Twenty-Four years of Furnishing your Home and Garden.
CHRISTIE MARCY is the associate editor at Salt Lake magazine and a contributing editor and writer for Utah Bride & Groom and Utah Style & Design. In this issue, Christie talks with landscape designer Jayson King about his remarkable redo of a Park City landscape (“Making Change,” page 68) and how outdoor spaces have become an important part of the overall design of a home. Christie lives in a Salt Lake and has a small yard that she uses primarily as a spot to sip wine.

EDITOR’S NOTE
WHYS GUY
“W
HAT ARE YOU, an interrogator?” an-
other guest sarcastically asked me during a cocktail party. It’s not the first time I’ve provoked the question in a social setting. As an editor and writer, I reflexively dig for explanations—the whys behind the whats. It’s what I do. And while my perpetual questioning sometimes isn’t well received over martinis, it’s almost always rewarding in my work. While creating this issue, I and other writers asked many designers, architects and builders about the daring moves and surprising gestures they infused into their featured projects. They’d tell us what, and we’d ask them why. Of course, not every detail requires an explanation, but for most thoughtfully conceived treatments, it’s the reasons behind the creations that provide the most interesting and inspiring information. Take, for example, the Leroy family’s large
kitchen island uniquely split in two (“Timeless Tale,” page 92). “A single island would have been too big and now the room flows and functions much better than it would have,” designer Elizabeth Wixom explained. In “See-Through Style” (page 56), designer Jenny Samuelson strategically chose a transparent Ghost Chair for a mountain project, not just for looks, but also “to avoid the weight, bulk or distraction that another material would provide.” Landscape designer Jayson King created low intersecting stone walls rather than a continuous one to border his client’s Park City property (“Making Change,” page 68). Why? “Staggered walls don’t obstruct views,” he said. In the Leukenga family’s Farmington home, the design team placed a bold mural in the kitchen not only for the visual punch but, as Jessica Bennett shared, to also disguise a large television mounted on the wall (“Modern Ges-
tures,” page 112). No question, the lure of this issue’s design is irresistible. As you turn the pages, you’ll see—and learn—why.

TOAST MAKERS Why stop with Sunday brunch? French toast is a versatile favorite to be served and savored 24/7.
F
rench toast, or as the French poetically put it, “pain perdu,” is one of the best uses for leftovers ever invented: easy, economical, nutritious, delicious—what more do you want from a recipe? Here’s what: versatility. So why is French toast relegated to the culinary afterthought that is breakfast? It can be the basis for simple, sustaining and, yes, delicious supper and lunch dishes as well. Instead of powdered sugar and syrup, top it with fresh fruit, sauteed vegetables, mushrooms, turkey or chicken hash. Fact is, French toast can swing both ways: savory or sweet.

Five Toast-Making Tips Forget the flaccid eggy slices so often served. The goal: golden crispy outside and custardy inside.
1 2
Use good bakery bread. You want an even grain without gaping holes, but don’t use soft packaged bread. Let the bread slices get slightly stale. A night outside the bag will dry the bread so it will soak up the batter better.
3
Soak the bread sufficiently. A quick dip will not do. Be sure the bread absorbs as much beaten egg as possible. This may mean you have to
use a spatula to move it from the soak to the skillet.
4
Heat vegetable oil to a proper frying temperature—375 degrees—before putting in the bread. The soaked bread should hiss and swell up when it hits the oil. You’re frying, not sautéing.
5
Turn it carefully to brown the other side, and drain it briefly on paper towels as you would any fried food.

PROFILE
FEAST FOR THE EYES Photographer Adam Finkle’s art captures local food creators and their passion for food. You may have savored many of Salt Lake's most acclaimed foods, but you may not know the people behind them. Photographer Adam Finkle is here to remedy that. In his Faces of Food series, Finkle creates compelling diptychs, art pieces that capture local culinary pros and the passion they express through food. Finkle has been shooting food and its makers for 20 years, and he enjoys the unique challenges of each. “I like the technical side of shooting food and the creative challenge of making it look different,” he says. Photographing people, on the other hand, is about personality. “I really like our food com-

His series currently includes 18 pieces and is growing. See it in person at Les Madeleines in Salt Lake City or online at ajfphoto.com
#instafood tip While Finkle’s stunning food shots result from years of experience and state-of-the-art equipment, he offers phone-camera foodies a quick tip. “If you want to photograph food well, choose indirect natural light that’s consistent.”

elvet may conjure images of Victorian settees and Elvis portraits, but forget all that. As textile pro Marvin Wilkinson explains, velvet is enjoying a renaissance and technology is allowing big creativity in producing updated versions of this old classic. “Color saturation, weave quality, weight and distinctive hand make velvets new again,” says Wilkinson, principal of John Brooks Inc. What’s more, the use of synthetic fibers such as Viscose creates a cost-effective option, making velvet more workable and attainable. And that dowdy granny vibe? Dead and gone. “Velvets are perfect for the casual, modern style so many of us want today,” he explains.

