EDITOR’S NOTE

Making Magic Last weekend, our neighbors threw a backyard fiesta featuring a taco station, hand-crafted margaritas and a professional magician. His act included the expected decks of cards, disappearing coins and seemingly inescapable handcuffs. Fortunately, the stage was too small for cutting a woman in half. The performer ended the evening by pulling a rabbit out of thin air and was generously rewarded with tequila-fueled applause. The guy was impressive, but the way I see it, he didn’t have anything on the magic-making design we feature in the following pages. Consider the A-list team that helped Alex and Sarah Lowe transform the livability of their historic Tudor by conjuring a strikingly modern addition attached to the back of the century-old brick house. “The juxtaposition is magical,” Sarah exclaims. Similar sorcery renewed Jason and Scott Singer’s cramped Sugarhouse bungalow, where a reconfigured floor plan and raised ceilings made a spacious, light-filled interior wondrously appear. In Holladay, a

nifty bit of sleight of hand turned a portion of Kim and Jay Heglar’s front yard into a private oasis that winds around to the back of their newly remodeled home. In Olympus Cove, designer Cara Fox harnessed the power of scale and timeless style to recast Luke and Holley Burbank’s oversized rooms into cozy and comfortable gathering spaces. And high above the Capitol building in Salt Lake City, modern forms and some architectural trickery enabled Bob and Char Roetzel’s new hillside home to capture breathtaking views from nearly every vantage point. Wand-waving wizardry fills this issue, front to back. Certainly, you don’t have to be a magician to transform a home or garden from tired to inspired, but as our featured design pros and projects prove, a few tricks of the trade can help.

While the clay dries, she lovingly creates the designs and then applies the underglaze. Muhlestein set up a studio space and began creating pottery in spring 2022, and now she sells her Wild Joy Pottery pieces at local markets including Utah Art Market, JKR gallery, Salt & Honey Market and on wildjoypottery.com. — Christie Porter

SHOP TALK

HAUTE HOUSE

YOU’D EXPECT a home-and-gift shop named Swoon would make you feel a little light-headed, and you’d be right. Located along the main drive in the sleepy town of Santa Clara, the new boutique is a decor-lover’s dream. The name came easily to designer April Hickman, who opened the shop this spring. “Swoon means strongly affected by your feelings or something that you admire very much,” she says. “That’s how I’ve always felt about interior design.” Swoon lives inside a 1936 brick bungalow that Hickman and her husband Brian recently purchased and reimagined into the stylish shop and studio for April Hickman Design. Without question, Swoon is a surprising and welcome addition to the quiet community neighboring St. George, Kayenta and Ivins in Southwest Utah. Hickman explains, “The aesthetic is traditional, but with a definite edge.” A swanky vibe takes hold the moment visitors step inside the bungalow’s entry, where a dazzling chandelier and a dark mural wallpaper deliver drama from the get-go. The Hickmans retained the house’s original floor plan, fostering a comfy, at-home charm. Bright natural light fills the parlor and original bedroom spaces, while a checkered floor and original architectural features delight the renewed kitchen. Throughout, an intriguing mix of classic and contemporary furnishings, art, accessories and home-related gifts offer visitors plenty to elevate the style and livability of their own spaces. “Your home should inspire you,” Hickman insists. Her new shop promises to do the same.

CHECK IT OUT Swoon is located at 3086 Santa Clara Drive in Santa Clara, Utah. For more information, call (435) 627-3811 or visit @swoonshoppe

IN GOOD TASTE

POP IN FLAVOR Sure, you can use ice to chill your drink, but dropping in an ice pop is the season’s coolest way to add flavor and fun DURING THE DOG DAYS of summer, nothing is easier and more fun than chilling and flavoring your favorite drink with a tasty ice pop, homemade or storebought. The combinations are endless— here are a few pairings to get you started.

