The Mountain Creek Residence is a 6,500 square foot custom home sited on a tranquil stream in Ketchum, Idaho — one of the most considered design commissions Migration Studios has undertaken in the Wood River Valley.

As a luxury home architect in Ketchum Idaho, Cam Minor, AIA approached this project with a material palette rooted in the high desert landscape. Western red cedar, Douglas fir, and Corten steel form an exterior that is warm in summer light and resolute against the harshest Idaho winters — a combination chosen as much for longevity as for beauty. These are materials that earn their place over time, weathering in ways that deepen rather than diminish the architecture.

The home is organized around the stream that runs through the property, with primary living spaces positioned to frame the water as a constant presence rather than an incidental view. Indoor and outdoor living flow together naturally, dissolving the boundary between the crafted interior and the Wood River Valley landscape beyond.

The Mountain Creek Residence remains one of the most architecturally ambitious homes Migration Studios has designed — a mountain modern home in Ketchum where the quality of the design intent speaks for itself.
