A PRIVATE ORATORY
in the ROCKY MOUNTAINS
Set within the dramatic landscape of the Rocky Mountains in Wyoming, this private oratory creates a sacred place for contemplation and worship. The modest timber-frame structure draws from the vernacular tradition of mountain chapels, where simplicity of form and honest use of materials create spaces of quiet dignity. Hand-hewn timber posts and beams frame the interior volume, while carefully detailed stonework anchors the building to its mountain setting.
The design embraces restraint as a path to reverence. Natural light filters through traditional divided-lite windows, animating the interior throughout the day and connecting those within to the rhythms of sun and season. Every detail—from the exposed timber joinery to the stone foundation—speaks to the craft traditions that have shaped sacred architecture for centuries. The oratory offers its owners a humble sanctuary, a place apart where the grandeur of the surrounding peaks meets the intimacy of prayer.
