MIXING USES IN THE UTAH MOUNTAINS

mature landscaping and Americana sculptures, creating a gathering place for the greater community.

The village center includes a plaza with a state-of-the-art fountain near an airy, glass-walled covered pavilion highlighting the local food scene with indoor and outdoor dining. The open space will serve as an intimate gathering spot with diverse entertainment, lounge, and action zones for all ages. The public lawn features space for games and a children’s play area, which includes a slide and apparatus mimicking a biplane.

AO also incorporated a built-in stadium-stair area with a communal firepit fixture for visitors to relax and enjoy in the gathering space, which surrounds a dramatic, three-story architectural micro-LED glass display. The 38-foot-wide, 42-foot-tall G-Glass display (the largest of its kind in the United States) projects images and videos from a micro-LED embedded glass building material, adding a unique attraction.

Mountain View Village buildings emulate the experience of a well-preserved, classic American town center with modern touches. Building facades are reminiscent of a city hall, firehouse and library, and surround the central lawn with its LED light show fountain.

The landscape will include thousands of plants and 1,700 new trees throughout the property. Patriotic sculptures designed by artist Brian Keith will add to the ambiance. These large bronze pieces include a revolutionary Minuteman; Betsy Ross sewing the American flag; a young boy with his grandfather, hands over hearts and a sculpture titled “Majestic,” which features a 10-foot-tall eagle.
