EDITOR’S NOTE

HUNGRY FOR CHANGE

NSPIRED BY the idea that what’s old is new again—and perhaps encouraged by a renewed interest in all things 70s—my friend Kelly asked me whether I thought her avocado countertop tiles are ripe for a comeback. “Doubtful,” I said. Avocado may be a favorite in the food world, but few have a taste for it as a go-to color for their décor. Kelly realizes her decades-old tile and timeworn kitchen are prompting a project, and she is hungry for a renovation. After pulling this beforeand-after issue of Utah Style & Design together, it’s clear to me that she’s not alone. Now more than ever, it seems our collective appetite for renewing, remodeling and resuscitating our homes is insatiable. How would you feed yours? Billy Stern, whose home is one of many spectacular redos featured in this issue, satisfied his remodel craving with modern style, bright light, and a whoosh of witty details. “A home should be fun,” he says. No argument here. Homeowners Donnie and Kyong Millar used the

classic style of their 1920s home to drive its new chic and timeless interior. Basketweave tiled floors, black-painted doors and snazzy gold hardware? Dazzling. Master cabinetry-maker David Chamberlain and wife Rachelle similarly looked to their mid-century modern abode for direction as they turned their kitchen into a statement of high-fashion and practicality. “We like to call it our functional showcase,” Rachelle says. Landscape pro Willie Eschenfelder transformed a lackluster property in Holladay into an oasis of shimmering ponds and pools, lush gardens, shaded patios and even a Japanese-styled sauna. His daunting undertaking takes garden style to a new level. The following pages are filled with these and many more remarkable redos. Each will inspire and perhaps prompt some changes where you live. And to Kelly, I’d suggest starting with those avocado countertops. BRAD MEE, EDITOR IN CHIEF

MADELINE GRAY is a new contributor to Utah Style & Design. She’s a writer with a true love of great design and great food. By night, she’s a chef-in-training at culinary school. In this issue she writes about Taste (page 36), a stunning Utah chocolate shop that happens to showcase two of her favorite things: breathtaking design and world-class chocolate. “The shop is stunning from floor to ceiling, and knowing the story of how it came to be only makes it more captivating,” she says. Gray lives in Provo with her husband.

ANNA STEVENETT, a new contributor to Utah Style & Design magazine, loves a good notebook. “Good ones are hard to find,” she says. “Arte Haus Collectif is one of the best sources I’ve found in Salt Lake, not to mention that I could spend all day in the gallery.” It’s no surprise Stevenett jumped at the chance to write about the renovation of this gallery and dwell shop as well as the talented team that directed it (page 42).

SHOP TALK

FRENCH DRESSING

Left: Taste owners Phil Davis, Morgan and Char Coleman

MAKING CHOCOLATE is a culinary art form, and Taste—a chocolate shop nestled in historic downtown Provo—is a work of architectural art. The walls glow a luxe shade of blue, antique gold chandeliers cast a soft light on the marble tabletops and a gentle hint of chocolate fills the air. The place feels quintessentially Parisian, somehow transplanted in the streets of Provo. “We wanted a place where people can come and feel like they’re out of town,” said Char Coleman. Together with her husband, Morgan, and their business partner, Phil Davis, the dream to make bean-to-bar chocolate has become a fully functioning chocolate factory and adjoining shop. The space was formerly a minimalist art gallery, with nothing but drywall and wood floors. Taste hired Alice Lane Home Collection to redesign the space, a decision that turned their simple renovation plans into an even grander venture. Matt Dickamore, the senior designer on the project, found inspiration in the old-world chocolate shops of Europe and the film, Chocolat. He envisioned a space that was classical, refined and transporting. “The goal was to create an experience for anyone walking through the door,” says Dickamore. No detail was accidental. “These are serious craftsman and they wanted the interior to set the mood,” says Jessica Bennett, the principal of Alice Lane who oversaw the project. “The space is just a backdrop—their chocolate is heroic.” Taste is open 1-9 p.m. daily, with extended hours on weekends. Special tastings occur Thursday and Friday evenings, with an ever-changing events calendar available on its website, havetaste.com.

IN GOOD TASTE

IN SEASON The first artichoke-eater must have been very hungry to find his way past the prickles to the tender heart—artichokes are undoubtedly one of the most formidable looking plants on the menu. But they’re not any more trouble to cook than asparagus—and they are so worth the trouble. How to select: Buy artichokes with good green and purple color, avoid browning edges and look for closely packed fat leaves or petals. How to prepare: Cut off the stem close to the base, cut off an inch across the very top of the head and trim the pointed ends off the rest of the leaves. Rinse. How to cook: Steam the artichoke over water infused with lemon slices and bay leaves until the bottom is fork-tender (about 25 minutes).

DID YOU KNOW?

A single artichoke plant can produce more than 20 artichokes per year. And, with a little care, there are varieties that are suitable for growing in Utah, especially given the mild winters of late.

A craving for one of spring’s prickliest crops inspires recipes for tasty dips & sips

Three easy-to-make artichoke dipping sauces

Stir together 3/4 cup mayonnaise, 2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice, 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper, 1/4 tsp. turmeric, 1/4 tsp. powdered ginger, 1/2 tsp. cumin, 1/2 tsp. curry powder and 1/2 tsp. garlic powder.

ARTICHOKE AMARO The thistly artichoke is the primary botanical flavor of Cynar, a popular bitter-sweet Italian liqueur. Given the recent rise in popularity of the Negroni cocktail, made with another bitter liqueur (Campari), Cynar should be showing up on more cocktail menus. Scott Evans, who creates cocktails for his East Liberty Tap House, enjoys using lesser-known ingredients—Cynar is a favorite. “It is pretty cool that Salt Lakers are ordering and serving more than just sugary cocktails like they were almost exclusively five years ago,” he says. “Bitter spirits and liquors

U TA H S T Y L E A N D D E S I G N . C O M

are increasing in availability and can add complexity to a ton of drinks. This cocktail was inspired by a cross of a whiskey sour and a Rob Roy. I love the bitterness and sweetness from Cynar, the smoky and peaty strength of Scotch and the refreshing acidity of fresh citrus, in this case grapefruit.” • 1.5 oz. Scotch • 1 oz. Cynar • ¼ oz. grapefruit juice • Grapefruit bitters • Splash of soda Fill mixing tin with ice, shake and pour into a rocks glass full of ice

Whisk together 3 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar, 3 Tbsp. olive oil, 1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard, a pinch of sea salt and a few grinds of black pepper.

