There’s something so special about fall. From the crisp air and the autumnal hues that frame the mountains to cozy knits, warm ciders, and scenic drives — fall is a time to honor the summer that’s past and prepare for the winter that’s ahead. For those of us at Utah Style & Design, this fall, especially, is one to celebrate. We recently began accepting submissions for the magazine’s fi rst-ever Utah Design Awards, a new annual program that will recognize and showcase the incredible work of our local interior designers, architects, builders, landscapers, and more. To commemorate this historic moment, we held a kickoff party at Curate to the Trade, our region’s top source for all things design. Our team got the chance to speak one-on-one with local industry

professionals about the importance of this program in highlighting the exceptional talent that makes up this remarkable community. Another reason to celebrate? Personally, it’s my fi rst issue as editor of the magazine — and it’s also the fi rst for my colleague, Avrey Evans, as our editor-in-chief. It’s been such an incredible experience meeting and chatting with the designers who make up our fi rst issue together. Avrey said it best: “We’ve woven together an issue that not only celebrates all things autumn, but also introduces our readers to what’s new and what’s next in the place they call home.” I couldn’t agree more. From the bold to the traditional, and from Alpine to St. George, each home we’ve featured recognizes, as Avrey says, “the breadth of easy fall living.” She adds, “There’s so much to love within these pages, from hotel remodels that might inspire you to take a week off and escape down south, to brand-new design showrooms in the heart of the city.” So, from Avrey and me, we hope these pages encourage you to savor this gorgeous season in style.

Light and dark. Soft and brooding. Delicate and enduring. The new Tyche pendants from Arteriors prompt a lesson in duality. Inspired by the ornate broad collars worn by ancient Egyptians, the collection skirts the line between historical influence and contemporary utility. Crafted from swirling translucent resin, the cream interpretation radiates a warm incandescence above entryways and powder rooms; the moody equivalent is cast from hammered bronze resin, its textured surface catching the light throughout the day.

IT’S AN UNLIKELY COMBO THAT FEELS JUST RIGHT — nostalgic and new, cutting-edge yet classic. Retro futurism mixes forward thinking design with vintage-inspired materials like travertine, marble, and wool. It’s taken over the worlds of both fashion and interiors—in fact, the concept was brilliantly showcased at Louis Vuitton’s 2026 Fall-Winter menswear show, where creative director Pharrell Williams reimagined “a future already in motion.” Here, we showcase pieces that blend the past with the future.

PERMANENT FIXTURES Kohler opens a splashy new showroom in Salt Lake City’s Trolley Square

CLOCKWISE, FROM TOP LEFT: Highlights of the new Kohler showroom include a vignette showcasing the brand’s recently-launched Claude Bathroom Collection by Kohler x Studio McGee. Designer Shea McGee of Studio McGee signs her new cookbook, Around the Table, while speaking on the new collection. A quartz-topped vanity and rectangular-framed mirrors, available in a variety of finishes, are just a few of the new pieces featured in the exclusive collaboration. The collection also includes a gorgeous free-standing tub with a deep-soaking interior and historic-inspired design.

IT’S NOT OFTEN THAT THE ARRIVAL OF A KITCHEN AND BATH STORE ATTRACTS A CROWD OF MAGAZINE EDITORS, interior design stars, and social media influencers, but when the store is a new Kohler outpost debuting a fresh collaboration with Shea McGee of Studio McGee, then a spot on the grand opening guest list becomes something of a golden ticket — or, in this case, a brass, chrome, and polished nickel ticket. In May, Kohler revealed its fi rst Utah showroom in Salt Lake City’s historic Trolley Square. It’s the newest retailer to join the mall’s design district, alongside the likes of Pottery Barn, West Elm, and Rejuvenation. The store is one of the largest Kohler retail environments in North America and features interactive, functioning displays. Highlights of the space include an expanded kitchen section, new wellness products (saunas and ice baths, for example), and the exclusive Claude Bathroom Collection by Kohler x Studio McGee. Inspired by historic details but made for modern living, the Claude Collection includes a large free-standing tub, framed mirrors, pedestal and console sinks, vanity cabinets, and an elegant toilet and smart toilet. Claude marks the sixth product collaboration between Kohler and Studio McGee, spanning kitchen, bathroom, and lighting collections. “There’s always an element of nostalgia in every single thing I design, but I’m also really cognizant of how we live in our homes and how we need pieces to work for us,” McGee said in a conversation with House Beautiful’s Carisha Swanson at the store’s opening. “I want my bathroom to feel like a retreat, but I also want it to function for me.” Additional grandopening festivities included a Kohler-branded coffee bar, tray-passed breakfast bites by The Blended Table, custom-embroidered tote bags by Well Stitched Embroidery, abundant floral arrangements by Rachael Ellen Events, a meet-and-greet with McGee, and a book signing for her new cookbook, Around the Table. 602 E. 500 South, SLC 801-401-7139 kohler.com

GOING BIG Major resort developments are carving a new era in the Wasatch Back BY GIUSEPPA NADROWSKI

THE SLOPE Set on the Provo River with sweeping views of Mount Timpanogos, The Slope — Heber’s fi rst Alpine village — is a new luxury resort from Angstrom Development Group (ADG) that prioritizes family-friendly experiences, outdoor recreation, and design-forward amenities. “It’s meant to be a destination within a destination,” says Neil Goldman, partner at ADG. The walkable village includes an 85-key Andaz hotel, as well as 200 fully-furnished private condos and villas, 100,000 square feet of retail, a year-round tubing hill, and more. “We’re trying to create an elevated family location,” says Goldman. ADG worked with Gomez Vasquez International Architects, as well as interior design fi rm weStudio to create spaces that foster connection between families and the outdoors — something Goldman believes was previously lacking in the region. For the aesthetic, Goldman encouraged the design teams “to blend the vibe of Kyoto with the family-friendly luxury resorts of the Alps.” The ultimate goal, he notes, is to “create an environment where people just want to come, relax for a couple hours — or a couple days or a couple weeks — and just enjoy themselves.” theslope.com

PHOTOS, TOP DOWN: The Slope’s Neil Goldman says offering luxurious wellnessfocused areas that foster connection was a priority at the resort — think saunas in every private residence, conversation pits in the villas, a rooftop restaurant, a plaza with farmers markets, ice bumper cars, concerts, and more. “Every element from the ski beach to the hotels, branded residences, restaurants, and retail is intended to feel walkable, welcoming, and refined.” — Deer Valley East Village developer Kurt Krieg. Principal Josh Chaiken, AIA, of Kohn Pedersen Fox, says the Waldorf Astoria Deer Valley’s architecture “engages the sloping terrain directly, stepping down in a series of terraces — each with its own amenity, its own relationship to the mountain — so the building feels less like an object placed on the site and more like an extension of it.” The hotel’s principal interior designer, William Harris, of AvroKO, adds that the goal was to “create a magnetic experience — one you simply don’t want to leave.” Eran Chen, founder and executive director of ODA, the New York-based firm behind Four Seasons Deer Valley, says the challenge in designing against such an incredible backdrop was resisting “the temptation to compete with it.” He adds: “The Wasatch range doesn’t need an architectural statement; it already makes one. What it needs is a village that feels like it belongs.”