Moscow Mule + Lime Pop Cold Coffee + Fudge pop Margarita + Citrus Pop Piña Colada + Coconut Pop Prosecco + Berry Pop Bourbon + Vanilla Cream Pop Rosé + Melon Pop

Frozen Sensations KALLI LEBARON, the young owner of Joy Pops, has mastered the art of chilling—with flavor-packed paletas, that is. These aren’t any watereddown, sweetener-loaded iced pops. “Mexican paletas are made with a whole fruit base, all real fruit and water. The cream-based ones are made with thick cream, milk and natural sugars. They’re also not churned, so we’re not incorporating air into the base,” she explains. The result is fulltilt flavor and luxurious texture frozen on a stick. LeBaron apprenticed with a pop-making pro from the Dominican Republic, tracked down a retired ice cream truck, found space in a commissary kitchen and then launched her business, Joy Pops, all while finishing high school. For the past three years, she has been selling her gourmet paletas from her Draperbased ice cream truck and popsicle carts that visit special events. LeBaron also offers private catering.

HOME GROWN In Murray, a summer party captures the splendor of a reimagined and sustainable yard BY M A RCI E YOU NG CA NCIO PHOTOS BY JACK ELI N SLACK

aryl Lindsey wants you to think about your yard differently. Totally differently. That fence-to-fence lawn in need of weekly mowing and thirsty for hundreds of dollars worth of water each month could become an outdoor kitchen, dining room or cozy reading nook surrounded by native plants, grasses and flowers. “Reimagine your yard as a floor plan, the same way you would look at a floor plan of your house,” says Lindsey, who founded sustainable landscape design company Yardfarmer.co last fall. “Think about walking out of your home into the next room— an outdoor kitchen area where you’ll use the smoker for a pizza night, and then beyond that is the patio dining area, followed by a more casual living room where you’ll lounge with a glass of wine or a spritz and talk about life with friends.” This approach shifts the mindset on a yard, allowing for it to expand the home’s square footage through an outdoor wing. For Lindsey, on a warm Sunday evening last September, her extended floor plan transformed into a garden party that celebrated not only the magic in her own Murray yard but brought together an impressive group of locals to showcase

ENTERTAINING

Beneath strings of party lights, endto-end tables are casually set to create a relaxed, gardenstyle vibe for the outdoor dinner.

an ecosystem of entertaining planned—quite literally— from the ground up. “I wanted to celebrate the backyard garden in this beautifully connected way,” says Lindsey, who worked with a team of local food and beverage professionals, farmers market vendors, musicians and artists to host a truly farm-to-table experience for an eclectic group of friends, old and new. The idea for the event sprouted when Lindsey worked in luxury hotel marketing with Kristin Ludke, a longtime catering and events manager. Together, the duo crafted a night—complete with cocktail hour, live music and a four-course meal—showcasing the most local-oflocal dining. “The chefs asked me, ‘what do you have growing right now?’ They planned the entire menu from what

42 U T A H S T Y L E A N D D E S I G N | S U M M E R 2 0 2 3

was in my garden,” Lindsey says. “So guests got to eat things that were harvested 10 feet away from them, six hours before it was plated.” Chefs Mark Felder of Red Maple Catering and Thomas Roeker took a peek at Lindsey’s garden—a half dozen or so beds full of herbs, fruits and vegetables—and developed a menu to serve alongside French wines selected by sommelier Dave Wallace and locally distilled white peach nigori from Tsuki Sake. Days before, Lindsey and Ludke walked the Salt Lake Farmers’ Market, sourcing lamb loin for the main course. There, they also met bluegrass band Mars Highway, whom they recruited to play during cocktail hour. Drinks included an all-local selection of spirits with Beehive Gin and Five Wives Vodka garnished with rosemary and lemon basil plucked just steps from the garden shed-turned-bar.