ARCHITECTURE
TAKING CENTER STAGE The George S. and Dolores Doré Eccles Theater opens this fall in downtown Salt Lake City. OPENING THIS season, the George S. and Dolores Doré Eccles Theater is the culmination of a massive urban planning and construction effort. What does it take to design a building that changes the physical and cultural dynamics of Utah’s capital?
The Challenge
“Our team was given the responsibility of designing a piece of the city,” says Mitchell Hirsch, design principal in charge for Pelli Clarke Pelli, one of two renowned architecture firms that collaborated on the project. “Functionally, the building has to work like a Swiss watch, but it also has to meet the aspirational needs of a cultural center.” Drawing on experiences designing public buildings around the globe, Pelli Clarke Pelli worked with HKS Architects to create a place where the community comes together.
Gina Narracci and Mitchell Hirsch, Pelli Clarke Pelli
The Right Fit
Local architect Emir Tursic, associate principal at HKS, explained that the design needed to be fresh and relevant while “integrating with a historic part of Main Street and respecting historic architecture.” The result is a contemporary expression that harmonizes with surrounding structures.
The Inspiration
The building’s façades evoke “the soul of Utah, which is the landscape, and in particular the canyons,” says Hirsch. White limestone, brick made from indigenous materials, and exceptionally clear, patterned glass recollect striations and colorations in Utah’s canyons.
The Neighbors Emir Tursic, HKS Architects
There is no “back” to the building. 360-degree activity is encouraged through a mid-block walkway between Main and Regent Streets, a galleria connecting the theater with the new 111 Main office tower next door, and a dedicated plaza on Regent Street. 111 Main partially cantilevers over the Eccles Theater, allowing both to fit on one city block, while glass walls under the theater marquee retract to open on Main Street, extending the lobby outside.
The Interior
A Full Cast
Led by GTS Development and Layton Construction, the Eccles Theater was built through the cooperation of several private and public sector entities. “There are so many great pieces of this building,” says Tursic. “Every so often, you work with projects that surprise you and turn out even better than you envisioned.” artssaltlake.org/venue/eccles-theater

The Delta Performance Hall seats 2,500, yet the curving, three-tier layout feels intimate, with unobstructed sight-lines throughout and a ceiling that looks like a glittering star field. Two artworks were commissioned for the building’s interior: colored-glass balcony railings by Paul Housberg, and a terrazzo floor by local artist Laura Sharp Wilson.

ENTERTAINING
PRO TIPS “FOOD TASTES better when presented creatively,” says Maxine Turner, owner of Cuisine Unlimited in SLC. Turner has catered countless stylish soirees and knows serving pieces make all the difference. She loves boards and offers pointers for choosing and using them. Create your own rustic, bark-edged wood board by cutting a cross section of a tree trunk. Sand the surface. Rub with water and coffee grounds to enhance the color and seal with food-safe mineral oil. Freeze a marble board before using it to serve chilled foods: seafood to cold hors d’oeuvres, and even sorbet shots.
CLOCKWISE FROM TOP: Enjoy board, $50, Bloomingsales, SLC; Slate with rope handles, $40, WilliamsSonoma, SLC; Round with pear ornament, $49, New Orientation, SLC; Monogrammed marble-and-wood board with knife, $43, Bloomingsales, SLC; Marble board with mouse knife, $86, Ward & Child—The Garden Store, SLC; Round marble board, $42, Dunker Beal Interior Design, SLC.
Use a wire slicer rather than a knife to cut cheeses or similar items on wood. It won’t mar the surface. Non-serrated spreaders are perfect for soft cheeses. Slate is very porous and can absorb bacteria easily. Treat it with food-safe mineral oil each time you use it. Heat a marble board for serving warm appetizers. It’s ideal for foods like kabobs as it warms the meat without drying it out. Position the board above multiple candles (never Sterno) to help maintain heat. Place one-sided gummed tabs on the bottoms of boards to prevent them from scratching your table surface.
ON BOARD
Consider heated or chilled Himalayan salt blocks as serving pieces. They’re antibacterial and can be cleaned with a damp sponge or light scrubbing (never immerse in water). Pat dry.
Forget plates and platters—serve the season in style with the natural beauty and warmth of wood and stone boards.

A Holladay home’s pool bath features a mirror that meets the ceiling and a vanity with an “all sink” top. Designer Anne-Marie Barton avoided a sterilized modern design by adding the natural beauty of white oak to the more contemporary aspects of the space. She also raised the vanity off the floor to prevent any competition between the room’s two wood pieces. The custom mirror’s wood shelf adds a commanding, horizontal line. In a Park City home designed by architect Michael Upwall, a white angled wall is accentuated by striated ceramic tile walls and floor tile.

He painted the baseboards and window castings white and stained the rest of the details a rich dark color. To visually expand the room, Landry tiled the back wall with dimensional Ann Sacks tile.

To foster the room’s clean-lined, contemporary design, she paired a blue-tiled wall with a unique full-length mirror accented by a classic strip light from Artemide.

“I typically incorporate Lucite into a design when I want to add something surprising to the space or when I need a piece to fulfill a specific functional requirement, but don’t want the weight, bulk or distraction that another material would provide,” says designer Jenny Samuelson, who recently paired an iconic Ghost Chair with an antique desk in a Park City project. “The combination personalizes the décor,” she explains. Design pros also add acrylic furnishings to rid rooms of predictability and stuffiness. “Due to its transparent nature, Lucite works in virtually any setting, from modern to traditional,” Samuelson explains. “It can be dressed up or down and adds interest in a way that other materials cannot.” More
and more, opaque furnishings including those made of brass, leather, wood or chrome are being accented with Lucite, adding a shot of modernity without clashing. It can also add clarity to a room’s design. “Stylistically, it’s the perfect option when one more stylized foot or tapered leg is too much,” says designer Cody Beal, citing the use of Lucitebased benches and stools, for example. “Their legs just disappear.” Lucite has a place in most any space and works well when doubling down on an existing material would be overkill. For example, a piece of acrylic is ideal in rooms in which adding one more wood piece would simply be too much, designer Michele Dunker explains. “It offsets the weight of wood
TAKE CARE Don’t use glass cleaner on Lucite as it can cloud the finish and possibly crack over time. Instead choose an acrylic cleaner and apply it with a nonabrasive, soft cloth or rag. Small scratches can be eliminated with an acrylic polishing cloth. More substantial scratches may require professional buffing.

without competing with it. It doesn’t muddle the décor.” “Whether it is in a cabin or a city condo, a wood or metal console table might look too bulky in a room or detract from an amazing view. A Lucite alternative provides the desired function without distraction,” Samuelson adds. Whatever piece you’re considering, Beal advises selecting high-quality. “Choose thick acrylic with heft,” he says. But don’t go overboard with the material, the pros warn. As Samuelson explains, “With any unique or trending material, less is often more. Simple touches of Lucite can be used to highlight or minimize aspects of the overall design.”