Melt together 1/2 stick salted butter, 1 minced garlic clove, 2 tsps. lemon juice, 1/4 tsp. crushed dried dill.

ENTERTAINING

DINING OUT ‘Tis the season for garden parties. Michelle Cousins shares easy tips for throwing a stylish soiree. TAKE IT OUTSIDE “Just because a dinner party is outside doesn't mean you should sacrifice style or comfort,” says Michelle Cousins, owner of Michelle Leo Events. She staged this soirée around a chic farm table paired with wood chairs. “Don't limit yourself to outdoor furniture,” she says. Cousins dressed the table with a runner, explaining that “a linen tablecloth would be too formal.” This pro also suggests you dine later in the evening to avoid the heat, provide lighting for after-dark entertaining, include bite-sized foods on the menu and consider on-site grilling. “The smell of grilled food adds to any outdoor dining experience.”

PERFECT THE PALETTE Vintage bread-and-butter plates purchased on Etsy inspired Cousins' color palette. Multiple shades of blush, coral and fuchsia adorn the place settings and flowers. “I look at a color as a guide and then branch out to shades and tones of the color to add depth and dimension. People get stuck on one color and one color family. Various shades and tones offers more opportunity,” says Cousins who also loves to add and mix metallics. “From silver to rose gold, metallics add depth and sparkle.” Cousin's layered place settings include folded pink napkins, vintage patterned plates purchased online, wicker chargers from Cost Plus World Market and printed menus. Cousins hired a local artist to hand-paint the custom menu to complement the plates. “Regardless of the size of the party, a printed menu finishes a place setting and is a great conversation piece.”

FINESSE THE FLOWERS What's a dinner table with out flowers? “Naked,” responds Cousins. “That is, except when a meal is served family style and plates of food become the centerpiece.” When setting a table with flowers, she suggests avoiding fragrant blooms that detract from the food aromas. She also favors arrangements that allow guests to converse freely without having to look through or around the flowers. While this table's centerpiece is large, the flowers are kept low and the candles are spread out to foster unobstructed conversations.

COLOR WATCH

Cousins predicts we’ll see a lot of purples, from foggy blue to eggplant hues, on this year’s best-dressed tables. Of course, soft pinks and the pale blue—Pantone’s colors of the year—will also be very popular.

ART SCENE

STRIPPED DOWN CHIC Heidi Jube and Holly Addi

U TA H S T Y L E A N D D E S I G N . C O M

ARTE HAUS COLLECTIF, the gallery and dwell shop near 9th and 9th in Salt Lake City, is beautiful, but it wasn’t always this way. Once a small home converted into a law office, much of the building’s original structure and old-style beauty was lost over time. But early last year when owners Holly Addi and Heidi Jube saw it, they realized it had potential. The two women shared a vision of the building revived and spent several months transforming it to look like they imagined. Much of that time was spent stripping it down to its original makeup. “The neutral white palette mixed with the wood and exposed 100-year-old brick gives this little gem

an authentic, European feel. We wanted the space to feel as though you’d walked into a little place in Paris, Berlin or Copenhagen,” says Jube. Now back to its roots, the shop houses works from different local designers and jewelers, international artwork and their own in-house brand, Collectif. Monokle Collection candles— Jube’s own—are sold almost exclusively at Arte Haus. Purchases are boxed, not bagged, and the space is perfect for hosting parties, gallery strolls and pop-up shops.

HUMMING ALONG Hummingbirds seem to be flitting about everywhere, delivering whimsy and wonder to rooms and gardens alike. Why not make them at home in yours?

Fritz Kollmann

how to: PLANT A HUMMINGBIRD HAVEN Fritz Kollmann, garden designer and the horticulturist for Red Butte Garden’s new Water Conservation Garden, offers tips for attracting hummingbirds into your yard. Broad-tailed and black-chinned hummingbirds both breed and spend their summers in the mountains and valleys of Northern Utah. With thoughtful plant selections you can attract hummingbirds and provide high-quality nectar throughout the summer to encourage them to stick around.

FLIGHTS OF FANCY

Harlequin’s contemporary take on botanical etchings creates a collection of lively hummingbird-themed wall papers and fabrics for the home. Amazilia Collection available through the trade. harlequin.uk.com

DINNER IS SERVED There is no reason to buy commercial nectar mix, according to Rob McFarland of Ward & Child—The Garden Store. “Just dissolve one cup of sugar in four cups of boiling-hot water,” he says. “And don’t add food coloring as it can harm the birds.” This pro stores unused syrup in the refrigerator (it keeps for weeks) and replaces food in his feeder as frequently as every 3-4 days during summer as it can turn rancid in the heat.

U TA H S T Y L E A N D D E S I G N . C O M

Hummingbirds tend to prefer plants with tubular flowers. Red Hot Pokers (Kniphofia), Beardtongues (Penstemon), and Hummingbird Mint (Agastache cana, rupestris and hybrids) are all excellent, drought-tolerant choices that are available in a dazzling array of colors and can fit well with almost any Red Hot Pokers planting scheme. Native Milkweeds (Asclepias) are also beloved by hummingbirds and have extra conservation value as host plants and nectar sources for Hummingbird Mint monarch butterflies. If you’re looking for woody plants to bring hummingbirds to your yard, try the pink to burgundy flowered, shrubby Desert Willow or the popular Mimosa Desert Willow and Northern Catalpa trees. Providing dependable, perennial sources of nectar for hummingbirds can help keep them coming back to your yard year after year and give you wonderful flower displays as well.

