The Home
In Photographs
A slope-side custom residence in the Diamond Hitch neighborhood — designed and managed from first concept through the final punch-list detail.
Set on a steep, slope-side parcel in the Diamond Hitch neighborhood of Moonlight Basin, Mountain Veil is a true ski-in/ski-out residence — a home where the mountain is, quite literally, the front door. The site asked hard questions from the start: how to meet a demanding grade, how to thread ski access alongside the arrival sequence, and how to frame the enormous Montana views without surrendering warmth or privacy.
As designer and project manager, Nicholas Modroo carried the home from initial concept through construction administration and punch-list close-out — coordinating the architect, engineers, and builder so the vision survived intact all the way to the keys. The result reads effortless: clean, contemporary volumes grounded in stone and timber, walls of glass that dissolve into the landscape, and decks that step out to meet the slope.
Inside, the home is built for both big gatherings and quiet mornings — an open kitchen and dining core anchored by a sculptural island, generous windows that pull the peaks indoors, and a material palette that stays warm through hard mountain winters. Click out of your skis at the door; pour a coffee and watch the snow fall through the glass.