( TOP) COURTESY OF GVI ARCHITECTS; (OTHERS) E X TELL DEVELOPMENT COMPANY

DEER VALLEY EAST VILLAGE As the fi rst major public Alpine ski resort development in North America in more than 40 years, Deer Valley East Village is set to transform the mountainside with a luxurious year-round, pedestrian-friendly destination that feels connected to the landscape while offering world-class hospitality for visitors and locals alike. Leading the transformation is Extell Development Co. (EDC) in partnership with Reef Capital Partners. “We felt a responsibility to deliver something that honors Deer Valley’s extraordinary natural setting,” says Kurt Krieg, EDC’s executive vice president of resort development. “The architecture draws from the idea of a contemporary chalet village, using stone, wood, and glass to create a warm, human-scaled environment that feels connected to the mountainous terrain.” Set to be completed in stages by 2030, the development will bring more than 800 hotel rooms and nearly 1,700 private residences, anchored by the Four Seasons Resort Deer Valley, the Waldorf Astoria Deer Valley, the Canopy by Hilton, the condos of Cormont, the Olson Kundig-designed Marcella Landing townhomes, and the recently opened Grand Hyatt. The development also includes almost 200,000 square feet of retail/commercial space and 68,000 square feet for recreation. In addition, residents and visitors will have direct access to the resort’s historic terrain expansion, now spanning 32 chairlifts and over 200 ski runs, as well as premium amenities like an iceskating ribbon and an amphitheater. deervalleyeastvillage.com

Nature’s Populus Hotel in Denver embodies an eco-friendly ethos BY AVREY EVANS

Way PHOTO CREDIT

PHOTOS COURTESY OF POPULUS DENVER

38 U T A H S T Y L E A N D D E S I G N . C O M | F A L L 2 0 2 6

ODAY’S ST YLE-SAV V Y TR AVELERS REQUIRE MORE of their accommodations than a cozy guest room and unfussy adventure fuel; instead, they’re seeking retreats that marry a sense of place with intentional core experiences. Denver’s new Populus Hotel effortlessly meets these high standards, and as the country’s first carbon-positive urban stay, the hotel is a destination of its own.

Sustainability Made Stylish Designed by AD100 architecture and urban design firm Studio Gang, the sculptural facade of the 13-story building mimics Colorado’s native aspen trees. Geometric eye-shaped windows emulate the tree’s bark pattern and, on the interior, double as window hammocks for guests to lounge on

while observing the city beyond. This biophilic spirit extends through the public ground floor and into Populus’ 265 guest rooms, where natural tones and textures foster a relaxing sanctuary. The hotel’s sustainable practices include the use of recycled building materials, 100 percent renewable energy, on-site biodigesters that compost all of the hotel’s food waste, and a partnership with the National Forest Foundation through its One Night, One Tree program, which plants a tree for every night’s stay.

Western-Driven Details Led by Pittsburgh-based Wildman Chalmers Design, the hotel’s interior pays homage to the Mountain West by embracing an earthy palette and intentional details — including staining the concrete floor to simulate a natural woodland setting. A curved staircase anchors the main floor, while distressed reclaimed wood slats on the ceiling and a grand cottonwood log desk at check-in further the hotel’s arboreal allure.

Beyond Farm-to-Table On Populus’ “forest floor,” Pasque is an all-day dining destination helmed by Chef Ian Wortham — formerly of the Michelin Guide-awarded Tavernetta. The menu fluctuates to showcase seasonal items and farm-sourced ingredients. Undulating curved banquettes echo the hotel’s organic spirit, while natural stone tables and repurposed wood ceiling details invite curiosity. Stellar Jay, the hotel’s rooftop restaurant, pairs sweeping skyline views with live-fire cooking. Verdant cork wall details, green lime-washed ceilings, and soft brown decor emulate the changing light of a lush canopy.

OPPOSITE: Geometric windows that vary in size and shape define the hotel’s exterior, evoking the eye patterns of an aspen tree. Carefully constructed “lids” top each opening, providing shade to guest rooms and architectural interest. TOP LEFT: A wood installation utilizes the Japanese art of Yakisugi, a centuries-old method of charring and preserving wood. Overhead, a series of steel disks called “The Canopy” refract light throughout the restaurant. MIDDLE: The ground floor includes Pasque and the Little Owl Coffee Bar. Above, flexible meeting spaces host business events and pop-ups. BOTTOM RIGHT: The hotel’s 265 guest rooms embrace a calming palette, mixing organic textures with unfinished concrete columns. Windows flood the rooms with natural light and frame the mountain and city views beyond.

RENOVATION TRENDS

Purpose- BUILT Designated hobby spaces are making a comeback

Strike A Chord For her client, Emmy Award-winning speaker, bestselling author, and professional drummer Clint Pulver, design principal Nicole Frazier, of EDI Utah, transformed unused space beneath the musician’s staircase into a hidden drum studio.

OR DECADES, “HOME RENOVATION” has been synonymous with swinging a sledgehammer. Somewhere along the way, HGTV convinced us that every good renovation begins with a designer in a hard hat declaring, “Th is wall has got to go.” Kitchens merged with living rooms, oﬃces disappeared into great rooms, and open-concept became the gold standard. But after years of living without doors, many homeowners are rediscovering the appeal of rooms with a purpose. Turns out a little separation

has its virtues. Quiet nooks invite creativity without interruption, projects can be left unfi nished without becoming part of the décor, and sometimes the greatest luxury is simply being able to close the door. Design principal Nicole Frazier, of EDI Utah, wasn’t interested in hiding her client’s passions; rather, she wanted to give him a room of his own. While creating a home layered with warm woods, raw materials, and serene, Zenlike spaces, she tucked an unexpected surprise beneath the stairs: a hidden drum studio designed for her client,

Emmy Award-winning speaker, bestselling author, and professional drummer Clint Pulver. “Clint wanted a place to display the three drum kits that essentially launched his career,” Frazier shares. Located just off a gathering space with sweeping views of the infi nity pool and Utah Valley below, the studio gives him a place to rehearse, record, and create a concert-like atmosphere without disrupting the rest of the house. Heavy acoustic glass windows perform a clever double act, containing the sound while inviting guests to watch the action inside. Concert lighting bathes the drum kits atop stage-like platforms, transforming them into sculptural centerpieces, while backlit portraits of Pulver’s musical heroes turn the walls into a personal rock-and-roll hall of fame. “The sound just vibrates inside that room,” Frazier says. “It really feels like being at a concert.” It’s also proof that today’s hobby rooms are about far more than storage. Whether it’s a music studio, an art atelier, or a couture-worthy sewing room, purposebuilt spaces celebrate the passions of the people who use them — and remind us that sometimes the best room in the house is the one with a door.

King Pin The line between hobby room and party space all but disappears in this spectacular home bowling alley, where a star-studded ceiling and richly detailed oak paneling set the stage. Tasked with carrying the home’s Old-World aesthetic into every corner, designer Shea McGee proves that even a bowling alley can be breathtaking. Equal parts recreation room and showpiece, it’s quite possibly the prettiest bowling alley we’ve ever laid eyes on.

