Design—a full-service interior design firm— can help. “Whether we’re crafting your forever home or your perfect getaway, we’ll capture your essence and infuse it into your surroundings,” says owner and principal designer Allison Campbell.
This meticulous, detail-oriented firm has more than two decades of expertise in construction design. “Our approach blends knowledge, experience, talent and a touch of humor to make your building journey as enjoyable as possible,” Campbell explains. Designing and sourcing high-quality furniture is her forte. She personally curates every element of your home, considers its purpose and seamlessly blends stunning and unique designs with practical
functionality. “Let us transform your vision into a living reality,” Campbell says. With experience in new construction as well as remodels, this firm offers incredible attention to detail. And that experience can save you money in the long run. Often, homeowners get estimates without background information, so they may make a decision based on cost. “Make sure to compare the bids and confirm that they really are pricing out everything exactly. Then, make your decision based on quality, rather than solely on cost,” she says. “You definitely get what you pay for.”

BARTILE
725 N. 1000 WEST, CENTERVILLE | 801-295-3443
BLISTERING SUN AND FEET OF DEEP SNOW blowing in winds:
Utah’s freeze-thaw climate means your roof takes a beating. Incombustible, Bartile roof tiles far surpass a class-A fire rating and have a 75-year warranty. Some styles even have a class-4 hail rating.
But what does incombustible really mean? Bartile tested it themselves. They ran over roof tiles with trucks, threw ice balls at them and even lit them on fire with a blow torch. Nada. You couldn’t even tell they had been touched. See it for yourselves in their “Will it Break” series on YouTube (see QR Code above).
That’s real durability. The lifespan of a Bartile roof is four times longer than the best asphalt shingle on the market. Bartile has been perfecting the art of premium
roof tiles in northern Utah for 82 years. “My grandfather started this business in 1942,” says Nick Evans, general manager. “Some of the roofs we built that first year are still in place.”
Even better, Bartile will personalize your roof. “At Bartile, we custom craft each order according to designers’ or homeowners’ specific requests,” he says “We have more than 700 custom colors and 20 different styles and options, so we can literally create anything. The options are endless. If you can imagine it, Bartile can create it: something beautiful, unique and durable— and more affordable.”
NICK EVANS
GENERAL MANAGER
“You should have your roof looked at every 2–5 years depending on the type of your roof. Bartile can help you prepare your roof for winter with a full-service roof inspection. We can clean the roof and gutters, as well as install heating cables to prevent ice dams or snow retention safety features to keep snow from falling on people and injuring them.”

WHAT ARE YOUR CLIENTS ASKING FOR RIGHT NOW?
The darkest black tile. It’s our top seller. We start with black tile and then add jet black acrylic enamel on top for a dramatic effect. The paint will last 20 years and the black colorthrough concrete tile underneath will last another 60–70 years.
THREE WORDS THAT BEST DESCRIBE YOUR PRODUCT: Durable. Custom. Beautiful.
COMMON MISTAKES HOMEOWNERS MAKE:
Most homeowners think tile is too heavy to be on a roof. In fact, our UltraLite tile is so lightweight it can go on almost any roof along the Wasatch Front
make the biggest difference in how people read a space,” says acclaimed designer Kristin Rocke, owner of K. Rocke Design. She adds unexpected elements to create artistic spaces that help people live their best lives. “We’re known for our creativity, efficiency and personalization,” she says. “I love helping people infuse their identities into their spaces.”
This Utah-based interior design firm has completed influential interiors across the globe. With an extensive and award-winning list of projects, Rocke has been listed as one of the “Top 10 Interior Designers” by Traditional Home. Her work has been featured in many distinguished publications including Luxe Interiors + Design, Florida Design, Traditional Home, Boca Design, California Home + Design and more. “I’ve been doing this craft for a long time,” she says. “I’m really excited about how we’re building on the broad foundation we’ve established over the years. We’re growing and taking on new challenges in architecture, hard finishes,
space planning, locations and material requirements.”
From resorts and restaurants to retail shops and residences, the firm has completed projects coast to coast. “A dream team is made up of different players: the homeowners, the architect, the builder and the interior designer,” says Rocke. “Each has different perspectives and objectives, and all contribute valuable insight.”
Rocke recommends following some key steps to creating your dream home. “Site your house on the lot to maximize views and create as much privacy as possible. Make sure your spaces are the right dimensions for your furniture and minimize hallways for an efficient floor plan,” she suggests. “Design a layout in alignment with your lifestyle. Finally, curate your design-build team with care and consideration for quality output and reputable people with whom you have a pleasant rapport.”
KRISTIN ROCKE
PRINCIPAL AND OWNER
“Develop clear expectations for budget, timing and outcomes. Make sure you set aside adequate funding for furniture and final details. Accessorizing and finishing a home is what defines the space the most and has a huge eff ect on how people feel about it.”