Second Chance

Using salvaged materials and savvy design ideas, musician Melody Brown and husband Casey renovate a century-old duplex in Salt Lake City. BY VAL RASMUSSEN

fter four years of cramped New York City living followed by a ten-year worldwide music tour, Juilliard-trained classical pianist Melody Brown—along with her husband Casey—completed a new composition: a historic home renovation in Salt Lake. Many first-time homebuyers might run from a dilapidated 3,200-square-foot 1906 duplex, but not Melody and Casey. The couple looked past the home’s lead-based paint, cramped layout and questionable foundation and saw mature trees and a convenient downtown location. Plus “it had clean, simple exterior lines,” Melody says of the Victorian-era, commercial-style building. “With good lines, we could achieve a loft feel that’s modern and industrial.” And they could create it themselves. “We spoke with several contractors, yet none were interested in using reclaimed materials and didn’t understand our aesthetic,” Melody says. “So we decided to do it ourselves.” While

U TA H S T Y L E A N D D E S I G N . C O M

juggling the schedules of Melody’s tour dates as one-fifth of the sibling piano quintet The 5 Browns and Casey’s development and construction career, the duo spent two years renovating both sides of the duplex. They dug out a basement, added a rear addition, removed walls, stripped horsehair plaster and sanded down seven layers of old lead-based floor paints. “We had grand ideas, but once we spent most of our time and budget on a new foundation, we had to rethink how to achieve a modern, expensive look with a tight budget,” Melody explains. The couple shopped local. They browsed boutiques and online resale outlets. Local steel vendors and salvage shops began to know them by name. And at the end of the process, Melody and Casey had the salvage-savvy, contemporary loft they dreamed of as well as words of advice for others who may be tackling a similar redo of their own.

1. REUSE

“Here there was dirt covering about 700 bricks that we dug out,” says Melody, who relaxes with Casey and dog Morty on the new front patio. “When we laid out the patio, we were about 150 bricks short.” They turned to George’s Architectural Salvage in SLC for help. “When we showed George the bricks we needed to match, he immediately said, ‘Yeah, I have those in back.’” George also traded Melody and Casey’s old front door for a new one. Casey designed front canopies using reclaimed steel salvaged from local mills, and the newly painted brick house now features double-pane windows the couple acquired at a local fundraiser.

2. RECONFIGURE Melody and Casey expanded the kitchen by removing a main wall. Now, gleaming surfaces like a fridge covered in Plexiglas (which cost only $60) and stainless steel cupboards reflect natural light through the galley layout. “We first considered using all white cabinets,” says Melody of the sleek-lined Ikea cabinets, “but decided stainless steel ones on the bottom would look more cohesive next to the stainless washer and range.”

Before

3. RECYCLE The duo reused the wood from 30 bowling alleys available from an Ogden teardown for kitchen countertops and stairs.

4. REFINE After removing a lowered ceiling and exposing clerestory windows, Casey and Melody kept the windows minimal, devoid of casing and muntins typically found in turn-of-the-century residences. Ikea pendants and a stair railing made with pipe and cable introduce an industrial edge, while Melody’s grandmother’s mirror, sister-in-law’s hand-me-down table, and pre-owned retro dining chairs define and refine a vintage-meets-minimal look.

5. REPURPOSE Old junior high school bleachers provided flooring for the master bedroom. “We had to sand out graffiti names and remove chewed gum,” Melody says of the local online purchase. Family heirlooms—like this hutch used as a headboard—anchor the simple addition.

By digging out a basement, the couple created space for a laundry room nook, lounge area, bathroom and guest room. A window well large enough to allow the duo to move Melody’s piano inside delivers sunlight to the guest quarters. Meanwhile, a DIY wall mural adds a punch of color. “We spent my birthday water-coloring sheets of 8 ½” by 11” paper,” Melody explains. “We chose the one we liked best and had it blown up.”

7. REVAMP ”The bathroom was the only room in the house that didn’t have natural light,” says Melody. By removing an existing pantry, the couple increased the square footage of the space. Next, they positioned a clerestory window in an interior wall to reflect light from the dining room into the bathroom. “That one window changed everything.” New plumbing, paint, fixtures and tile shaped the bright and modern design.

8. RELOCATE To provide adequate space for the main-floor kitchen and dining area, the couple located the lounge area downstairs. There, a board-formed concrete wall backs an entertainment center. Melody adds, “We used commercial carpeting here because it cost less than residential carpet and the low pile feels modern.”

9. REFRESH “Because it’s such a small space, we wanted it to be an extension of the house’s style,” Melody says of the backyard. “Sod didn’t make sense here.” After researching modern gardens, they excavated and leveled the yard, then added concrete squares, gravel and ground cover purchased from local grower Butterfield Gardens.

owering stained glass windows and an ornate dome are historic touchstones to the history of the B’Nai Israel Temple, which now functions as Henriksen/Butler Design Group’s Salt Lake headquarters. Tucked back from the street in downtown Salt Lake City, the temple was built in 1890. It first served as home to the state’s oldest Jewish congregation and, later, to clusters of the city’s homeless who set up camp inside its walls. “According to the history, there were homeless people living here, but they never destroyed the windows,” says David Colling, CEO of Henriksen/Butler. “They started a fire once, but for some reason they had some reverence for the windows.” Philip Meyer, a German architect whose family were retailers in Salt Lake, traveled to Utah and modeled the building after Berlin’s Fasanenstrasse synagogue. The Berlin synagogue was first devastated by Nazis during the infamous 1938 Kristallnacht pogrom and later flattened during Allied bombings. Meyer died in a concentration camp, according to Andrea Barlow, vice president of marketing for Henriksen/Butler. “I think about him and the gift he left us in Salt Lake often,” she says. “We’re so far across the world and it’s a different time now, but it’s still just such a gift.” SPRING 2016

Glass partitions foster light-filled, open interiors while helping shape private workspaces.