Mini-Masters Class is in session at this art studio, designed for in-home sewing and art instruction with children in mind. Designer Kylee Weathers of AVNI Design worked with the artistic homeowner to create a space perfect for young ones, complete with easels, personal paint palettes and paints, framed artistic creations, and plenty of natural light.

For The Record

Growing Room Growing a greenhouse takes more than a green thumb — it takes serious know-how. Built for a Highland homeowner by David Hoyal of Hoyal Construction, the attached garden is just steps from the kitchen, making vine-ripened tomatoes and fresh herbs part of the everyday menu. Masonry planting beds are crowned with wire-mesh trellises that coax climbing vines skyward, while a sun-angled roof, engineered to both capture and soften daylight, pairs with suspended circulation fans; the result is a perfect year-round growing environment.

Sew Lovely With the charm of a Parisian fashion atelier, this sewing room crafted by Ali Henrie Design proves that utility can be downright glamorous. Conceived for a creative homeowner, the space pairs beauty with function: stylish task lighting illuminates a lineup of sewing machines, a spacious island makes cutting and pinning effortless, and dress forms and inspiration boards hint at designs in the making. A cozy window nook, furnished with an overstuffed chair and an ottoman, is perfect for paging through pattern books, hand-stitching a hem, or simply unwinding between projects.

A desert hotel receives a head-to-toe renovation to preserve its western heritage and embrace contemporary hospitality

UCKED IN A REMOTE GLEN ALONGSIDE THE COLOR ADO RIVER, Red Cliffs Lodge Moab is a collection of 110 standalone cabins and creekside suites. The property, which began as a working ranch settled in the 1800s, has endured multiple interpretations over its 200-year history. The desert setting also played a key role in Utah’s fi lm history, drawing dozens of Hollywood figures like the acclaimed John Ford, who fi lmed Rio Grande and Fort Apache amidst Moab’s iconic red rock landscapes. Entering a new era of hospitality, Red Cliffs Lodge recently joined the Marriot’s Tribute Portfolio and underwent a multimilliondollar transformation that both honors the property’s Western roots and welcomes the comforts of a modern age. Creating a refi ned, National Parkinspired retreat was at the heart of the renovation, headed by designers Sormeh Rienne and Stina Funch of Atwater Inc. Studio in Los Angeles. Drawing inspiration from the surrounding landscape, the duo refreshed guest rooms and social spaces with organic textiles and earthy hues, and sourced natural materials to echo the Utah desert. The approach required both restraint and innovation, resulting in spaces that elevate their dramatic surroundings rather than competing with them.

Gather The original lodge resembled a dated cabin, marked by a drab palette and a domineering stone fi replace. Low walls bisected the space into a disjointed breakfast hall and check-in area, while the spectacular creekside vistas remained hidden from view. To open the space for communal leisure, Rienne reimagined the floor plan to flow organically between the lobby and dining spaces. Rustic tongue-in-groove ceiling planks and log columns celebrate

The reimagined floor plan inside Red Cliffs’ lodge enhances the captivating desert views, while creating distinct zones for dining, leisure, and happy hour. A large view framing fireplace anchors the main room, and nods to the property’s storied past.

CLOCKWISE, FROM TOP LEFT: To separate Ember’s bar area from the dining room, floor-toceiling wooden slats were installed between two of the lodge’s original wood columns. The floor’s stone pattern brings in warm desert hues and geometric interest. “I have several details that definitely made my designer heart sing,” designer Sormeh Rienne says, “but I think the most impactful and special was being able to execute the floor pattern at that scale.” The Cowboy Bar & Grill, the hotel’s former restaurant, was cut off from the spectacular views beyond. The hotel’s two-bedroom suites were redesigned by Atwater Inc. Studio’s Stina Funch. “The two levels transition almost like the landscape itself, and the cascading decks are really what make it special. There was so much potential in that footprint. It already had drama, movement, and these incredible outdoor spaces.” The guest rooms were formerly marked by a domineering stone fireplace and monochromatic palette.

the original architecture, while the formerly stodgy fi replace was transformed into a view framing central feature. Vertical oak slats anchored to the ceiling subtly demarcate the cocktail lounge from Ember’s dining room without constricting the space, while overhead, recessed lighting draws the eye upward toward the pitched ceiling. “I wanted the transitions to feel natural and intentional, rather than like a series of barriers, and I believe the end result really achieved that,” Rienne reflects. Th roughout the lobby and restaurant areas, Rienne used rustic materials to make connections to the region “while still bringing a sense of character, warmth, and depth to the lodge.” Handmade glazed tile accents, Roman clay, and statement-making stone details contrast with the soft, desert-hued palette. “Warm earth tones reference desert varnish and stone, muted greens echo native cottonwoods, and sun-baked oranges recall seasonal blooms,” Rienne says. “I wanted the materials to feel like an interpretation of the place rather than something imposed upon it.”

In Ember’s bar and dining areas, principal designer Sormeh Rienne sourced stones speciﬁcally with the landscape in mind. “Together, the stones bring depth, warmth, and a subtle connection to the surrounding landscape,” she says.

Set in Stone

In addition to the lobby and guest spaces, Red Cliffs’ former restaurant was completely remodeled and reintroduced as Ember. The sleek new signature dining experience and cocktail lounge offers a live-fire approach to modern American cuisine, as well as some of the best desert views in Moab. Floor-toceiling windows invite diners to admire towering mesas between bites, and bathe the dining hall in golden light during sunset hours. Wide wicker seating lines the plein air patio, while inside, leather and fur textures encourage guests to linger long after dessert.

Ground Atwater Inc. Studio’s Stina Funch led the design approach in the guest suites and cabins, each intentionally placed alongside the curved banks of the Colorado River. In reverence to the hotel’s natural surroundings, Funch balanced comfort with restraint to curate retreats where guests can recharge from the day’s adventures. “The location is extraordinary, and we never wanted the interiors to compete with it,” Funch says. “We borrowed from the landscape — the colors, textures, river rock, desert varnish, and weathered tones. Then we brought those elements inside in a quieter, more contemporary way.” The material and color palette inside the two-level suites and cabins were both derived from the desert scenery beyond. Crackling fireplaces were clad in a stone veneer to emulate the natural varnish on the canyon walls, and river rock appears in the bathrooms to remind guests of the rushing water feature right outside their doors. Desert colors inherent to Moab — rust, sage, warm wood, and

“We wanted to preserve the connection to the Colorado River, the red rock landscape, and the lodge’s Western heritage rather than create something that could exist anywhere. The result feels like an evolution of the lodge’s story, not a departure from it.” — Red Cliffs Lodge general manager Nicholas Fogarty

CLOCKWISE, FROM TOP LEFT: Creekside suites feature materials and textiles inspired by the location. “I love the tables in the rooms that emulate the river rocks outside,” designer Stina Funch says, “and the tile in the living spaces. It’s dusty and a little rusted, but still feels modern.” Two-level guest rooms presented a unique challenge for Funch. “It wasn’t about ‘fixing’ the two-level layout. It was about making sure the interiors lived up to what was already there,” she says. Behind the check-in area, a custom bookcase honors the hotel’s Western heritage with a collection of wildlife figurines, dried flora, Arches National Park memorabilia, and cowboy accessories.

muted greens — are complemented by soft tactile area rugs, bed linens, and woven materials. The end result is a retreat that’s in harmony with its location. “It almost lowers your heartbeat a little,” Funch remarks. “The rooms are meant to be a place where you come back after hiking or exploring all day, take your shoes off, sit down, and just exhale.”

