,The Lux Lounge incorporates two seating areas on either side of a fully stocked central bar, and can also serve exterior partygoers through a large awning window.

Inn On The Creek
Proposed Expansion
Proposed 4,800 sq.ft. hotel renovation creates 10 condo-hotel units ranging in size between 380 and 1,240 sq.ft. Expansion is based on zoning footprint. Designed by Praxis LLC, a joint venture partnership between HandsOn Design and Medicine Hat Inc. of Gallatin Gateway, MT. Unbuilt.
Office Building Addition
Town of Jackson
Exploration of development options related to a corner town lot with rear alley access. Designed to accommodate additional mixed use development on adjacent lots as they became available. Existing single story home would be relocated and additional buiding segments could be constructed as additive geometries without compromising the new construction. Parking largely accommodated on two streetfronts in Special Parking District.
Barn in foreground is ranch Manager's residence. Behind is the Bunkhouse, with (4) bedroom suites and communal kitchen for truck drivers and private pilots.
The upper level was built of prefabricated storage trusses with a 2x12 bottom chord acting as floor framing. In this way, the sheathed upper floor could seismically stabilize the historic log structure below.

Jackson Land and Cattle-
Historic Renovations
Formerly known as the Spring Gulch Equestrian Center, the project includes the renovation of three separate existing structures: a 10,000 sq,ft, hayshed conversion to a shop/ maintenance facility, a 2,100 sq.ft. storage building conversion to guest housing, and a 3,400 sq.ft. log barn conversion to a ranch manager’s residence. Anecdotal information suggests that this barn is in fact the oldest structure in Jackson Hole, though not at its current location. An innovative prefabricated truss system including an integrated floor structure was used at the upper level stabilize the log wall structure below.
Double J Ranch