ENTERTAINING

REIMAGINE YOUR YARD

Daryl Lindsey, who formally launched her Yardfarmer.co sustainable landscape design venture in the fall of 2022, suggests the following: TIP #1: Look at your yard from the top down. Think about the ways you want to spend time outside, whether it’s playing soccer with the kids or reading a book in a shaded hammock during the summer. “Those are important things to nail down first,” Lindsey says. “Then build your layout around that.” TIP #2: Make your yard work for you. Lindsey suggests thinking about ways to reduce maintenance so being outside doesn’t feel like a chore. Converting lawn space to include eco blends or native turf, like buffalo grass, requires less mowing and watering. “You can be in your yard doing things you actually like.” While guests savored gazpacho, basil-champagne sorbet, lamb and rye risotto, and a honey buttermilk semifreddo, twinkle lights sparkled over a tablescape showcasing the work of Native Flower Company’s Pam Olsen. The arrangements overflowed with native yarrow, aster, sunflowers, silvery lupine and Indian paintbrush complemented by cosmos, coneflower, chamomile, feverfew, zinnias and statice. “It really symbolized the celebration of a sustainable garden,” Lindsey says. “Not only were the flowers I grew pretty, but they were native plants supporting the biodiversity of our urban environment by creating a space for bees, butterflies and birds. That’s kind of fabulous.”

TOP LEFT: Tsuki Sake’s locally distilled white peach nigori was among the special spirits served during the evening. LOWER LEFT: Stringed lights twinkled above the long dining table as guests partied into the late-summer evening.

TIP #3: Go beyond the aesthetics. There’s nothing quite like walking outside to clip herbs or harvest vegetables to go with dinner. “It creates this sense of your yard doing something for you that can be really fun and special.” TIP #4: Create an ecosystem that gives back. Lindsey explains that your yard can also do good for the planet. Think about what wildlife— like native bees, butterflies and birds—can get from your garden. “Pollinators are desperate for food sources, and they’ll start thriving in your yard,” she says.

old meets In Salt Lake City’s Yalecrest neighborhood, a modern addition delivers new life to a stately old Tudor BY BRAD MEE

Make no mistake, Alex and Sarah Lowe love their historic home in Salt Lake City’s Yalecrest neighborhood. “I grew up in the house two doors down and have always been crazy about old homes,” says Sarah, who waxes poetically about their Tudor-style home’s cherished features, including meandering front walkways, leaded glass windows, timeworn handrails, century-old tilework and the echo of old wood floors underfoot. The couple retained these and other beloved details when they gave the house a top-to-bottom restoration after purchasing it nine years ago. But it still lacked what the family needed to make it truly livable. “We wanted an open kitchen and a living space that connects to the backyard and the creek below,” Sarah explains. The original kitchen, like many in old homes, was cramped and tucked away in the back away from the main living areas. And the rear of the house provided little access or connection to the backyard. “It really didn’t work for the way people live today,” Sarah explains. So the couple

decided to bring the house into the 21st century—an endeavor that wasn’t without challenges. Because the Lowe’s Tudor is a contributing structure in the Yalecrest National Historic District and located more specifically within a Salt Lake City Historic Preservation Overlay Zone, it is protected from demolition, and any modifications to the house are regulated. As a result, the design of the addition would need to meet the local design guidelines related to size and scale, materials and finishes to ensure compatibility with the surrounding neighborhood. Enter architect Warren Lloyd, principal of Lloyd Architects. The Lowes began the process by hiring Lloyd because he lived in the neighborhood, had chaired the SLC Historic Landmark Commission and had completed many notable historic projects—several of which featured modern additions. “He shares our love of old homes and modern architecture,” Sarah says. The project’s dream team also included builder John Ford of J. Ford Construction, interior designer Brynne Flowers of John Martine Studio and Jessica Hintz of Dig Landscape.

“The collaborative effort of the owners and team was so impressive, and it really shows in the finished product,” Ford says. A shared vision drove the design. “Our objective was to create a more modern addition to the house that is functional and allows for an indoor-outdoor lifestyle and access to the backyard with a pool and a trail that goes to Red Butte Creek below,” says Lloyd, who brought on project architect Anna Friend. The duo understood and appreciated the restrictions and responsibilities related to protecting the 94-year-old house and its historic neighborhood. “We wanted the addition to be a product of its own time, yet reflect and respect the original house,” Lloyd says. On that note, the architects designed a strikingly modern, two-story extension that includes a great room—kitchen, casual dining and family room—on the main floor. The new structure opens to a new swimming pool and re-landscaped yard via floor-to-ceiling accordion windows. Upstairs, an open hallway, two bedrooms and a shared bathroom serve two of