ACRYLIC: PAST TO PRESENT Lucite is actually a brand name for a kind of acrylic resin known by at least 18 different trade names (think Plexiglas and Perspex). Since it was formulated in the late 1920s by chemists at DuPont (Lucite) and Rohm & Haas (Plexiglas), this material has been used in everything from submarine periscopes to serving trays. Helena Rubinstein’s Plexiglas bed.
Lucite and its siblings became commercially available by 1937 and were quickly embraced by the design world. One of the earliest and most famous suites of Plexiglas furniture was commissioned in 1939 for cosmetic magnate Helena Rubinstein’s New York City apartment. Rubenstein, who was often at the forefront of cutting edge design trends, reportedly enjoyed her glamorous illuminated Plexiglas bed so much that she conducted her morning business meetings from it.
During World War II, Lucite fell from design favor, and its primary uses shifted to military applications. After the war, its many manufacturers needed commercial uses for Lucite again, and the material became a favorite for fashionable handbags and jewelry. Then, in the 1960s, it found its next resurgence with furniture designers, who found the material both flexible and chic. Lucite fell briefly from favor again during the 1980s, despite the regrettable rage for see-through platform shoes. Then a Lucite renaissance of sorts began with Philippe Starck’s introduction of the now famous Louis Ghost Chair in 2002. Lucite’s most recent moment has continued unabated, and it continues to dazzle us today as furniture designers, decorators and style-savvy homeowners embrace its transparent beauty.

WINNING RECIPE Designer Bill Cordray and wife Brooke pulled out all the stops when cooking up a new kitchen for their small Salt Lake City home. BY BRAD MEE
PHOTOS BY SCOT ZIMMERMAN

1. CUSTOM ISLAND “It was all about giving the barstools a home,” Bill says, describing the inspiration for his distinctive waterfall island design. Rather than conventionally running the quartz countertop down opposite ends of the island, Bill used Pental quartz to frame only one end of his island and then used it along one side to create an L-shaped nook for counter stools at the island’s end and along the adjoining side. The design isn’t just eye candy. “It’s much nicer visiting when you can face each other rather than sitting side by side,” he says.

ven after 13 years of designing kitchens and cabinetry for homes—ranging from big-budget mountain homes to hip urban lofts (and winning national design awards from SubZero and GE)—Bill Cordray remains modest about his masterly ability to craft a spectacular kitchen. So, it came as no surprise that when asked about whether he’d be open to showing off the new kitchen he and his wife Brooke created for themselves in their small 1,800-square-foot Canyon Rim-area home, he was reluctant. “It’s not all that,” he claimed. Wrong. This kitchen may be short on size, but it is very big on that. Consider the Himalayan Salt wall, for instance, or the island’s modified waterfall design. And then there’s the modern soffit edged with light. The list is long. As with many of Bill’s projects, this new kitchen was reborn from the remodel of an outdated, inefficient space. He and Brooke spent two years designing and planning this new kitchen before removing a wall separating the old dining and cooking areas and then tearing everything else down to the studs. Their goal: create an open kitchen that connects to the outdoors and caters to Brooke’s passion for cooking and the couple’s love of entertaining and relaxing at home. They did all of that and more. “It’s hard to put a value on how much this kitchen has improved our lives at home,” Bill says. Brooke agrees. “I’ve always wanted a ‘Billy’ kitchen,” she says, branding her husband’s acclaimed work. “Now we have one and its everything I hoped it would be.” While there are many elements that make this kitchen a winner, these 12 top our list.
2. CORNER NOOK

The Cordray’s cozy new breakfast nook performs long past the first meal of the day. “We sit here all of the time,” says Brooke who, along with Bill, eats, works and relaxes in the charming space. Bathed in views and dappled sunlight flowing through broad windows, the nook feels like it has one foot outdoors. To link it with the rest of the kitchen, Bill designed a narrow wall at the end of the bench that connects to the perimeter’s lighted soffit. Marble backsplash tile dresses the wall surrounding the nook’s windows, storage drawers hide in the base, and attached back cushions provide comfort and anything-but-fussy style.
Above: The Cordrays: Bill, a designer with Teerlink Cabinet, and Brooke, a holistic nutrition advocate, member of Slow Food Utah, personal chef and cooking instructor.
3. DUAL SINKS Bill advises clients to install two sinks if they have the space. In the Cordray’s kitchen, the large basin sits beneath a new perimeter window while a smaller prep sink is strategically positioned in the island opposite the range. “The prep sink let’s me work while facing guests seated at the island or while teaching small cooking classes,” Brooke explains. The couple chose single-basin sinks (they handle large pots and pans with ease) and passed on stainless steel, instead choosing Blanco Silgranit. “It’s so easy to clean, and I love the dark brown color,” Brooke adds.

4. HORIZONTAL LINES
5. TWO-TONE CABINETS
“In contemporary design, everyone likes horizontal lines,” says Bill of this recurring design element in the kitchen. The room showcases them with horizontally oriented open shelves, wood grains, a modernized soffit and decorative “kerfs,” or notches in the cabinets’ doors and drawer fronts.
Notable in the kitchen’s design is the upper cabinets’ two-tone treatment. The cabinet boxes are elm and their doors are painted white. “It’s a small kitchen and by making the upper cabinets light rather than dark, it feels more spacious,” Bill explains.

