The living spaces of the house are arranged towards the broad perspectives of the valley and the Great Salt Lake.

Broad site research, customer connection, and space arranging joined with a comprehensive outline procedure made this effective and wonderful private home. The perspectives and connection between the building and the site was a key component of the project, with outside recreational space in the back of the house and overhang territories on the west side.

What’s more, these materials improve the present day stylish of the house. This current tasteful is proceeded in the inside of the house with the utilization of cutting edge building materials and straightforward, clean lines. The inside completion subtle elements of the house all strengthen the exquisite tasteful found on the outside and together make this present day private symbol for Salt Lake City. The volumes of the house take after the incline of the landscape and fortify the coordination of the house into its surroundings.