LEFT: Though one of its architects, Jack Smith, describes The Cliff Lodge as “erupting from the canyon like a cliff,” the iconic hotel also pays respect to the surrounding nature. This photo demonstrates how the hotel’s grid pattern mimics striations in the granite Hellgate Cliffs on the canyon’s north side. CLOCKWISE, FROM TOP RIGHT: The Nest’s three window walls comprise 150 separate pieces of triple-pane glass that, along with all of the other construction materials, were transported 9,000 feet up to the building’s remote construction site via snowcat in the winter and on all-terrain vehicles in the summer. The Cliff Lodge’s sun-filled atrium soars 110 feet above inviting lounge areas and a café. Atop the atrium is The Cliff Spa, a 27,000-square-foot sanctuary with treatment rooms, a yoga studio, a gym, an open-air rooftop pool, and a hot tub. Snowbird’s exposed concrete architecture has drawn many to describe its style as brutalist. But for Tang Yang, principal of GSBS Architects, the resort’s current architectural firm, Snowbird is more unique than a singular style. “It’s hard to say that any of the buildings at Snowbird are this or that style, but if you’re looking for an overarching theme there, then it would be modernist,” Yang says.

AST WINTER, SNOWBIRD’S GADZOOM CHAIRLIF T TRE ATED RIDERS TO MORE THAN TR ANSPORT UP THE MOUNTAIN. As the chair reaches 9,000 feet, the ridgeline falls away to reveal The Nest, a new on-mountain restaurant completed in December 2025. It replaces Mid-Gad, a day lodge defi ned by rugged laminate wood beams and black steel gusset plates that had welcomed visitors since Snowbird’s opening day in 1971. At fi rst glance, The Nest’s sleek, cube-like form suggests a clean break from its predecessor. But in fact, many of Mid-Gad’s characteristics were thoughtfully folded into the new building. Th is approach isn’t just nostalgic — it’s part of Snowbird’s enduring architectural legacy as America’s fi rst modernist ski resort, where each addition builds on, rather than replaces, what came before. Jack Smith had not been out of architectural school for long when his skiing buddy, Ted Johnson, then manager of the Alta Lodge, approached him in 1965 about designing a new ski resort in Little Cottonwood Canyon. Johnson and his wife, Wilma, had already been quietly buying land for what they would call Snowbird. “He showed me some sketches he’d drawn up of some A-frames, which I knew wouldn’t last through one winter,” recalls Smith, now 94, who worked in avalanche control at Alta as a student. He responded to Johnson, “Let’s do something completely modern, with the canyon’s challenges in mind, that will set the concept and philosophy behind Snowbird.” With Johnson’s go-ahead, Smith began working on Snowbird’s master plan.

He gathered a group of colleagues — including James Christopher, Dan Kiley, Robert Bliss, Ray Kingston, and others — to create what he describes as a “studiously modern American ski resort.” The group landed on a plan featuring a series of integrated, multilevel structures stepping with the terrain while avoiding avalanche paths. Each had a sod roof to minimize visual impact from above and was to be, as Smith says, “in scale and in partnership with the soaring granite cliffs surrounding them.” Snowbird opened in 1971 with three chairlifts, the Aerial Tram, The Lodge at Snowbird, a resort center, and an on-mountain shelter (as required by the U.S. Forest Service), Mid-Gad Restaurant. Each building featured right angles, little to no ornamentation, and exposed masonry — a style developed, in part, to resist the canyon’s extreme weather and that came to defi ne the Snowbird aesthetic.

PHOTO COURTESY OF GSBS

The 12-story Cliff Lodge, completed in 1973, quickly became the resort’s most recognizable expression of that thinking: an exposed concrete grid, skewed to 45 degrees to capture both sunlight and sweeping canyon views. The Cliff’s 1986 expansion, a 13-story addition connected to the original building by a dizzying 11-story open atrium, deepened the resort’s bold and efficient modernism by pairing darktinted glass with the exposed masonry. That language continued to evolve over time. In 2015, Snowbird opened The Summit, a 23,000-square foot glass and concrete day lodge perched atop the resort’s 11,000-foot high point and Aerial Tram terminus, Hidden Peak. The building’s design was initiated by architect Louis Ulrich and finished by GSBS Architects, which remains the resort’s architectural firm today. “We’re always trying to reduce and make things more efficient at Snowbird, both to align with the resort’s modernist architecture but also remain within budget,” says GSBS principal Tang Yang, who noted that on-mountain constructions, like The Summit and The Nest, are typically twice the cost of projects executed outside of a mountain environment. Back in Gad Valley, Snowbird’s building maintenance team spent more than two years attempting to preserve Mid-Gad, ultimately discovering that 50 years on the mountainside had taken a toll on the structure’s laminated-wood trusses. “We had them analyzed and found that many were almost completely rotted,” says Nima Mahak,

RIGHT: The Nest is certainly impressive from the outside, but looking out through its floor-to-ceiling windows at views of the ski slopes, Little Cottonwood Canyon, and down into the Salt Lake Valley is nothing short of magical. “I wanted guests to be awed by the beauty of the mountain backdrop,” says Soonjun Kwon, GSBS principal and The Nest’s lead architect.

In 2015, Snowbird unveiled The Summit, a 23,000-square-foot glassand-concrete day lodge perched at 11,000 feet atop Hidden Peak, the resort’s highest point and Aerial Tram terminus. In 1965, the Snowbird Design Group conceptualized the resort as a “studiously modern American ski resort” made up of multi-level structures to house overnight lodging and day-skier services. The Snowbird Center continues to serve as the resort’s primary skier services hub and is the origination point for the resort’s centerpiece lift, the Tram.

Snowbird’s senior director of village operations. The effort to save Mid-Gad shaped the process of designing its replacement. “Modern architecture is a pure representation of what a space is for,” explains Soonju Kwon, GSBS principal and lead architect for The Nest. The new day lodge’s design evolved into two spaces: a lunch and break spot focused on the mountain and an efficient venue for culinary staff. “But integrating MidGad’s history was also a high priority,” Kwon says. Those who knew Mid-Gad will recognize The Nest’s many subtle nods to its forebearer. It occupies the exact same footprint and cantilevers over the slope as Mid-Gad did. A wooden slat ceiling echoes the rhythm of the former lodge’s diagonal beams, creating, as GSBS interior designer Beth Jasper describes, “a warm counterpoint to the glass expanses and the bright reflection off the snow outside.” Even the black steel, diamond-shaped window frames mirror Mid-Gad’s original exposed beams — refined but unmistakably familiar.