6. EXPANSIVE TILE
7. SURPRISING WINDOW
Lenox gray marble tiles cover the walls completely, running from the countertops all the way to the ceiling. “It’s a unifying material,” Bill explains. “You don’t want to see random pieces of drywall that break up a cohesive look.” The elm cabinetry has very little visual movement and the gray-toned tile adds just enough interest without being overwhelming, he explains. “We wanted something that would never look dated but wasn’t boring,” Brooke says.
The Cordrays didn’t want to loose the generous light that flowed through an old doorway’s opening, so rather than boarding over the gap, they installed a door-sized window fronted by floating shelves, a countertop and open storage shelves below. A wine rack and pull-out spice drawers frame this lower opening. Light now washes over the west side of the kitchen and offers views to a secluded patio.

Taking advantage of a jog in the wall between the dining and kitchen areas, Bill positioned the refrigerator so that it appears to be a mere 12-inches deep from its right side as seen from the entry and dining areas. The fridge’s left side connects with the countertop at full depth. “I didn’t want the space to feel congested and the recessed refrigerator helps keep it open,” he says.

9. OUTDOOR LINK “We bought the house because of its connection to the yard,” Bill says. To unite indoors and out, the Cordrays limited themselves to only a few upper cabinets making room for large windows that draw in natural light and frame views of the backyard and patio areas. A kitchen door opens to a spacious deck located directly off the kitchen. Brook adds, “It’s our outdoor living room much of the year.” FALL 2 0 1 6

10. SALT WALL Bill and Brooke transformed a blank wall into an dramatically illuminated niche by insetting a plane of back-lit, brick-stacked Himalayan salt blocks. It’s not just for looks. “Himalayan salt is said to give off negative ions that offset the radiation emitted from appliances and electronics,” says Brooke, explaining one of the material’s reported health benefits. Glass shelves add unobtrusive display space to the feature.

11. ROOM TO ROAM “The most important part of any kitchen design is the space planning,” Bill says. Guided by the shape of the room, he and Brooke divided their modestly sized open kitchen into three zones— the main cooking area, the dining space and the window-framed corner housing a nook. The room’s island sits at the center of the kitchen surrounded by wide walkways. “We wanted generous passages,” explains Bill, who devised 46-inchwide alleys between the island and counters.

12. STYLIZED SOFFIT A wood-faced, modern soffit defines the Lshaped perimeter of the ceiling. It also visually unifies a mix of elements running along the two adjoining walls including the refrigerator, hood space, upper cabinets and the sink and nook areas. Along the soffit’s edge, a narrow trough houses LED lights that accentuates the room’s clean-lined design and injects a glowing shot of hip, sophisticated style. “It’s one of my favorite features,” Bill says of the illuminated channels.

Landscape designer Jayson King transformed a dated Park Meadows Country Club home into an outdoor oasis with loads of curb appeal. He and his team executed a front-of-the-home overhaul with spectacular, non-structural changes. They created a new patio seating area anchored by an in-theground fire feature. They also added custom planters, low stone walls and smaller, big-impact landscape elements.
H
e calls it a “lipstick redo.” Jayson King, owner and lead designer of Landform Design Group, says that after his clients bought their Park Meadows Country Club home, they fully renovated the dated ‘80s interior. When finished, they set their sights on the backyard. King and his team began landscaping, but soon discovered that it was going to take more than that to create the clients’ desired results. “We kept going back to the fact that the house didn’t look that great either,” King says. “We needed to update the exterior.” So, they changed the entire look of the house and its outdoor spaces—and this is where the “lipstick” part comes in—not with major structural changes, FALL 2 0 1 6

but with use of stucco, stone, softened fascia and an attention to detail. As King explains, this is the latest trend in home landscaping— a whole-home approach in which the outside of a property is viewed as an extension of the living space inside of it. “The overall idea is that you have this beautiful home and you have this beautiful property—let’s connect them,” King says. “When you buy a home, it’s its not just a home and a separate landscape. It should all be cohesive.” The homeowners had a list of items they wanted in their outdoor space, says King, including “a great entertainment space where they would feel a little more connected to the golf course and the views.” Their wish-list included a kitchen space and shaded areas, and because they have children and pets, they also wanted privacy from the golf course located just beyond their rear property line. The end result is an amazing transformation. King and his team created a shaded structure with tie-off beams that point toward the mountain view. They loaded the area beneath with cozy, high-style furniture and features including heaters, built-in audio and electric shades. They installed architectural umbrellas, each covering a 10-by-10-foot area, to provide shade over the patio’s outdoor kitchen. The canopies slide down the poles so that they shade the setting sun without blocking the view from inside the house. Off the patio, short and staggered boundary walls intersect and establish the fence line for the property without blocking views of the golf course beyond. Each showcases a unique water detail—for instance, a channel fills with

King’s Fab Five What five things does Jayson King think every landscape needs? Well, “It’s difficult,” he says, “Everybody’s five things will vary. Your priorities might be different than mine.” But for him, as a recent homeowner, his top five must-haves include: Covered Structure 1. A
“A shady place, so you can get out of the sun.” Fire Element 2. A
“It creates ambiance, a place to gather and warmth on chilly nights.” 3. Curb Appeal
“It adds a lot of value. It’s all about creating an ambiance and an entryway to your house.” 4. Outdoor Kitchen
“As crazy as you want to get with it, but at least a built-in barbecue grill. I’m a big fan of built-ins. They makes a space look cohesive .” 5. Built-in Seating
“We use a lot of walls and a lot of architectural elements that double as seating. They’re great for spillover.”

It’s a feature King calls “a fantastic detail.” This was not only a backyard re-do.