The Jewish congregation moved its synagogue into a bigger space in the early 1970s, and the old building was put on the real estate market. But it struggled to find a new identity. “It became a couple of restaurants that both failed. The second one was a Mexican restaurant that blacked out the stained glass windows, had a fake tile roof and a fountain in the center of the room,” laughs Colling. “Who has that kind of vision?” When Henriksen/Butler’s founders came across the once-again abandoned building in 1987, they had a different kind of vision. It took about a year of renovation before they moved their business

operations into the space. But the work wasn’t completed. “As we progressed through the ‘90s I realized we did a pretty good job renovating the first time,” says Colling, a 24-year veteran of the company “but I felt like it needed a massive renovation.” The resulting work was not without its troubles. Case in point, contractors discovered that the molding that holds the front stained glass window was inadequate and a big wind storm could send the entire 20-foot window shattering down. The window had to be removed and its framing rebuilt at a substantial cost. But it was a small price to preserve what Colling

and the firm see as the soul of the building. “We did—and we do—have ultimate respect for the windows,” he says. “When we do design work, we purposefully think about the fabrics and materials that would go up near the windows. Always respect the windows. We never want to distract from the beauty of the windows.” The renovations continue. “In our business we have to stay current—like the way that a Chevy dealer has to have the new model on the floor,” Colling explains. So last fall the design team put the space through what Colling calls a “major refresh.” The team added meeting space, but not your father’s conference rooms. Instead, the company converted areas from conference rooms into cozy spaces with comfortable sofas, throw pillows, smart boards and other creative tools. “The juxtaposition of the historic 125-year-old synagogue against this contemporary interior is a fun thing for us,” he says. All of it occurred with a focus on—almost a reverence for—the integrity of the historic building. “A lot of us get used to it and take it for granted,” Colling says with a sly smile, “but I still think you come in and think to yourself, ‘I work in a pretty cool place.’ ”

David Colling says we are in the middle of a workspace revolution. Five years ago telecommuting was the buzzword. Working from home seemed like the ideal situation for both employers and employees. But Colling says that employers have moved away from that early digital thinking to a knowledge-based economy where face-toface collaboration is essential. “There’s this idea that when you bump into your colleagues, whether it’s on purpose or happenstance, you are exchanging information,” he says, “That kind of exchange and connection is becoming an important component as businesses try to grow and achieve.” How can officemates best creatively connect? By being in the same building for starters, and by tearing down the walls. “Gone are large private offices, and gone are the offices that run the perimeter and render the interior darker,” explains Colling. And those dreaded cubical walls that made working-stiff Dilbert’s world so oppressive are disappearing, too. The height of cubical walls is half what it used to be. Studies have found that the typical workspace is empty about 60 percent of the time, Colling says, so companies like Henriksen/Butler are investing in more meeting spaces. “Different kinds of spaces for different kinds of work,” he explains. And office furniture aesthetics have taken on a residential look. This change in direction began when company executives started seeing their facilities as a corporate asset. “There’s an understanding that space is a critical and strategic tool in running a business,” Colling says. “It creates a brand that they can share with their customers and suppliers, and it attracts great employees and those employees have a space that is really productive and functional.” As for Henriksen/Butler’s space, Colling says the spaces his company creates are powerful recruitment tools. “I want to hire the greatest people,” he says, “And I want those people to come into our space and say ‘This is awesome. I want to work here.’ ”

ll too often, his-and-her renovations end in a design tug of war, but for homeowners David and Rachel Chamberlain, theirs is a marriage made in design heaven. “Our strong suit is seeing eye-to-eye when it comes to design,” says portrait artist Rachel of her craftsman husband who agrees, “It’s really a collaboration of both of us.” David isn’t any average cabinet maker. He’s a master of his

trade, in demand by clients across Utah and throughout the country. His firm is a “hybrid shop,” he says. “We design small details and execute large-scale projects. This allows us to be hands-on and never too far from the craft.” So, what happens when a sought-after designer and his artist wife renovate a modestly sized kitchen to live large for their family of six? Design nirvana.

OPPOSITE: The Chamberlain’s kitchen is the hub of their Robert Fowler-designed 1956 mid-century modern home located in Salt Lake. During the renovation, the couple removed a low sub-ceiling, relocated an adjacent laundry room, and opened up two walls.

No question, this busy family had specific needs in mind for their home’s main hub. David and Rachel—who also team up for family food prep (“He bakes. I cook,” Rachel says)—started with these must-haves in mind: two dishwashers, a welldefined cooking area, and space for crowd flow. “I don’t like people in my work space,” Rachel jokes. “Like Patrick Swayze says in Dirty Dancing, ‘This is my dance space. This is your dance space.’ ” Unlike many kitchens that use a “work triangle” configuration, the Chamberlains engineered a bow-tie configuration with a “cooking triangle” (refrigerator, stove and prep space) on one side of the island and a “cleaning triangle” (two dishwashers and sink) on the other. Strategically placed, the island sits off-center in the room at an efficient arm’s reach for the chef, while the island’s “cleaning side” provides more space for crowd flow and seating. SPRING 2016

David painstakingly hand-milled the chevron-pattern riftsawn white oak floors himself. “The light color is more forgiving for a family, plus the flooring refracts light differently as you move through the room,” says David of the gleaming multitoned surface. A dazzling, cube-shaped, solid brass hood performs like jewelry and is set off by a striking, marble-like granite backsplash below. “After having marble at our last home, we’ll never use it again because it stained so easily,” Rachel says of the decision to use granite for the backsplash, range and sink countertops. “We wanted a stone that’s durable and has wow-factor.” The duo chose a thick slab of Caesarstone to top the island. The island performs as a showcase of spatial design and visual interest. Its stylishly thick countertop balances the room’s tall verticality. “If it was the same dimension as other countertops, it would feel unbalanced,” David explains. Below, a center pass-through flows light below while the bulk of the island base houses storage. Unlike trendy waterfall designs, the feature’s overhang on all sides accommodates counter seating. “Everything looks like built-in furniture,” David says. There are no upper cabinets, open shelving or wall ovens. The refrigerator and appliances hide behind symmetrical towers on both sides of the range. “I wanted the range to be a separate unit, and not on the island where kids can touch it,” he adds. What the kids can touch—color, spill, eat or dance on—are the durable kid-friendly surfaces like the light-colored floors, stain-resistant countertops and high-polish cabinets. Meanwhile, mom and dad got a space that’s as functional as it is fabulous. “It’s great to experiment in your own space,” David says. “Functionality is just as important as how it looks in a space you use everyday.” Rachel adds, “We like to call it our functional showcase.”