“Snowbird has never been cliché or tried to be something else,” says Kwon, who was recognized as 2025 Architect of the Year by Women in Architecture Salt Lake City for her leadership on The Nest. “We tried to take the resort’s unique identity and culture and translate it into The Nest. Mid-Gad lasted for 50 years, and we hope The Nest becomes part of the memories Snowbird’s next generation of visitors make there during the next 50 years and beyond.”

A private mountain home dismisses alpine clichés in favor of European architecture, collected artwork, and botanical motifs, pg 78

T WOULD BE HARD TO CONJURE A MORE IDYLLIC MOUNTAIN FANTASY — a contemporary home nestled into a lush hillside above Alpine, Utah; its wood, stone, metal, and glass shaping a secluded escape along a winding canyon road. For Ezra Lee, founder and principal of Ezra Lee Design + Build, creating it was a labor of love. This isn’t a home built around a floor plan. It’s built around his active family of five. When Lee first came upon the vacant lot in the prestigious Three Falls community, he saw potential where others only saw problems. The 2.5-acre lot sat below the main road, written off by most as unbuildable due to its steep slopes and cascading topography. “My first response was, I don’t want to be down in a hole,” Lee recalls. But when he trekked down through the Gambel oak to discover a broad clearing full of wildflowers and a dell to the west, Lee became spellbound by the privacy and breathtaking views. “It was completely unanticipated. And when I turned and saw Lone Peak above, I thought, wow, that’s insanely dynamic.” In that meadow, Lee began to imagine the home he would create. Taking his cues from the terrain and vistas, Lee rejected the typical approach of positioning the house high, with the backyard falling away behind it. “Instead, I pulled the home down into the property, allowing for a private front yard and pool that would capture the views,” he explains. The home settles into the hillside as three distinct volumes that stretch east to west. Lee oriented the home’s windows with near-surveyor precision, capturing the view across as much of the home’s frontage as possible and framing the full height of Lone Peak to the north. The result, Lee says, is a home that lets his family “mountain bathe” all day long, immersed in the landscape whether they’re inside or out. The dwelling’s three masses each serve a distinct purpose. To the east, the “adventure” mass pairs garages with a sports court, golf simulator, and a trampoline area below. A breezeway connects it to the central mass, which holds the kitchen, dining room, and great room — the heart of daily life. Below, the boys’ bedrooms join a relaxed living room and rec space designed for gathering and play. To the west, the third volume hosts the primary suite, offset for privacy. “We wanted it to be a place to retreat and recharge,” Lee says. A window-encased gym below and an upper deck housing a cold plunge, hot tub, and sauna deliver a luxurious spa experience. “It’s world-class,” Lee gushes. The Lees wanted interiors that feel both contemporary and comfortable, with a strong

OPPOSITE: Large, stacking glass doors slide to create an expansive opening that seamlessly joins the great room with the pool area.

Located at the far west end of the home, the primary suite takes in sweeping views of the surrounding mountainscape. Directly below, the gym is wrapped in windows on three sides, filling it with light and stunning views throughout the day.

connection to the mountains surrounding them. A material palette of “terrazzo-esque” concrete floors patterned with inset aggregate, richly plastered walls, and local stone and hemlock wood pulled from the exterior was key to creating the “organic mountain modern” style that Lee and his wife, Ashley, craved. While designing, Lee constantly asked himself “what if,” inspiring surprising elements at every turn: a floating kitchen in the open great room, a radius inset for the primary suite’s bed, and a water wall spilling beneath the entry bridge, among others. Lee says his favorite may be the separate design studio overlooking the yard at the back of the property. He explains, “It started as a simple shed, but became an insanely cool piece of architecture.” Lee concedes the home is more than his family needs. “This isn’t one of those things that’s a necessity,” he admits, “but I’m also a big believer that we go through life’s journey to experience all things, and some of that is dancing the line between needs and wants. Do I have everything I need? Absolutely, and then some. But this is also a life’s journey — it’s about scratching the itch of some of those wants.” Embracing that, he explains, is what fueled the home’s creation — not the wants themselves, but the reason behind them. “What really drove that was being a father and a provider for my boys, and giving them the best possible childhood that we can. Really, I would say we were creating a space that would allow us to live the best family life that we possibly can.”

Rounded, fluted corners soften its edges, letting it read as sculpture rather than cabinetry. One side presents traditionally, with a wall of core appliances backing an expansive island. The reverse performs like a hidden walk-in pantry, anchoring the kitchen, dining room, and great room without ever closing them off. BELOW: Beneath a modern chandelier, two custom tables furnish the open dining room, and can be cleverly combined to offer seating options for either intimate dining or entertaining a large group.

PHOTOS, CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT: Set on the front of the home, the pool anchors life at the main level, keeping entertaining, the kitchen, dining, and great room all on one connected plane. An infinity edge on the pool’s west end lets the water sheet down over the valley, framing sunsets over the mountainscape beyond. Located below the main garage and intentionally set apart from the main living area to prevent noise from carrying into the heart of the home, a full sports level includes a halfcourt basketball court, a golf simulator, and a trampoline. An elevated bridge connects the motor court to the front door, which opens into the breezeway connecting the garages to the main living areas. An adjacent open-air stairway allows one to move from the front yard and pool to the backyard. A shaded lounge area became its own retreat: a wall of water falls from the bridge above, its soothing sound echoing throughout the entry and backyard oasis. The design studio, one of three outbuildings — including the pool house and guest house — stands apart as a deliberately artistic element in the backyard. Reserved for creativity rather than the demands of Lee’s in-town Alpine office, the studio reinterprets the classic A-frame as a folded monolith, its crisp, origami-like creases forming a continuous architectural surface.

A SENSE OF

European architecture, layered interiors, and romantic gardens create a mountain home rooted in the landscape and its owners’ point of view

A WORD OF CAUTION: Anyone expecting this secluded mountain home to be a brawny lodge complete with broad-shouldered beams, monumental stone fi replaces, and every rustic cliché in the Alpine-style playbook is in for a surprise. The same goes for anyone anticipating a rugged landscape of rocky outcroppings blanketed in wild grasses and towering pines. Th is home tells a different story. The scene is unmistakably Utah, but the soul is decidedly European. “Our clients didn’t want a rustic mountain retreat,” explains Jennifer Chipman, principal of Bond Design Co. Instead, she and lead designer Laura Kramer translated the charm and layered character of the European country estates the homeowners had long admired into a Wasatch Back residence — one rich in timeless appeal, while fi lled with unexpected moments that make it unmistakably their own. That vision fi rst takes shape in the home’s exterior, where the architecture and landscape work in concert. Cedar shingles, tumbled limestone, and copper accents

OPPOSITE: The home’s Europeaninspired character begins at the front entry, where cedar shingles, tumbled limestone, and copper details are complemented by Emily Brooks Wayment’s landscape design of sculpted boxwoods, lilacs, and antique European fountains. ABOVE: Light fills the entry hall, where Visual Comfort chandeliers sparkle above intricately laid floors by Burchette & Burchette.