New furniture and a fire element in the side yard are placed within eyesight of a built-in trampoline incorporating a cool spraying water feature. “It’s an
amazing property,” says King, “All the fun details came together—the umbrellas, the pots, the furniture— everything is cohesive.” King says that a few months after he completed the work, he received a photo from the homeowner of their friends enjoying the yard and sipping wine around the side yard’s fire feature. “That’s why we do what we do,” King says. “Only two years ago, enjoying that space would have been impossible for them.” Today his clients enjoy a home that lives large, front to back, inside and out.

ant something really different and daring? Dara Modern has it all. Dara Modern offers hip furniture and home accessories. “We offer products not currently found in Utah,” says owner Dustin Matinkhah. “These range from modern pet accessories and unique kitchenware to modern Italian furniture.” This chic furniture store carries fresh brands such as Kartell, Alessi, Amura, Driade, Normann Copenhagen, Bernhardt Design, Menu A/S, Iittala, Calligaris, Gloster and more. “We are constantly looking for new brands that currently have no presence in Salt Lake City, or Utah for that matter,” says Matinkhah.
“A few years ago I built a modern home and found it difficult to find the contemporary furniture and products I wanted to furnish it with locally,” says Matinkhah. “So I purchased most items online or out of state. I saw a growing market that lacked the resources.” As Salt Lake City and surrounding areas continue to grow and become more diverse, appreciation for well-designed products has grown as well. Now, Dara Modern fills that gap. “Customers love coming to us not only to find great pieces for their homes, but also unique and well-designed gifts,” he says. “Customer service is
our number-one priority and we will do everything we can to make sure you find exactly what you are looking for.”

“Fragmented patterns on square and rectangular tiles produce large and unique compositions,” says Kathy Shumate. “By mixing and matching geometric shapes such as a hexagon and patterns, we can create spaces that ‘pop,’ giving a kaleidoscopic effect.”

Founder Marsha Holfeltz began her career in textile buying and traveled all over the world in search of luxurious fabrics. She added home and office furnishings into the mix when she opened her first retail store in the San Francisco Bay area 14 years ago. Luckily for Utah, she felt that Salt Lake needed some of her high-glam and mid-century modern looks and opened her location at 3960 S. Highland Drive. Since then, Madison McCord Interiors has become the mid-century modern and contemporary furniture headquarters in town, known for its custom upholstery. With stunning sofas, sectionals and chairs in more than 700 frames and available in over 1,000 fabrics and leathers, it’s easy. “First you select a style, then the size and configuration that best suits your needs, and finally the fabric,” Holfeltz

Holfeltz welcomes a challenge and encourages customers to bring in pictures or drawings. “Our custom design team will make your personal vision a one-of-a-kind beauty,” she says. “With our custom capabilities, you can have exactly what you are dreaming of.” The showroom features a large selection of artwork including prints and giclée from local and

Rooted in tradition but designed for today, Brandon and Andrea Leroy’s new Highland home combines classic style with modern-day comfort and conveniences.

uilder Brandon Leroy takes pride in two things: crafting homes meant to last for generations and bringing inspiring architecture to life. It comes as no surprise then that these were both top of mind when he and his wife Andrea teamed with Establish Design—architect Bradford Houston and designers Elizabeth Wixom and Kimberly Rasmussen—to create the Leroy’s new family home in Highland. “We wanted a home that would fit and inspire our lives,” says Brandon, principal at Jackson & Leroy, a premier builder located in Salt Lake City. Over the years, Brandon and Andrea had conceived such a house and presented preliminary drawings of it during their first meeting with Establish Design. “They had a strong vision of how they wanted to live in

the home and asked us to help design the structure around that,” Houston explains. The process began with two months of soul searching and fact finding about the family, how they live and what they value. Then came vision boards—used to guide the creation of the house, start to finish. “This initial vision is crucial,” Houston says. “You don’t create a home before you know its character.” That character, they determined, would be modern in livability but classic in style. “You could describe the home as old-meets-new,” Rasmussen explains. She and the Establish team looked to architecture of the past for inspiration and information, focusing primarily on the century-old work of British architect Sir Edwin Lutyens, re-

A stained wood ceiling warms the large, symmetrically designed kitchen. “The hood lines up perfectly with the center of the family room fireplace across the great room space,” Wixom explains.

nowned for his English country manors. They also traveled to Europe to study English farm houses and collaborated closely with the Leroys to weave much of what they learned into the dwelling’s design, inside and out. The home’s exterior exudes a classic beauty, shaped by time-honored design, authentic materials and finely crafted architecture. Painted brick walls, for instance, rise directly from the earth rather than from a modern-day exposed foundation. Leroy recessed the home’s floors into the foundation rather than setting them on top to eliminate any separation of indoors and out caused by elevation changes. “Seemingly small details, these both add substantially to the unique look and feel of the house,” he says. These include everything from swooping roofs formed of cedar shakes and copper flashing to the oversized brass pull centered on the handcrafted front door painted robin’s egg blue. “We agonized over every

detail,” Rasmussen says. The home’s interior benefitted similarly from their efforts. A cozy, light-filled entry welcomes visitors into the house and introduces a large family room, emanating church-like tranquility. The scale is grand, but the interior is serene, warm and welcoming. On one end, a hand-built limestone chimney draws the eye up, underscoring the sense of soaring space. Framed with large dormer windows that flood the room in heavenly light, the vaulted ceiling boasts massive beams softened with gentle curves and a whitewashed finish. Below, openings providing entrée to the home’s private quarters feature similar arched timbers. “They’re beautiful, almost Carpenter Gothic portals that feel like they wrap around you,” Houston says.

palette of natural shades and textures that soothe and charm the room, the custom furnishings have a decidedly collected look. The mix of these tailored pieces foster the room’s flexibility and relaxed, timeless style. The room’s opposite end opens to a spacious, symmetrically styled kitchen. There, the family room’s soaring vaulted ceiling gives way to a lowered wood ceiling that shelters the kitchen with warmth and comfort. Replete with a windowed interior wall and a unique split island devised by Wixom, the kitchen connects to a multi-purpose study, a window-wrapped breakfast room and a spacious pantry. “It’s a great room concept, but there are many visual barriers designed to make these open, connected spaces feel like separate, intimate rooms,” Brandon explains. “Our mission statement was to create a home that gathers our family,” Brandon says. The open floor plan does just that. The Leroy children, ranging in age from 8 to 14, flock to the study, family room and backyard, rather than retreating to their small bedrooms devoid
of desks and TVs. From the kitchen island, Andrea can monitor each of these active areas at a glance. “Everything about this design was meant to pull us into the open spaces,” Brandon explains. When he and Andrea want to escape or spend quiet times with the kids, they head upstairs where the serene master suite welcomes them with separate “bays” designed for sitting, sleeping and bathing. “It’s a huge suite but the individual pockets make it feel intimate,” Wixom explains. From the very start, the team conceived and created each space with the family’s needs and wants in mind. And yet, the design isn’t static. “The home is set up to evolve and change with us,” Brandon says. The study, he explains, can morph into a piano room or large dining space.

