— OVERVIEW
BOLD, POLISHED, AND UNAPOLOGETICALLY GLAMOROUS IN THE BOISE FOOTHILLS.
This 4,750-square-foot Boise residence makes no apologies for its ambitions. Double-height living spaces flood with light through black steel-framed clerestory windows, while high-gloss tile floors and a dramatic marble kitchen island set an unmistakably bold tone. The open plan flows from a grand piano in the living area to a kitchen designed for entertaining at scale — generous, polished, and deliberately striking. Against the backdrop of the Boise foothills, it's a home that wears its personality on its sleeve and carries it off.

Private Residence 52
On a wooded Walker Lane lot in Salt Lake City, this custom residence takes its cues from what was already there. Mature trees set the terms — the house works around them, beneath them, and through them, with a low horizontal profile that settles into the landscape rather than imposing on it. Stone piers anchor the structure to the ground while black steel and full-height glass dissolve the boundary between inside and out. A boardwalk threads through the trees to the entry. A pool terrace opens to the canopy above. The result is a home that feels less built than found.
Private Residence 01
This Salt Lake City foothills residence was designed around a single organizing idea: an urban campground. The home is arranged as three distinct pods connected by a long curved art gallery — a configuration that grew directly from how this family lives, with a deep tradition of large gatherings, extended stays, and spending as much time outdoors as possible. Finishes and fixtures are bold and durable, channeling the honest materiality of quality outdoor gear rather than conventional residential luxury. Entire walls of glazing open to wooded slopes and mountain peaks beyond. The program accommodates everyone: a two-bedroom guest wing on the south end of the gallery with its own entrance, a one-bedroom apartment over the four-car garage on the north end with a deck overlooking the pool terrace, two additional guest suites, and a theater below. It's a home built for the way a family actually wants to live together.
Private Residence 02
This barn and guest house on a private Utah ranch earns its place in the landscape through honest materiality and careful craft. Massive rough-sawn timber trusses form a striking roof structure that is as functional as it is beautiful, while large-scale board and batten siding over a robust stone base anchors the building to its mountain setting. Below, the barn accommodates the full range of ranch life — all-terrain vehicles, boats, snowmobiles, tractors, and a dedicated workshop. Above, a great room and sleeping quarters for up to six guests transform the same structure into a place of genuine comfort. It's a building that works as hard as the land it sits on.
Private Residence 03
This private Utah residence was designed from the ground up to live with art. Expansive rooms organized around a central courtyard give a significant modern collection the space and light it demands, while an 80-foot travertine water wall and pool terrace extend the experience of the home into the landscape. Structural stone piers carry generous horizontal overhangs across the decks and terraces, providing shade without interrupting the flow between inside and out. Floor-to-ceiling glass frames Mount Olympus and the pastoral meadows below with the same deliberateness as the art on the walls. The result is a home where the architecture and the collection it houses are in constant conversation.
Private Residence 05
This Salt Lake City foothills residence was designed to hold two modes simultaneously: black tie elegance and everyday family life. Floor-to-ceiling glazing captures immaculate views in every direction, while bold cantilevered rooflines make a strong contemporary statement softened by limestone cladding and refined aluminum panel finishes. The architecture is as precise on the outside as it is generous on the inside — a swimming pool, elevator, basketball court, and home theater among the amenities woven into a home that never feels like it's showing off, even when it is. At sunset, the valley below does the rest.

Double-height living spaces flood with light through black steel-framed clerestory windows, while high-gloss tile floors and a dramatic marble kitchen island set an unmistakably bold tone.

Against the backdrop of the Boise foothills, it's a home that wears its personality on its sleeve and carries it off.
Private Residence 07
On a restricted hillside lot in Cottonwood Heights, this guest house proves that constraints can be the best design brief. The sweeping roofline makes a confident contemporary gesture against the Wasatch skyline, while tall interior spaces create a sense of volume that belies the modest footprint. Clean lines, warm materials, and a seamless open plan deliver a living experience that asks a simple question — how much space do you actually need? — and answers it beautifully.
Private Residence 06
This St. George residence is organized around a traditional hacienda floor plan — central courtyard at the heart, family gathering spaces on one side, a guest wing on the other. A massive window wall opens the living areas to views across the Entrada Golf Course and Snow Canyon beyond, making the red rock landscape as much a part of the interior experience as any finish or fixture. Spanish limestone floors extend seamlessly from inside to out, dissolving the boundary between the two. Interior and exterior materials echo the brilliant warmth of the surrounding desert, grounding the home in a place that would be impossible to replicate anywhere else.
Private Residence 08
When the owners decided to replace their 1950s Salt Lake City rambler, they knew exactly what they wanted: a modern farmhouse with the generous, light-filled rooms the original never had. The result is a home that wears its influences honestly — board and batten siding, a standing seam metal roof, and a stone base that grounds the whole composition — while delivering a contemporary level of space and comfort throughout. Five bedrooms, four bathrooms, and a large primary suite with a private walled garden patio sit alongside a three-stall garage with loft above. Wide verandas at the rear frame views of the pool terrace and gardens, making the outdoors as considered as the rooms that look out onto it.
Private Residence 10
This Salt Lake City residence began as a traditional home with good bones and became something considerably more. A comprehensive remodel preserved the warmth and character of the original while bringing every space up to a level of craft and detail that the house always deserved. Vaulted ceilings with exposed timber trusses anchor a living room that feels both grand and genuinely livable. The kitchen — coffered wood ceiling, marble island, integrated appliances, and a window-wrapped breakfast nook — is the kind of space that becomes the center of family life without trying. Outside, a brick pool terrace sits within a canopy of mature trees that no new construction could replicate. It's a remodel that understood what to keep and knew exactly what to add.