establish a distinctly European palette, while a landscape designed by Emily Brooks Wayment echoes that same aesthetic across the property. Educated in England, Wayment chose boxwood hedges, clumps of lilac trees, and bubbling lead fountains sourced from Europe to establish a sense of English garden formality at the home’s entry. Beyond, the gardens take a quiet exhale, relaxing as they meld into the natural landscape. “The design softens as it moves from the front of the home to the rest of the property,” Wayment explains. Inside, the home’s mountain-meets-European spirit takes on a more personal expression. Rather than following a prescribed decorating style, the designers layered traditional and modern influences — blending collected artwork, artisan craftsmanship, and unexpected moments of color and detail. “We like an eclectic mix; it’s more interesting and feels more curated,” Chipman says. That approach comes to life immediately in the light-filled entry hall, where a trio of dazzling crystal chandeliers, an intricately patterned marble and hardwood floor, and carefully chosen pieces

from the owners’ art collection combine to create an arrival that feels more like stepping into a private gallery than a mountain retreat. “Our clients definitely wanted this space to make a statement,” Kramer says. Art’s impact continues in the sitting room just beyond the entry, where the clients’ remarkable collection of original botanical engravings from “The Temple of Flora,” printed in 1799, found their long-awaited home. Tucked away under a bed for years while the owners waited for the right place to display them, the centuries-old prints were found after the room’s design was already complete. “As soon as we saw them, it felt like a moment of pure design serendipity,” Chipman says. The discovery didn’t redirect the design; instead, it reinforced a botanical thread already woven throughout the residence — a recurring connection between art, pattern, and nature that reveals itself in unexpected and varied ways. That garden-inspired sensibility carries into the secondary bedrooms, where richly patterned wallpapers envelop the spaces

OPPOSITE: Just off the entry, the sitting room introduces the home’s more intimate side, and a soothing blue-green color drench sets the stage for a richly layered mix of textiles, tailored furnishings, and charming details. ABOVE: A carefully layered mix of wood tones enriches the great room, where expansive windows flood the space in natural light. Rather than relying on matching finishes for cohesion, the designers repeated fabrics, colors, and patterns throughout the open spaces, creating a collected rather than a coordinated look. The tiered chandeliers are by Visual Comfort. TOP RIGHT: The kitchen’s custom Officine Gullo cabinetry, handcrafted in Italy, showcases a sophisticated mix of cream-toned metalwork and brass detailing. The designers added a stone-topped wood island to offset the streamlined cabinetry, while choosing pendants by Urban Electric Co. to add a warm glow.

in color and leafy wonder. It continues with intricate mosaics in the powder room, hand-painted de Gournay wallpaper panels in the primary bedroom, and, perhaps most surprising, the vibrant, custom vinyl wrap that transforms the colordrenched butler pantry’s once-white refrigerator into a statement piece. “It’s so unexpected; it captures the spirit of a home that never takes itself too seriously,” Chipman says. Anchoring the great room, the kitchen is equally rich in craftsmanship and detail. “It’s like the jewel at the end of the room,” Kramer says. There, the pantry’s playful touches and fearless colors give way to a more tailored expression of the home’s European-inspired aesthetic. A solid brass backsplash catches the eye, complemented by custom Officine Gullo cream-toned metal cabinetry exquisitely trimmed in brass. To visually soften the gleaming metalwork, the designers added a stone-topped wood island, introducing warmth and a traditional counterpoint to the modern Italian cabinetry. Grounded by herringbone white oak floors, the kitchen feels both timeless and effortlessly sophisticated. From the gracious public spaces designed for gathering to the serene, retreat-like private rooms, the home maintains the same thoughtful

OPPOSITE: In the serene primary suite, custom millwork transforms de Gournay’s hand-painted Earlham wallcovering into a series of framed works of art, reinforcing the gallery-like character found throughout the home.

balance. It celebrates the past without feeling bound by tradition, embraces artistry without sacrificing comfort, and honors its spectacular mountain setting without relying on familiar alpine clichés. Instead, it offers something increasingly rare: a home with an unmistakable point of view, one shaped not by trends of geography but by the passions and collections of the people who live there.

Nestled in complete privacy with sweeping mountain views, the home draws inspiration from historic European architecture and was designed to feel as though it has always belonged to the landscape.

O BUY A NE W-BUILD OR TO REMODEL AN OLDER HOME? That was the question one Utah couple grappled with when searching for a change of address. The couple was debating between two very different homes: a freshly constructed dwelling in Park City or an abode in desperate need of a makeover in Draper. They called upon Danielle Dyche, of Seventh & Stone in Salt Lake City, to help them make the final decision. Together, they decided upon the path of renovation, and the couple purchased an ornate, Tuscan-style home in Draper. “The home was ’90s-era Tuscan to the max, but it was beautifully constructed and had good bones,” Dyche says. With the keys in hand, the couple jumped right in and began making plans. “We didn’t want (the home) to become a big, boring beige box,” Dyche explains. “We wanted to add

They renovated the home’s interior, but left the well-preserved exterior as is. “The exterior feels very Old World, but the interior is very fresh and new,” Dyche says. RIGHT: The homeowners had a unique request: they wanted a kitchen/lounge space rather than a kitchen/ dining space. Where a kitchen table would traditionally stand, Dyche instead arranged four cozy, oversized chairs, a coffee table, a rug, and a TV. “This is where the family hangs out,” she explains. The kitchen counters are Taj Mahal honed quartzite, and the cabinets are painted in Pashmina by Benjamin Moore. The custom linear pendant light is by Hammerton.

some charm, and make it feel more balanced and current.” They kept the exterior as is (“It was done in better taste than the interior,” Dyche notes), but got to work updating the indoors, where some of the spaces in the 10,500-square-foot home needed to be reconfigured. The couple decided to give up a bedroom and closet to expand the primary suite and added a large walk-in closet with mirrored custom cabinetry and laundry facilities, plus an adjoining private lounge where they can relax together. In the kitchen, two spaces were combined to create a walkthrough butler’s pantry. The couple wanted to keep what existing details they could to honor the original home, including the entry staircase — which got new balusters, a fresh coat of paint, and a new stain for the handrail and stair treads. They also kept some antiques that were included in the sale of the home, including the dining room cabinets, and they salvaged a massive, 22-foot onyx fireplace, one of several featured throughout the original dwelling. The fireplace’s green and brown stone set the tone, literally, for the renovation’s color palette: mostly soft

UPPER LEFT: “We needed an extra long pendant to ground this oversized island,” says Dyche. “The client wanted something really special and a little playful, so we ended up creating our own design with Hammerton. We alternated color and shape variations to create this 110” custom linear pendant.” LOWER LEFT: Opposite the dining room is a formal sitting room. Dyche installed a new cast-stone fireplace mantel by Omega. The mantel is finished with a limewash and features an extra-large hearth that wraps around in a “U” shape. The lion statue is one of the couple’s treasured antiques. “They don’t have a pet, so this is their version,” Dyche notes. The room’s walls are painted in Edgecomb Gray by Benjamin Moore; the chain metal sconces are by Arteriors. OPPOSITE: In the dining room, Dyche went all-in with color-drenching, selecting a muted green paint (Oilcloth by Benjamin Moore), curtains in a matching shade, chairs in a light sage hue, and a rug in the same verdant tones. The striking Venetian glass-inspired light fixture is by Noir.