“If we could make our house a home, and then make it a sanctuary, I think we could truly find paradise on Earth,” penned author Alexandra Stoddard. The words perfectly describe the creation of Keith and Jennifer Gardiner’s spectacular mountain residence. “They wanted a generational retreat for themselves and their family,” says interior designer Anne-Marie Barton. She teamed with Think Architecture’s John Shirley and builder Chad Magleby of Magleby Construction to craft such a place: a warm and inviting estate that would serve as a year-round getaway located in Wolf Creek Ranch, a pristine 14,000-acre development just minutes outside of Park City. “The house was designed around a mountainranch concept,” says Magleby, who recalls walking the bucolic property with the Gardiners to determine the placement of the home on the 160-acre site. “When we zeroed in on where we would place the house, Jennifer got so excited she said could almost smell the coffee from the porch,”

Magleby recalls. Shirley, who also toured the property to perfect the dwelling’s orientation, adds, “As with all great homes, this design is truly a response to a fantastic site.” Jennifer’s love of art kick-started the estate’s design. The project began with an art studio that resembles an old homestead cabin, a small stone and timber structure. “It is one of the jewels of the whole property.” Shirley says. “Private, surrounded by aspens and on the water’s edge looking out towards the Wasatch, it’s one of my favorite parts of the design.” The large main house—with seven bedrooms and nine baths—and a separate barn/guest house appear to have been added later to the property. From the front, the home overlooks an acre-plus private lake designed by landscape designer Steven Gilbert. “What started as a small water feature became a key part of the entire project,” Magleby says of the trout-stocked lake. A large 65-foot bridge leads from the main drive, across the 18-foot-deep body of water to the home’s entry porch and motor court. “Great care was given to the approach,” Shirley explains. A mix of naturally rustic materials links the exterior of the mountain home to its site and elevates the interior’s style as well. Recurring reclaimed wood creates a sense of timelessness, cut and chiseled stone fosters the home’s handcrafted character, and artisan-crafted log timbers from Montana add raw yet refined beauty. “Rather than taking all the bark off, we left an under-layer of bark,” Magleby says of the log beams’ slip-peel treatment. “They’re somewhat rustic but also very elegant.” These two terms—rustic and elegant—aptly describe the home’s compelling interior.

An antique rug, vintage pillow fabrics and custom built-in bunks create a warm, welcoming vibe in the home’s bunk room.
“He is a hunter and she is an artist,” Barton says, explaining Keith’s desire for rustic character and Jennifer’s desire for something more refined and European. Barton took the owners’ personalities and styles to heart as she masterfully created an eclectic mix that resonates throughout. “From each room you feel the entanglement of rusticity and elegance,” she says. “There isn’t tension; it’s a perfect marriage of both.” When one walks into the grand entry, these interwoven styles become immediately apparent. A Michael Coleman painting of a bull elk hangs on a stone wall above a more refined white oak Denison console crafted by Billy Bradshaw. A faded antique rug surprisingly overlays a steer hide to warm the stone floor while, above, a wood-planked and beamed ceiling overlooks the voluminous space. “From the beginning, everything merges throughout the home,” Barton says. The hero of the main house may be the majestic great room that opens both east and west, capturing views of both the Wasatch and Uinta mountains. The grand space is anchored by a towering stone fireplace and crowned by a reclaimed-wood ceiling and a framework
of split-peel log beams positioned high to allow light and views to flow unfettered inside. Here, and throughout the architecturally dynamic home, Barton embraced “European layering,” a direction she relished after having recently designed many clean-lined modern interiors . “It was glorious layering again,” she says. Collaborating with her clients for more than two years, Barton turned her discerning eye to creating, finding and gathering custom and antique furnishings, vintage fabrics, animal hides, artwork, tribal rugs and eyecatching collections for display. From two 10-foot-long, linen-upholstered custom sofas in the great room to the kitchen’s limestone hood and a pair of lanterns hanging over the oak-topped dining table, Barton selected and mixed unique pieces to ensure that the home felt warm, welcoming and, above all, a reflection of its owners’ tastes and style of living. The house appears to have been there for decades, Barton explains. “It’s not a quick-build chalet; it has depth,” she says. “It’s a family heirloom.” It’s an heirloom the Gardiners and their clan will enjoy for seasons and years to come.

hen Nick and Michelle Luekenga were looking for a spot to build their new family home in Fruit Heights, they only needed to look up. Set high on the east bench, the steep lot offered spectacular views and was located in their desired neighborhood. The couple bought the property and then enlisted architect Stephen Howard, a new principal at GSBS Architects, to design a house that is decidedly modern but also respects the enclave’s traditional bent. “The design suits both me and Michelle,” Nick explains. “I would have gone even more contemporary and she a little less.” The Luekengas didn’t need to look far to find their interior designer, either. Nick’s sister is Jessica Bennett, co-owner and principal designer at Alice Lane Home Collection. Bennett is renowned for creating freshly

A walnut hearth runs below a firewood niche and the firebox is framed in black mosaic tile, visually enlarging the opening.