the Lowes’ children. “We basically cut off the back of the house at the point of the original kitchen and added this glass-and-steel box on the rear,” Lloyd explains. To aesthetically link the modern addition to the historic house, Lloyd and Friend detailed the “glass glazed box” with fenestration and windows that relate to those of the original house. “Rather than large, single panes of glass, there are divisions in the windows systems,” he says. This scale, Friend explains, is more harmonious with the brick and diamond fenestration of the house. The addition’s flat roof similarly complements the Tudor-style home, allowing the back of the house to be seen rising above the new addition, as if crowning it with its soaring peaked roof. “We were very intent on preserving the visual connection to the Tudor house and its half-timbered gable in the back,” Lloyd says. The team also rebuilt the outdoor living area that tops the revamped detached garage, transforming the patio space into a pavilion and pool house featuring stylish outdoor living, dining and kitchen areas. To access the narrow backyard and bring in the heavy equipment and materials needed for excavation and building, Ford and site supervisor Forrest Parsons cleverly created a temporary ramp by shoring up and completely burying the detached garage in dirt. “This project was a series of ‘This is what we want to do, so how do we accomplish it?’ challenges,” Ford says.

OPPOSITE: Views of the new interior spaces, front driveway and swimming pool in the back can all be enjoyed from the reimagined pavilion located above the overhauled detached garage. Outdoor living, dining and kitchen areas are equipped with space heaters, misters, a small outdoor kitchen, a fire pit and a dining space. “Our goal was to extend the connection to the outdoors as much as possible,” Friend says. ABOVE: The team reconfigured the rear driveway area, rebuilding and enlarging the garage beneath the old house while remodeling the carriage house/detached garage below the overhauled pavilion. The space serves as an active basketball court for the family. New, wide steps lead to the backyard. LEFT: Enclosed by two-story walls of windows adjoining the old house, the addition glows like a lantern at night. “It was nice to work with a historic structure with this kind of height,” Lloyd says.

In back, the regraded site boasts a new pool bordered by a raised wood deck on one side and lawn with inset paver steps on the other, courtesy of landscape designer Hintz. “We were really inspired by the architecture and strived to complement and enforce the message with a historical/traditional landscape in front and a more contemporary/linear landscape design in back,” she says. Beyond the rectilinear pool, a path leads to Red Butte Creek and an old cabin at the bottom of the deep property. “It’s like a gradient that moves from formal to organic,” says Friend, describing the ombré-like transition from the Tudor house to its modern addition and the renewed landscape beyond. The modern addition and tree-shaded backyard inspire the structure’s inprocess interior design. “We want to expand upon the symbiotic indoor-outdoor connection,” says Flowers, who continues to work with Sarah—a fashion stylist by trade—to finish the decidedly modern decor. Building on a fearless backdrop of terrazzo floors, boldly patterned stone, streamlined cabinetry and a two-story brick wall faced with open bookshelves, they reject any need to include historic design elements. “The modern addition was intentionally meant to feel just that—a modern addition on a classic Tudor home,” Flowers says. “We want the two to complement one another, but we aren’t trying to make the addition feel as though it has always been there because it simply hasn’t.” The finished spaces will feature modern rounded silhouettes, nature-inspired textures and shots of verdant green—Sarah’s favorite color—all chosen to animate and unify the anything-buttimid decor. “Stay tuned,” Sarah says with a laugh. Today, the modern addition delivers everything the Lowes wanted, and more. “The juxtaposition is what I love most,” Sarah exclaims. “The new addition is so livable and it makes the old house shine even more.”

Landscape designer Jessica Hintz framed the new pool with thermally modified ash decking on one side and a lush lawn inset with stepping pavers on the other. The materiality loosens further back. “We changed the language at the back of the property as you enter into the wildness of the gully by switching from pre-cast concrete pavers to flagstone pavers and stone stairs,” she says.

