JACKSON
HOLE, Wyo., June 25,
2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Following many years of
dreaming, researching and collecting ideas from their world
travels, WRJ Design co-founders Rush
Jenkins and Klaus Baer are
opening the doors to their new headquarters, Stags Landing, an
extraordinary and versatile property in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. A collaboration with
architecture firm Northworks, builder Bulley & Andrews and
landscape architecture firm HDLA, the new headquarters, nestled in
the heart of Jackson at the base
of Snow King Mountain, has been called "the most significant and
ambitious structural achievement in Jackson Hole in 30 years." A passion project
for Jenkins and Baer, Stags Landing cements their reputation as a
top national design firm while reinforcing Jackson Hole as the "heart center" that drew
the duo from Manhattan nearly 15
years ago.
At Stags Landing, symmetry, proportion and
balance serve as the architectural foundation for an in-person,
hands-on experience of WRJ Design's elegant mountain
aesthetic.
Stags Landing is a high-end, multifaceted design experience
featuring a luxurious designer showhouse and an inspired office
space and studio for the growing WRJ Design team. An exquisite
reception area, great room, custom show kitchen, BBQ terrace and
English-inspired courtyard are available for private functions and
events to benefit the local community, while a lavish private
residence is an additionally unique component to the building,
offering an extraordinary living experience for clients and
guests.
To help bring Stags Landing to life, WRJ Design chose
Jackson- and Chicago-based Northworks co-founder
and partner Austin DePree –
following previous collaborations between the teams – to realize
Jenkins' vision for blending classical European design principles
with Jackson Hole's regional
vernacular. DePree, in turn, encouraged WRJ to work
with Bulley & Andrews of Chicago, who tapped local artisans for the
project, as well as occasionally bringing in their own teams. To
realize the crucial landscaping piece of the integrated
indoor-outdoor experience they envisioned, WRJ worked with
landscape architect Bonny
Hershberger, president and managing partner of award-winning
Jackson-based HDLA.
The finished structure has "real quality and soul," says
Jenkins, as it embodies the essence of historical European stone
buildings – "the Cotswolds, for instance, and all the classical
principles of design as practiced by architect Edwin Lutyens in the
early 1900s" – combined with the best of modern, luxurious,
sophisticated Mountain West style. As Baer describes, "We knew that
Stags Landing needed to draw from our inspirations and personal
experiences. We believe that classic architecture, beautiful
gardens, and inspired works of art will serve as the foundation for
elevating our lives and the lives of all who visit."
At Stags Landing, symmetry, proportion and balance serve as the
architectural foundation for an in-person, hands-on experience of
WRJ Design's elegant mountain aesthetic. The WRJ Design team worked
in concert with its partners to perfect the many beautiful,
functioning spaces, with European oak floors throughout and a color
palette that honors the surrounding, majestic natural
landscape.
At Stags Landing, the interiors reflect WRJ Design's signature
approach to interior design, seamlessly marrying rustic elements
with rich textiles, exquisite craftsmanship, and meticulous details
to realize refined living spaces that are both unpretentious and
ultra-luxurious. The design studio keeps resources close at hand
and creativity flowing for WRJ, which has grown since Jenkins and
Baer's arrival in Jackson Hole in
2010 from a three-person office to a full team of 25 with projects
spanning the U.S.