styled traditional decors for A-list clients, so when the couple hired her to satisfy Nick’s modern cravings as well as Michelle’s appetite for warmth and comfort, Bennett and lead designer Stacie Graves were excited to get started. “This project allowed us to flex a different design muscle,” Bennett says enthusiastically. The duo set to work conjuring a décor that combines clean lines, modern forms, organic elements and notable nods to the Mid-Century design. “Sometimes contemporary can be too hard-edged but we were committed to making it warm and inviting,” Bennett says. The designers’ devotion to surprising treatments—a trademark of their work—is also evident. Case in point: a
20-foot-tall tower of offset marble framing an asymmetrical fireplace that anchors the great room with heroic proportions and head-turning style. “It’s the home’s big wow moment, second only to the views,” Nick says. The home’s stairway is equally impressive. To befit Howard’s striking open staircase, Graves dressed the stairwell’s wall with a twist on traditional paneling. Rather than creating a conventional grid of panels using molding that stands out from the wall, she reversed it and made a “deconstructed plaid” pattern from panels that protrude instead. “Stacie’s work as a graphic artist translated spectacularly on this project,” Bennett explains.

In the master bedroom, walnut uniquely frames each window with a shadowbox effect. Dark walnut chests by Noir and an Arteriors mirror foster the room’s comfortable, modern style.
Graves’ play on patterns and angles hit the kitchen as well. There, she ran the diagonal white-oak flooring to the base of the stoolfronted island and then changed its angle as the planks continued to run up the island’s face. “It’s as if the planks ricochet off the island and go a different direction,” Bennett observes. Nearby, a colorful blurred wall mural also packs a bold visual punch. “I wanted a big Banksy graffiti-type thing on the wall,“ Nick says. The kitchen’s mural also prevents the wall-mounted TV from becoming a focal point. “They wanted the TV to all but disappear,” Graves explains. The room’s gleaming backsplash also tricks the eye: What appears to be a slab of onyx is actually a thin sheet of porcelain that spans the area below an impressively large hood. “We stretched the hood over the entire counter to add mass and weight,” Bennett explains. Despite its one-of-a kind treatments and daring details, the interior remains calm and cohesive. A neutral palette of light, putty-toned walls paired with white oak and limestone floors creates a quiet backdrop for modern forms, pops of color and refined wal-
nut beams, furniture and cabinetry. “Walnut is primary,” Bennett explains. “It is strong, sophisticated and adds depth.” The walnut is also used to encompass windows with thin, shadow-like frames. “It’s a hybrid,” Graves says of the window treatment. “Walnut makes it Mid-Century, the application makes it modern and the wood makes it traditional.” This compelling combination of styles repeats throughout. In the great room, for example, an Eames chair pairs with a contemporary abstract canvas and gold floor lamp. In the guest bath, a hardware-free walnut vanity sits below channeled walls faced with a large 48-inch mirror. And in the entry, a graphically composed walnut door juxtaposes with limestone floors and a ‘50’s-inspired credenza. Room-to-room, this smartly curated mix shapes the interior’s fresh and seamless design. When they were finished, the team succeeded in creating the modern, inviting home the Luekenga family desired. “We wanted to hit the sweet spot between really contemporary ideas and traditional comfort and graciousness,” Graves explains. From the architecture down to the accents, mission accomplished.

CHEMISTRY CLASS Louis Camille Maillard (February 4, 1878 – May 12, 1936) was a French physician with a marvelous handlebar mustache and a bent for chemistry—he was admitted to the science faculty at the University of Nancy when he was only 16. His knack for chemistry allowed him to join the faculty of medicine at the University of Paris, where he specialized in kidney illnesses. But it was work on the reaction between amino acids and sugars that brought him fame and attached his name to the mouthwatering effect we savor.

‘TIS THE SEASON THINK ABOUT IT: Roast beast—turkey, beef, pork—is synonymous with holiday feasting. So let’s fire up the oven. To begin, know the facts: Roasting is cooking foods with a dry (no moisture added) heat (at least 200 degrees) surrounding the food on all sides. Originally, food—mostly meats—were roasted on a revolving spit over fire. Now most of us roast in a pan in the oven which, technically, is the same as baking. Or toasting. But the deep-brown flavor imparted by roasting doesn’t need to be confined to animal proteins. Lots of other foods benefit from roasting’s extra flavor. The secret of roasting is the Maillard reaction, a

chemical reaction between amino acids and reducing sugars that results in that caramelized, bittersweet flavor. It accounts for crisp, brown crusts on bread and cakes, for the various flavors of coffee, for the heightened flavor of roasted nuts. Fact is, a toasted marshmallow is a perfect example of the Maillard reaction. And how about veggies? Roasted mixed vegetables are a great side dish to meat and make a vegetarian main dish, especially if you add nuts, grated Parmesan, crumbled blue cheese, goat cheese or ricotta salata. They also “winterize” a green salad—try adding a few unsweetened roasted cherries, nuts or apricots for contrast.

GREEN VEGETABLES
WHOLE CAULIFLOWER
Preheat oven to 425. You can use green beans, Brussels sprouts, broccoli and cauliflower florets and green asparagus. Make sure the pieces are approximately the same size. Toss the pieces with quartered onions in enough olive oil to coat them lightly. Put them in a roasting pan with plenty of room between the vegetables and sprinkle with kosher salt. Use two pans if you need to, but don’t overcrowd. Roast vegetables uncovered, stirring and turning occasionally, about 45 minutes.
Preheat oven to 400. A great centerpiece for a vegetarian feast or a winning side dish. Trim a whole cauliflower of its outer leaves and cut out a lot of the main stem, without disconnecting the florets. Grind 2 cloves of garlic in a mortar and pestle with a teaspoon of smoked paprika, 2 tablespoons of fresh thyme leaves and a 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt. Mix this into 1 1/4 cup Greek yogurt and slather the whole head of cauliflower in the yogurt. Place on a greased baking sheet and roast until tender, about 40 minutes. Sprinkle with toasted sliced almonds or chopped parsley and lemon zest. Present whole and cut like a cake.