In Holladay, landscape pro Willie Eschenfelder transforms old farmland into an oasis of lush gardens, tranquil ponds and outdoor living spaces designed for year-round entertaining. BY BRAD MEE

s is often the way with renovations, the complete overhaul of this bucolic Holladay property evolved from a single project. In this case, it was replacing a decades-old swimming pool. The homeowner had enough of the failing feature and asked Willie Eschenfelder to design and install one befitting an old estate. As the owner of Eschenfelder Landscaping and Omega Pools and a contractor specializing in landscapes, he was the right man for the job. The new pool soon led to another project and then yet another, as Eschenfelder and his team masterfully transformed the two-and-a-half acres into a spectacular estate. “It started with the pool. Then the client requested a fire pit, which then led to the idea of a sauna building, an outdoor hot tub and a pond,” says Eschenfelder, describing the job’s natural progression. As he explains, once the desire for a sauna arose, the team decided on a Japanese-style for the building. This led to the need for a Japanese-themed garden, which in turn called for a tranquil water feature. Here, as with the rest of the redo, there was no master plan; the property’s renewal just organically developed. “We were blessed with so much land, so we just let it evolve,” Eschenfelder says. Today, the spectacular estate includes a remodeled main house, a revived barn, a guest house, a new sauna building, a striking swimming pool, numerous water features, countless wandering paths, bridges, gardens and a pasture abloom

A zig-zag bridge crosses over a stream and leads to a Japanese-themed sauna building the owners visit every day. Eschenfelder consulted with garden designer Dean Anesi while creating the surrounding gardens.

Eschenfelder replanted an open field visible from the street with “lots and lots” of poppies after he had used it as a staging area for the massive project. The existing barn—once red and timeworn—was refreshed and repainted and now serves as the owner’s library. New solar panels top the roof.

with red poppies. For Eschenfelder, who grew up nearby, it was important to retain the original charm of the woodsy farmland, while adding style and elements that reflect his client’s taste and accommodate her love of entertaining. At the estate’s entry, a new, massive freeform stone wall and spectacular cast-aluminum gates resembling framed branches provide a hint of the captivating landscape that waits beyond. Eschenfelder used more than 100 tons of rock to create the wall, inspired in part by Salt Lake City’s sculptural Gilgal Gardens and the homeowner’s desire for whimsy. “Rather than creating a typical masonry wall, we wanted one that appears to

rise naturally from the ground,” he says. The distinctive gates open to a drive of pavers and crushed limestone designed to resemble an informal farm road cued by the property’s original use. It winds through layered gardens and large trees before opening to the main house and its private grounds. The landscape surrounding the house presented its share of challenges. In front, weed patches, a sloped brick walkway, tired rose beds and many century-old spruce trees ravaged by bark beetles led to the front door. “It was a mess,” Eschenfelder recalls. Working with arborists, Eschenfelder saved all but one of the infested trees. “It was very important to our retaining SPRING 2016

In the Details 1 WATER

Eschenfelder used water features to create movement and peaceful sound throughout the landscape. “The water adds a sense of journey and discovery,” he explains. “Using the property’s well allowed us to add them responsibly.” He also installed a watersaving drip system to irrigate the gardens.

2 PATHS

Blonde sandstone from Park City recurs throughout and forms large scale steps and walks that suit the large scale of the site. More informal paths of crushed limestone—softened by ground cover along their edges—slow the pace as they meander through lush gardens and connect with wood bridges, water steps and patios.

3 FIRE

Eschenfelder incorporated two fire elements in the landscape. A fire pit anchors a stone patio among the hillside’s gardens, while a more traditional fireplace serves as a central piece of the pergola at the north end of the swimming pool.

4 LIGHTS

Multiple zones of premium LED lighting allow the owners to enjoy the property day into night. “The trick is to use enough lighting to be functional but not so much to be too noticeable,” Eschenfelder says. Path lighting, rail lighting, and up and down lighting magically illuminates the estate.

5 ACCENTS

The owner wanted a sense of whimsy, so Eschenfelder integrated special pieces throughout the landscape, including birdbaths, floating glass orbs and large hollowed-out stones that serve as planters.

6 GATE

Cast aluminum branches and built-in planters makes this entry gate—and the freeform walls from which it hangs—appear to grow from the landscape.

the original feel of the estate,” he says. He also transformed the front gardens with a large patio, stone stairs and low, freeform walls shouldering flower pots created from hollowed-out rocks that delight guests approaching the house. Behind the house, an unsightly parking area dominated views and a hodgepodge of old trees blocked enviable vistas of Mt. Olympus. The team relocated the driveway and parking area and hauled out 16 truckloads of the messy trees to open mountain scenery. “I’m a proponent of removing junk trees and replacing them with better versions,” says Eschenfelder. By moving these obstacles, he freed the center of the property for lively, significant changes. “This is where the owners live and entertain,” says Eschenfelder of the rear grounds. He and his team remodeled the house with this in mind, creating a new kitchen, master bedroom, back balcony and pergola-covered patio to provide a visual and emotional connection to the gardens. “People

don’t give enough thought about how their homes interact with their landscapes,” he says. His holistic design seamlessly links the main house, pool and out buildings to the spectacular landscape. So too does a central hillside garden where he layered lush plantings, water features, paths and patios to create an experiential Eden. The owners wander the gardens along entwining paths and up stone steps. They stroll past ponds and trickling streams bordering patios that overlook fish-filled pools. And they gather with friends around a blazing fire pit and leisurely perch on low stone walls. “That these clients use every bit of this place every day has been the most rewarding part of the project,” Eschenfelder says. With the pool complete, the gardens flourishing and the landscape catering to their passion for entertaining, the owners now relish staycations, he explains. And why not? When paradise exists in your own backyard, there’s little reason to go elsewhere to find it. SPRING 2016

“A

successful project is one that helps clients both realize their vision and expand it to see new possibilities,” says Warren Lloyd, principal at Lloyd Architects and Salt Lake native. “People often comment that our projects don’t look the same,” says Lloyd. “We focus on building from here.