neutrals like beige and white, plus a few muted jewel tones for a hint of drama. “Selecting the color palette was one of the first things we did,” Dyche recalls. Dyche drenched every inch of the dining room — walls, ceiling, and trim — in a green hue named Oilcloth by Benjamin Moore. “If we’re painting with a color, we’re leaning in all the way,” she says, adding, “If you’re worried about a room being too dark with all the same paint color, then it’s not the right color.” In the expanded primary closet and adjoining lounge, as well as in the basement bar, Dyche used a blackbrown paint named Black Fox, by Sherwin-Williams. “It’s the most beautiful black hue,” the designer says. With the spaces sorted and the walls painted, it was time to add some pizzazz. “The lighting was really important — that’s what the wife cared about,” Dyche says. “She likes really modern and dramatic lighting.” In the kitchen, hanging above an oval-shaped, 13-foot island, a custom linear pendant light by Utah-based Hammerton is accented with handblown glass elements in bronze,

UPPER LEFT: A limestone floor in a herringbone pattern defines the homeowners’ primary bathroom. “Honed limestone is probably our favorite tile for bathroom floors,” says Dyche. “It’s warm without being too rustic — and elevated without being too polished. It also sits comfortably in the background to let the countertops be the hero in the room.” LOWER LEFT: Behind the wall of the soaking tub, accessed via a couple of steps, is a large, walk-in shower tiled in Zia Tile’s Casablanca Zellige limestone. “The imperfect nature of these handmade tiles is what makes them timeless,” says the designer. UPPER RIGHT: The primary bath also includes two 10-foot vanities (one for him, one for her) outfitted with Taj Mahal polished quartzite and custom, darkstained wood cabinetry. LOWER RIGHT: In the billiards room, adjacent to the bar, the walls are decorated with a “Drunk Monkeys” wallcovering by Astek. “It’s lighthearted and fun,” Dyche says, adding, “It shows the couple’s personality.” The ceiling is painted in Edgecomb Gray by Benjamin Moore, while the wood doors are antique and the light fixture is by Currey and Co.

amber, and smoke hues. “It’s so impactful and stunning,” Dyche says. “It’s like a sculptural element floating in the air.” She notes that the wife wanted all the lighting to feel like jewelry for the home, and points out that this fixture is reminiscent of a beaded necklace. Jewelry-inspired lighting also appears in the primary closet, where Dyche installed an Arteriors “Melt Chandelier” with glass pendants that drape like necklaces. The adjoining lounge is crowned with a 52-inch round Arteriors fixture, while the homeowners selected a large, modern mesh light to go over the tub in the primary bathroom. In the dining room,

Dyche installed a massive, Venetian glass-inspired chandelier by Noir that holds court above the dining room table. “The scale of it is amazing,” Dyche says. “It’s big and beautiful.” Dyche also installed wall sconces to create a more cozy, intimate vibe. “You want a dining room to be lit from the walls; it creates a better experience when you’re in it,” she explains. “Sconces on the wall make the room feel like a hug.” It’s safe to say the couple and Dyche succeeded in thinking outside the boring, beige box. “This house has so much personality and character,” Dyche says. “It’s not boring at all.”

F A L L 2 0 2 6 | U TA H S T Y L E A N D D E S I G N . C O M

CLOCKWISE, FROM TOP LEFT: In the basement, Dyche created a speakeasy-inspired bar next to an existing full kitchen and living room with a TV. “The couple loves to entertain, and the husband loves a whiskey bar — so he wanted this space to feel that way,” Dyche explains. The bar countertop is Black Diamond quartzite with a waterfall edge and a brass rail. Large 18-inch pendant lights hang overhead. The back of the bar features smoked glass and reinforced shelving to display bottles. The cabinets are painted in Black Fox by Sherwin-Williams. It was the wife’s dream to have a mirrored walk-in closet — her very own Hall of Mirrors. Artisan Woodworks made her dream come true with custom mirrored cabinetry on all four walls. “They knocked it out of the park,” Dyche says. In the center of the closet sits an island topped with Taj Mahal polished quartzite that acts as a dresser, outfitted with drawers and hidden pullout hampers. The “Melt Chandelier” from Arteriors is made of solid glass with LEDs that diffuse the light and create an ambient glow. The private lounge adjacent to the walk-in closet serves as a spot where the husband can hang out while his wife gets ready. It’s also a space where he can store his watch collection. “It’s their sanctuary,” Dyche says. The sultry lounge features dark furnishings, carpet, a drink fridge, and a flat-screen TV. The room is color-drenched with Black Fox paint by Sherwin-Williams. The light fixture is by Arteriors.

OLD WORLD CHARM IS AT THE HE ART OF THIS STUNNING ESTATE IN ST. GEORGE, where marble floors, intricate millwork, glistening chandeliers, grand arches, and rich palettes weave a story of family and tradition, all meticulously and brilliantly articulated by designers Brittnie Traveller of Brittnie Traveller Design and Lori Worthington of Lori Worthington Design. “From the architectural elements to the furnishings and fi nishes, every selection was made with the intention of capturing the character, warmth, and authenticity often found in European country homes, while still feeling livable and welcoming for modern family life,” Traveller says. With adult children and young grandchildren who visit often, the homeowners entrusted Traveller and Worthington to create a home that was at once livable and cozy, as well as luxurious. Built in 2025 by Traveller’s husband, Kason Traveller of K.H. Traveller Custom Homes, and designed by architect Scott Hughes, of Paradise Home Design, the 9,000-plus-square-foot residence, which was featured this past February in the 2026 St. George Parade of Homes, mesmerizes and impresses from the moment one crosses the threshold.

OPPOSITE: Historic, European-inspired feel characterizes the entry, where family and guests are greeted by a sense of sophistication and warmth the moment they step through the custom iron door by Urban Iron Doors. Three brass Visual Comfort chandeliers are staggered above, leaving visitors with a memorable first impression. ABOVE: In the flex/game room, Visual Comfort lighting adds a layered glow above, while rich textures and Norwalk furnishings “bring comfort and livability without sacrificing style,” designer Brittnie Traveller says. Custom cabinetry offers a refined accent while also functioning as the perfect snack bar for the homeowners’ grandchildren.