Provisions’ roasted asparagus with poached egg.
R(T)OASTED NUTS CHOOSE YOUR METHOD—you can roast nuts in the oven, on the stovetop or in the microwave. The only trick is watching them carefully. Nuts go from brown to burned in seconds. For all methods, spread the nuts in an even, uncrowded layer and remove from the pan as soon as you take them off the heat. Otherwise, they can continue cooking. MICROWAVE: Use a glass plate and microwave the nuts in one minute intervals, tossing them between each minute. OVEN: Preheat your oven to 350 and spread the nuts on a baking sheet. Timing varies from about five minutes for pine nuts to 15 minutes for peanuts. Most nuts take about 12 minutes, but like I warned, keep an eye on them.
ROOTS AND GOURDS Preheat oven to 400. Peel all the vegetables (two pounds of vegetables will serve 4–6 people)—winter squash, pumpkin, celery root, parsnips, carrots, beets, yams, potatoes, turnips, rutabagas—and cut them into similar-sized pieces. Toss the chunks with two quartered onions and coat lightly with olive oil. Put in a roasting pan with plenty of room between the vegetables and sprinkle with kosher salt. Use two pans if needed. Roast vegetables uncovered, stirring and turning occasionally, about 1 hour 15 minutes, or until vegetables are tender and the outside is brown. Toss with chopped thyme before roasting, if desired.
STOVETOP: Put a dry skillet over medium heat and add the nuts when the pan is hot. Stir them often to prevent burning. Nuts are high in fat and relatively high in protein, meaning they are ripe for the Maillard reaction. The addition of toasted nuts—to vegetables, especially—lends substance, mouth-feel, umami and satisfaction to leaner, more austere flavors. The classic example is green beans amandine, but there are other great vegetable-nut combinations. A little butter never hurt anything. Stir-fry spinach and toss with toasted cashews. Sprinkle toasted walnuts over roasted butternut squash. Mix Brussels sprouts with toasted hazelnuts. Garnish cauliflower with toasted pine nuts. Toasted pecans over sweet potatoes.

WINNING RECIPE
ven after 13 years of designing kitchens and cabinetry for homes—ranging from big-budget mountain homes to hip urban lofts (and winning national design awards from SubZero and GE)—Bill Cordray remains modest about his masterly ability to craft a spectacular kitchen. So, it came as no surprise that when asked about whether he’d be open to showing off the new kitchen he and his wife Brooke

created for themselves in their small 1,800-square-foot Canyon Rim-area home, he was reluctant. “It’s not all that,” he claimed. Wrong. This kitchen may be short on size, but it is very big on that. Consider the Himalayan Salt wall, for instance, or the island’s modified waterfall design. And then there’s the modern soffit edged with light. The list is long. As with many of Bill’s projects, this new kitchen was reborn from the remodel of an outdated, inefficient space. He and Brooke spent two years designing and planning this new kitchen before removing a wall separating the old dining and cooking areas and then tearing everything else down to the studs. Their goal: create an open kitchen that connects to the outdoors and caters to Brooke’s passion for cooking and the couple’s love of entertaining and relaxing at home. They did all of that and more. “It’s hard to put a value on how much this kitchen has improved our lives at home,” Bill says. Brooke agrees. “I’ve always wanted a ‘Billy’ kitchen,” she says, branding her husband’s acclaimed work. “Now we have one and its everything I hoped it would be.” While there are many elements that make this kitchen a winner, these 12 top our list.
The Cordray’s cozy new breakfast nook performs long past the first meal of the day. “We sit here all of the time,” says Brooke who, along with Bill, eats, works and relaxes in the charming space. Bathed in views and dappled sunlight flowing through broad windows, the nook feels like it has one foot outdoors. To link it with the rest of the kitchen, Bill designed a narrow wall at the end of the bench that connects

to the perimeter’s lighted soffit. Marble backsplash tile dresses the wall surrounding the nook’s windows, storage drawers hide in the base, and attached back cushions provide comfort and anything-but-fussy style.
3. DUAL SINKS

Bill advises clients to install two sinks if they have the space. In the Cordray’s kitchen, the large basin sits beneath a new perimeter window while a smaller prep sink is strategically positioned in the island opposite the range. “The prep sink let’s me work while facing guests seated at the island or while teaching small cooking classes,” Brooke explains. The couple chose single-basin sinks (they handle
1. CUSTOM ISLAND “It was all about giving the barstools a home,” Bill says, describing the inspiration for his distinctive waterfall island design. Rather than conventionally running the quartz countertop down opposite ends of the island, Bill used Pental quartz to frame only one end of his island and then used it along one side to create an L-shaped nook for counter stools at the island’s end and along the adjoining side. The design isn’t just eye candy. “It’s much nicer visiting when you can face each other rather than sitting side by side,” he says.

large pots and pans with ease) and passed on stainless steel, instead choosing Blanco Silgranit. “It’s so easy to clean, and I love the dark brown color,” Brooke adds.

Landscape designer Jayson King transformed a dated Park Meadows Country Club home into an outdoor oasis with loads of curb appeal. He and his team executed a front-of-the-home overhaul with spectacular, non-structural changes. They created a new patio seating area anchored by an in-theground fire feature. They also added custom planters, low stone walls and smaller, big-impact landscape elements.

e calls it a “lipstick redo.” Jayson King, owner and lead designer of Landform Design Group, says that after his clients bought their Park Meadows Country Club home, they fully renovated the dated ‘80s interior. When finished, they set their sights on the backyard. King and his team began landscaping, but soon discovered that it was going to take more than that to create the clients’ desired results. “We kept going back to the fact that the house didn’t look that great either,” King says. “We needed to update the exterior.” So, they changed the entire look of the house and its outdoor spaces—and this is where the “lipstick” part comes in—not with major structural changes, FALL 2 0 1 6