Each project begins with a set of unique characteristics: our clients’ desires, site location, neighboring structures, the landscape and how to orient the building to take the best advantage of climate and views. With this information, we create personalized, authentic spaces for our clients, whether it’s a new home on the top of a mountain or one settled within a historic neighborhood. We seek an architectural simplicity that realizes that vision in the clearest way possible.” Lloyd Architects recently received an AIA Utah Honor Award for the design of Publik, a local coffee roasting company. For the past two years, the firm has won Best of Houzz for both design and service, and over the past decade has received numerous awards

for sustainable design and historic preservation from Utah Heritage Foundation and other organizations. “Our talented architectural staff hails from all over the country, and they bring a diverse, creative background from top architecture schools in the West. They are absolutely committed to design excellence and are passionate about the power of architecture to make our neighborhoods better places to live,” says Lloyd. “The topography of the Western landscape and emerging urbanism of the Wasatch Front are two good reasons why we build from here.”

In his newly remodeled Salt Lake City home, Billy Stern creates a sleek, light-filled interior shot through with witty details and modern style. BY BRAD MEE

hen Billy Stern first saw the home he would later call his own— perched on a hillside overlooking Salt Lake City—he was captivated by the vistas and the interior’s impressive volume. “It was this crazy structure with spectacular views and an amazing parcel of land surrounded by open space,” he recalls. At more than 12,000 square feet, it was a far cry from the pied-àterre Stern was seeking during his search for a city-center dwelling. The story began seven years ago when Stern left New York City for Utah. He had resigned as general counsel for Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia for the position of chief legal officer for Ancestry, headquartered in Provo. Stern relocated to Park City rather than Utah County. “When you leave New York City, you don’t head to the suburbs. You go to a resort town,” he says with a laugh. Stern moved to Old Town, where he relished world-famous skiing and life along Main Street. Then, during the height of the real estate bust, he purchased an ultra-contemporary home in the ski town’s posh Promontory community. “The house was so modern and clean with spectacular architecture and views,” Stern says. “It was a cool, happy structure.” But because most of his social life was in Salt Lake, he began searching for a

little place in the city to complement his primary mountain residence. That was when he unexpectedly discovered a very large house with, as Stern tells it, even larger potential. Where many possible buyers saw only challenges, Stern recognized opportunities. “The house had way too much space and was too ugly, but as a result, it was a white elephant that nobody knew how to handle,” he says. While Stern admits that he didn’t exactly know what he was going to do with the dwelling, he knew that once he removed some walls and all the seafoam green moiré, he would have a blank canvas to “play with.” The home’s impressive concrete and steel construction also prompted his decision to take on the project. “The house is built like an office building, so I knew that structurally all of the wacky little rooms could easily be removed,” he explains. Stern collaborated with a number of pros including David and Rachel Chamberlain, of Chamberlain Cabinetry, and interior designers Andrea Beecher and Matthew Hartzog to transform the outdated house. He began by divesting the house of its late-’70s décor—out with the wall-to-wall carpeting, the green silk, the curly-cue railings and the stained-wood moldings. On the main level, he removed senseless walls and reconfigured parts of the floor plan to open spaces and enlarge rooms. “The volume was already there, but there were some walls where there clearly shouldn’t have been,” he explains. “They broke up views and ruined the flow.” Stern transformed the dark stairwell and outdated staircase by removing drywall to expose concrete walls and steel beams, creating spectacular custom railing and adding wood treads that match gleaming, quartersawn white

oak floors that he added throughout. He also replaced all of the old windows with new, energy-efficient versions. “I like the cleanliness of a modern aesthetic, so I incorporated the glass, concrete and wood that I liked so much in my Promontory house,” he says. “This one is not as interesting space-wise, but I tried to make it open and happy.” Indeed, as one moves throughout the home, the décor fluctuates between upbeat and outright playful. Just inside the front door, two enormous flag-patterned flat weave rugs infuse the entry with exuberant color. To the right, a shimmering gold chandelier gleams above a red lacquered table, anchoring a dining room painted deep blue. “Saturated colors are fabulous for high-drama rooms,” Stern says. Color frolics throughout in doses large and small, but most spaces are decidedly white. “You can’t do 14 rooms in vivid color. It gets old,” he explains. And while Stern thoughtfully doled out color, he let loose with details and design, ranging from chic to cheeky.

Stern updated the indoor pool area and moved original chandeliers from the main level to hang over the water. “It’s high-drama and kind of funny,” he says with a laugh.

Hair-on-hide rugs, bold accent colors and modern furnishing give the living room a lively, hip vibe.

Sternâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s penchant for high-drama permeates the dining room, where blue walls stand in stark contrast to the homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mostly white interior.

The sleek kitchen, with stunning white cabinetry and a shining brass range hood all masterfully crafted by David Chamberlain, is awash in bright, heavenly light that flows throughout the swank interior. So, too, do devilish details and over-the-top treatments that reflect Stern’s roguish side. In the new glass elevator, for example, a lighted disco ball sparkles at the top of a shaft equipped with surround sound. “What’s an elevator without music?” Stern jests. Old crystal chandeliers that originally adorned the home’s entry and dining room now hang above the indoor pool filled with inflatable duck and swan chairs. And the decadent décor of the powder room (Stern impishly air-quotes “powder”) boasts dark walls, mirrored tiles and photos of Divine and Grace Jones nearby. It’s a tongue-in-cheek nod to the homeowner’s memories of the notorious Studio 54 nightclub during its ‘70s heyday. It’s those kind of touches that delight the homeowner. “I like a space that makes you smile,” he explains. And if there’s a single take-away from this remodel project, that’s it: make it happy. “People take their homes too seriously,” says Stern. “A home should be fun.”