Opting for not one but three chandeliers in the foyer, Traveller and Worthington strategically stacked gilded Visual Comfort lighting to create a dramatic focal point that sparkles above the oversized 24-inch x 24-inch blackand-white marble flooring. For added depth and texture, the team added extensive wall paneling and a custom iron front door that beckons with its grandeur. “Together, these elements create an entry that feels warm, inviting, and elegant while showcasing the timeless craftsmanship found throughout the home,” Traveller shares. The same checkered flooring from the foyer appears in the butler’s pantry, but in a smaller 12-inch x 12inch scale. The designers’ decision to color-drench the room in Farrow & Ball’s Salon Drab, a moody yet sophisticated green hue, gives it a striking contrast to the adjacent, allwhite kitchen. “Because the butler’s pantry is fully visible from the main kitchen, we knew it needed to feel every bit as special as the space it adjoins,” Traveller says. “The homeowner was actually nervous about the color, but when she saw it, she loved it.” Designed to offer the clients enough space to host their family and friends, the kitchen functions for everyday living without sacrificing the elevated style that defines the home. Custom accents like the fluted marble hood from Stone Mountain in SLC make the space truly unforgettable.

UPPER LEFT: Crystal Blanc quartzite countertops add soft movement to the custom white cabinetry in the kitchen. Visual Comfort chandeliers glisten above the oversized island. LOWER LEFT: “We carried the Crystal Blanc quartzite countertops into the pantry to create a seamless transition, while additional Visual Comfort chandeliers above the island add warmth and elegance,” Traveller says. OPPOSITE: Custom wood paneling by Riverwoods Mill envelopes this intimate nook, while a plaid wallpaper adds sophisticated style on the ceiling. The oversized table and velvet upholstered seating make this space ideal for game nights.

Statement lighting from Visual Comfort adds a touch of glamour over the Juliet Mineralcast Double-Ended Tub and throughout the expansive space, Traveller notes, while Schumacher’s Dahliadröm wallpaper — a floral print designed in collaboration with Boråstapeter — on the ceiling delivers a layer of warmth. A classic palette and timeless marble flooring add to the retreat’s romantic and luxurious ambience.

UPPER LEFT: Elevating the everyday was a constant theme throughout this grand estate — perfectly represented in the main hallway, where Phillip Jefferies’ Vista mural wraps the walls in bold elegance. LOWER LEFT: The primary bedroom features a Schumacher wallpaper and trim painted in Dried Thyme by Sherwin-Williams. Bridgerton-inspired decor adds warmth and a fresh twist on the room’s traditional styling. “Beneath the bed, a one-of-a-kind rug anchors the space, while a coordinating rug in the sitting area helps define the secondary living zone,” Traveller adds.

Awash in Clove, by Sherwin-Williams, the game room offers a flexible and adaptable space for the homeowners. “Our goal was to create a room that feels warm, cozy, and inviting for everyday use, yet elevated enough to make a statement,” Traveller says. A custom nook with velvet seating and an oversized table is just the place for playing board games and engaging in conversation. Wood paneling and a Phillip Jefferies plaid wallcovering on the ceiling lend a feeling of intent and quiet grandeur to the intimate space. Among Traveller’s favorite rooms in the project is the clients’ primary suite. “The chandelier above the bathtub is my favorite in the entire project,” she says. At an expansive 2,000 square feet, “the primary suite was designed on a scale that allowed it to feel like much more than just a bedroom,” she notes. “A spacious sitting area creates an intimate retreat within the suite itself, offering a place to relax and unwind while remaining connected to the main sleeping

space.” A lilac-inspired Schumacher wallcovering envelopes the bedroom and complements the romantic palette, while a one-of-akind rug from Feizy anchors the elegant retreat. The stone on the fireplace was used in the en suite and is a seamless extension of the home’s sense of refinement. For the primary bath, the designers drew on the styles of historic estates, using custom cabinetry painted in Sherwin-Williams’ Dried Thyme, brushed brass accents, and marble flooring, “to create a space that feels both sophisticated and serene,” Traveller adds . Giving the everyday a timeless grandeur without sacrificing function and livability is what defines the home’s genius design — a theme perfectly represented in areas like the main hallway, which features a dramatic Phillip Jefferies wallcovering, and in the craft room, which supports the wife’s love for making quilts, sewing, and creating with her grandchildren.

“Equal parts functional and beautiful, the [craft] room was designed to make everyday creativity feel a little more extraordinary,” Traveller says. Bathed in Sherwin-Williams’ Hot Cocoa, a hue the homeowner was initially hesitant to use but now loves, the room includes extensive cabinetry meant to conceal sewing machines, art supplies, and more. “The Patagonia Cave quartzite that’s on the island was one of the very fi rst things we picked out. We were shopping for slabs and we saw that, and we knew we would use it somewhere,” Traveller explains. When asked how she feels about the home now that it’s complete, Traveller gushes: “It’s one of my favorite projects that I’ve been a part of. Lori and I designed the home as if we were going to move in there. There isn’t anything I would change about the home.”

CLOCKWISE, FROM TOP LEFT: A romantic York wallcovering wraps the primary closet, where custom millwork by Riverwoods Mill, marble flooring, and a crystal chandelier create a layered and refined atmosphere. With 12-foot walls bathed in Sherwin-Williams’ Hot Cocoa, three Visual Comfort chandeliers, a stunning island topped with a gorgeous Patagonia Cave quartzite sourced from Carpets Plus in St. George, and custom cabinetry that features hidden appliance garages for sewing machines and more, this craft room is unlike anything else the designers have done. The walls, custom cabinetry (by Riverwoods Mill), and architectural details of the office were painted in Benjamin Moore’s Antique Pewter, while a striking black leathered quartzite counter adds a masculine edge. “One of the room’s most unique features is the custom ceiling detail, inspired by the checkered flooring below. By combining marble and wood flooring in a carefully crafted pattern, we created a design moment that carries the eye from floor to ceiling and adds incredible character to the space,” Traveller says.

We chose Sherwin-Williams Hot Cocoa for the craft room because it creates a warm, inviting backdrop that feels both sophisticated and functional. The rich brown tone brings depth to the space while providing the perfect setting for creativity and everyday use.

FINAL WORD

STROKES OF GENIUS BY GIUSEPPA NADROWSKI

PHOTO BY COLTON MARSAL A

The First Electronic Bank in Sugar House recently underwent an overhaul thanks to interior designer Eden Stringham, of Eden & Co., and architect Kinley Puzey, of Onyx Design Collective. Merging technology with timeless design, Stringham’s design vision was sparked by boutique hotels, “with interesting features and elements you discover as you walk through the space,” she explains. One of those elements was a hidden spiral staircase. Long neglected and blocked by a storage room, “I knew we had to make it something special instead of hiding it,” Stringham says. To unearth this gem, the team, which also included Rand Construction, opened up walls and painted the existing stairs and I-beams in Waterloo by Sherwin-Williams. An iconic Nelson pendant was also added; Stringham notes that its circular forms “beautifully echo the spiral geometry of the staircase.” To complete the redesign, Stringham commissioned artists Lindsay Northrop and Lindsey Wing to create a mountainside mural inspired by the Wasatch Front. “The goal was to make the staircase feel like a journey,” Stringham explains. “Every design decision was meant to make the climb feel immersive and transform the staircase into an experience rather than just a way to move between floors.” For owner representative Jacy Simpson, the staircase previously was something people overlooked. “Now it draws people in, brings light and energy to the space, and has become one of the most memorable features of the office,” she says. “People are genuinely excited about it, which is exactly what we hoped for.” edencointeriordesign.com, onyxdesigncollective.com
