For private members’ club Auric Room 1915, North 45 Projects brings a sense of opulence to Montana’s saloon style and ranch culture. The chic lounge offers food and wine and bourbon tasting in Big Sky’s Lone Mountain Ranch, a 148-acre site that’s been a staple to the area since the development of Yellowstone National Park. The Portland, Oregon–based studio slotted Auric Room into the ranch by conceiving it as a concealed jewel box.
One first enters Auric Room via an inconspicuous closet door, then continues down a stairwell through a tongue-and-groove hallway within the ranch to discover the club. The bar is capped with a glossy tin ceiling with a vintage feel. It’s engraved with floral decals and supported by rafters with beveled edges. All are lit with moody brass fixtures.