“W

hen my husband Donnie and I got married, we wanted to fix up an old home,” says Kyong Millar, owner of the high-end clothing boutique Koo De Ker in Salt Lake City. “So we spent countless nights driving around the charming Harvard/Yale area.” After nine months, the couple gave up looking. That is, until Donnie found something online. They drove by it that night, and Donnie put an offer on it the next day.

U TA H S T Y L E A N D D E S I G N . C O M

With daylight came misgivings. “After the first walk-through, I cried for a week because I thought we’d made a huge mistake,” Kyong recalls. The house had been a rental for several years and was in terrible condition. “We didn’t even have overhead lights on the main floor, so we bought a lot of lamps and plugged them in.” But initial bids on the work seemed affordable so the couple forged ahead.

“Kyong travels to New York frequently and likes its historic-meets-modern style. We blended high-end fabrics with rich herringbone floors and casual details to create a fresh, creative and eclectic home,” says interior designer Marianne Brown.

Although Donnie and Kyong initially wanted to do the remodel themselves, they quickly changed their minds after attempting to demolish the basement. They sought bids for the home’s redo. “We discovered that the bids we got before we signed papers were about half of what the real price would be,” she says. “They were astronomical. It’s like we bought a house and then built a house inside of it.”

U TA H S T Y L E A N D D E S I G N . C O M

It took the couple four years to save enough money. “I’m glad I lived in the house so long before we changed it,” Kyong says. “What we thought we wanted to do and what we actually did were very different. I got used to the street, the noises, the light—and those elements informed what we did.” Once they were ready to start, they hired interior designer Marianne Brown, principal of White + Gold Design. “Kyong has great

taste and had definite ideas about what she wanted,” says Brown. The team began by reconfiguring the main level. Because the home had been a rental, it had two entrances for the top floor and the bottom floor—in both the front and the back. “Some previous owners had slapped things together so we had to take it all down and start over,” says Kyong. They ripped out the wall that closed off the front entry to create an inviting entry vestibule. Then, they tore out the back staircase for the basement apartment and the adjoining kitchen nook and used the space to extend the kitchen. Next, the couple eliminated the wall separating the kitchen and living room to create one large, open area. The main floor originally had two bedrooms and one bathroom, but it was an awkward layout. “People had to go through the bedroom to get to the bathroom and the only access to the bedroom was through the dining room,” Kyong explains. She and Donnie tore out one of the bedrooms to make room for a more user-friendly hallway and a small powder room for guests. Then they tackled the basement. “The ceiling was low and uneven,” says Kyong. “In some places, we dug out four inches of cement and in others, ten.” They gutted the entire lower level and added two bedrooms, one bathroom, an office and laundry room. Large window wells provide natural light to the spaces. Because most of the home’s windows had to be torn down or covered up and the back door was moved and elevated, the Millars salvaged the original bricks, replaced them, and then remortared them to create a cohesive appearance on the exterior. Even the yard had to be completely re-done. “The day we moved in, Donnie tore out the front yard,” Kyong says. “Over time we’ve planted 23 trees, roses and peony bushes in the garden.” They also poured a new driveway and added a garage. The wait and the work paid off in spades. “I wanted something livable, modern and comfortable,” she says. “And I wanted to pay homage to the elegant architecture. Every house has its own voice and I wanted to bring it back to its former glory.” In just five months, they transformed a rundown rental into a charming, modern 2,200-square-foot home with three bedrooms and three bathrooms—and a dash of shimmering drama. “I prefer smaller homes,” says Kyong. “This is like a little jewel box.”

Russell, colorfully describing the overhaul of this contemporary home overlooking Park City. As the principal of In Studio Design, Russell was initially hired only to furnish the house, but as work progressed, so too did the project’s scope. “As we got into it, my clients realized how much they like the house and added to their wish list,” Russell explains. The designer has handled many large Park City renovations and knew this project was unique. “Many houses are architecturally needy and have dysfunctional layouts, but this home had magnificent architecture, a great floor plan and good design quality, so it was much easier to alter and update.” The house, featured before in Utah Style & Design magazine’s 2004 issue, is indeed magnificent. Designed by architect Charles Cunniffe, owner of Colorado’s Charles Cunniffe Architects, the structure is a livable sculpture made of steel, wood and Utah sandstone. The exterior’s cantilevered, barrel-vaulted roof establishes a curvilinear theme that defines much of the interior, where curved walls, rounded surfaces and serpentine motifs flow SPRING 2016

throughout. “I believe the outside of a home should give some indication to what’s going on inside,” Cunniffe says. And while the new owners loved the structure, they wanted to change the décor and a number of interior features to reflect their own style. “We focused on simplifying the design,” Russell says. To accomplish this, she chose a calm palette of neutral, earthy tones that complements existing surfaces like the stained concrete floors, granite fireplace stone and wood ceilings. It also replaced jewel tones of magenta, plum and turquoise that animated plastered accent walls and details. The neutral colors help prevent a dated, locked-in décor, the designer explains. She also reduced the number of wood species featured in the home

and eliminated their overly decorative inlays and designs. “The decorative designs were beautifully executed, but they created visual clutter—as did the numerous types of woods,” the designer explains. “A simpler treatment calms a room and makes it appear more spacious.” In the kitchen, for example, Russell resurfaced the multihued maple cabinets with the less busy look of horizontally grained rift walnut. “The simpler and cleaner you make major elements, the more you can add accents,” Russell explains. She clad the worn kitchen floors in wood-textured porcelain planks and resurfaced the room’s glossy granite perimeter countertops with an updated leather finish. Russell also replaced a “George

Meanwhile, the designer added shots of orange and brown to a top-floor loft space located off the upstairs landing. The bold colors were inspired by a Paul Seide neon art piece installed by the home’s previous owners. In the lower level, a bunkroom boasts more whimsical and industrial design treatments where pops of red and ebony animate the décor. And linking them together is a seamless, simple flow of natural tones and materials. “Continuity makes a home more comfortable and coherent,” Russell explains. Built-in storage that the designer generously incorporated throughout—including open shelves, storage-rich vanities, drawer-equipped bunks and cabinet-based windows seats—adds to the comfort and livability of the space. From room to room, the home provides ample proof of Russell’s ability to make simplifying a busy décor appear, well, simple. It’s not an easy task, she explains. “Simplifying can be hard to do, because you think you always have to do more.” Fortunately for the homeowners, she knows when enough is enough. Today, her clients enjoy a refreshed decor that, while far from bare-bones minimal, boasts a natural palette and uncluttered style that helped transform the home they now love.

DINING I N & O U T

Finessing Your Pho With a few shortcuts, you can serve a steaming bowl of flavorful pho in a very short time. BY MARY BROWN MALOUF

Classic Vietnamese soup suits the mercurial mood of springtimeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the cozy comfort of hot broth stands up to the chilly winds of March, but the bright spice and bite of raw herbs and vegetables satisfy the craving for fresh greens following a winter diet of heavy stews and roasts.

DINING I N & O U T

Fast Pho Broth

Ingredients

Like so many Vietnamese dishes, pho’s regional flavors are refined by French polish. This southeast Asia staple gained a huge following as soon as it was introduced to the U.S. during the conflict in Vietnam, and an influx of refugees has made pho a restaurant mainstay. Traditionally, pho is based on a broth made of long-simmered roasted beef bones, oxtails, browned onion and spices, or a lighter broth made with chicken bones. While it’s true that nothing beats a homemade stock, you can make delicious pho by using a good-quality prepared unsalted stock and infusing it with aromatics then simmering it for 15 or 20 minutes.

1 star anise 1/2-inch piece of cinnamon stick 6 whole cloves 4 slices fresh ginger 4 garlic cloves 1 onion, cut into chunks 1 Tbsp. sugar ¼ tsp. black pepper 2 Tbsp. fish sauce 4 cans beef or chicken stock

Instructions Preheat your broiler or preheat your oven to 450 degrees. On a foil-lined sheet, cook the garlic, ginger, onion and spices until charred. Put in a pot with all the other ingredients. Cover and let simmer 15-20 minutes. Strain twice—ideal pho broth is crystal clear. Add the fish sauce. You can let it cool until later use, or put it back in the pot to stay hot while you prep the rest of the pho.

A CUT ABOVE Slicing meat thin requires the right tool. These Japanese knives make the cut.

Pho Salad Garnish

Use all or a combination of any of these fresh items. Arrange them on a platter and allow guests to customize their pho.

PHO FUN IN 4 SIMPLE STEPS

Serve pho from one large tureen or in individual bowls. Either way, it’s easy to make the soup a ceremony. 1. Prepare 6–8 oz. of thinly sliced beef—flank steak works well. Place it in the tureen or divide it among the individual bowls. The hot stock cooks the beef.

8 sprigs of Thai basil

4 sprigs fresh mint

10 branches of cilantro

2. Have the salad garnish washed and ready (see garnish options to the left). 3. Boil 6 ounces of spaghetti or linguine-shaped rice noodles until tender. Drain.

1 cup of bean sprouts

112

2 serrano or jalapeno peppers, sliced thinly

U TA H S T Y L E A N D D E S I G N . C O M

1 lime, cut into wedges

1 bunch sliced scallions

4. Place the meat in the bowl(s), pour the boiling broth over it, then add the noodles. Top with the salad ingredients or invite guests to add their own.

GET YOUR PHO FIX Local restaurants serve this tasty Vietnamese dish with mouthwatering results.

Pho by Pleiku

HAVE IT YOUR WAY Pleiku’s pho is traditional—it’s made from restaurant owner David Tran’s mother’s recipe she brought with her from Vietnam—both vegetarian and beef-based broths are brewed for 36 hours with fresh ginger, onion and star anise. But as Tran learned from his past Asian tapas restaurant, Pipa, not every diner wants to commit to the traditional bathtub-sized serving of pho. To suit Western dining preferences, he

added cup-sized servings of the steaming soup to his menu, so diners can start their meal with pho, then move on to other dishes. In fact, the “fusion” here is more an East-meets-West mix of restaurant philosophies than cuisines. The décor is L.A. Minimalist, the menu is edited and personalized and the rhythm of dining here is more like a Western bistro than a funky pho shop. 264 Main Street, SLC, 801-359-4544

THE ART OF EATING PHO

PHO PROTEINS

All those noodles. All that broth. What’s a Utahn to do? Eating pho calls for a different etiquette from our European knife-andfork tradition.

Options that go beyond beef • Shrimp, peeled and deveined • Chicken breast, cut into thin strips • Tofu, cubed • Meatballs, about oneinch in diameter PHOTOS BY ADAM FINKLE

• Scallops, thinly sliced Tip: To make slicing easier and slices thinner, partially freeze meat (20–30 minutes) before slicing.

David Tran

Set each guest’s place with chopsticks and a soup spoon. You can find traditional pho spoons at Pier1, Crate & Barrel or a local Asian market. Use one hand for chopsticks, the other for the soup spoon. Take a sip of broth first. It’s okay to put your face close to the bowl—you want to get a real whiff of all the aromatics. Use the chopsticks for the noodles and when they’re gone, pick up the bowl and slurp right out of it. This is not considered poor form.

LA-CAI NOODLE HOUSE It’s a long-time go-to for local pho lovers, though some say the soup here is slightly Americanized. However, that means they do serve a vegan version. 961 S. State Street, SLC, 801-322-3590 PLEIKU This downtown restaurant is more stylish than the usual soup joint, and there are lots of noodles in this pho, and a deep broth. 264 Main Street, SLC, 801-359-4544 OH MAI Famous first for everyone’s favorite banh mi, Oh Mai’s pho runs a close second in the hearts of customers at this little walk-in spot. 6093 S. Highland Dr., Holladay, 3425 State St., SLC 801-467-6882 PHO TAY HO Twenty different variations of pho—you choose from four bowl sizes and choose your cut of meat. Finish with Vietnamese pudding—red mung beans, jello, etc. 1766 Main Street, SLC, 801-466-3650 WORLD FAMOUS PHO A cheeky restaurant (“What the pho?”) serving a wide selection of pho from chicken to brisket to tofu.