There are those whose idea of a dream home starts and stops with the building. Kim and Jay Heglar are not among them. This garden-loving couple knew that when they decided to purchase and remodel a stately red brick house in Holladay, overhauling its lackluster landscape would naturally be part of the plan. Kim had a clear vision of what she wanted. “Flowers and color were my springboards,” says the homeowner, who adores The Butchart Gardens in British Columbia— a spot she loved visiting when the Heglars lived in Seattle. Kim knew that she wanted something similarly lush and vibrant for her young family’s new Utah home, but she didn’t know how to create it. For that, she and Jay turned to landscape architects Northland Design who worked closely with the Heglars to make their vision a reality. “They wanted to change everything except the shell of the existing swimming pool,” explains Jeremy Fillmore, principal of Northland Design. The Heglars had also signed on Alice Lane Design Interior Design to help transform the stately house, inside and out. “Classically fresh” is how designer Suzanne Hall de-

CLOCKWISE FROM FAR LEFT: Sight lines were left open to allow the owners Kim and Jay Heglar to see their young children at play in the backyard. Colorful flowers spill from new raised planters and urns that add statements of staggered heights around the pool and patio areas. Beyond the pool, a tall metal planter and curved brick wall serve as a backdrop for a custom hot tub that replaced an old octagonal version.

scribes the residence’s new style. As Alice Lane’s VP of Design, Hall and her team painted the red brick house a warm, organic white. “We knew the new landscaping and gardens would stand out beautifully against the color,” says Hall, who also introduced “classic-yet-fashionforward” details, including eye-catching pool tiles and dark-framed, light-upholstered furniture. “Their contrast adds a crisp, graphic quality and reflects the young nature of the family,” she explains. Hall added shots of blue and white with elements including garden stools and ginger jars that elevate the enchanting scene. “We love how fresh and traveled it all looks,” she adds. Fillmore—joined by team members Ryan Talbot and Brock Saucier—looked to the reimagined house for inspiration. “A landscape should follow the lead of the architecture,” he explains. To that end, Fillmore and his squad mimicked the house’s sporadic, popped-out brick pattern on new brick masonry columns and raised planters positioned throughout the new gardens. They matched these elements’ Indiana limestone caps to rectangular quoins that detail the home’s exterior corners. Northland Design also repeated limestone on the

CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT: Thickly planted ground-cover cushions a stone path leading to the dining patio. Brock Saucier custom-designed plantings for urns and brick planters to provide vibrant color and textural softness.

pool’s coping and in a classic diamond pattern on patio floors to help reinforce the updated home’s fresh, classic style. Fillmore explains, “A landscape can help architecture reach its fullest potential.” The new landscape envelops the home with lush gardens, inviting patios and open, sun-dappled lawns. A quote by renowned architect Bobby McAlpine inspires Fillmore and his team: “When our world does not look the way it should to our hearts, we need to create one that does.” To make the most of this property, Northland Design installed a curvaceous run of iron fencing and 7-foot-tall schip laurels that stretch from the front of the house to the forward corner of the property. This barrier cut away a large section of the front yard, enclosing it to become a private, park-like overture for the poolanchored oasis behind the house. “We turned our back to the street to capture a more usable backyard retreat for this family,” Fillmore explains. Guests enter near the front driveway through a custom garden gate set between brick pillars. The stylized opening performs like a portal into the Heglars’ secret garden.

A custom garden gate opens to a private lawn carved from the original front yard.

Inside the gate, a sculpture-like bench and mountain views create a ta-da moment as visitors enter the broad informally shaped lawn. “It’s a whimsical folly in the landscape that pulls you into the yard,” Fillmore explains. Here, and across the property, the design team redefined and edited thickly wooded perimeter gardens, removing failing and dilapidated trees while retaining and adding tall, healthy specimens. “These give the landscape a hug and the privacy our client was dreaming of,” says Fillmore, who also changed all forms and shapes inside of the perimeter. The large grassy area, for example, is cut in with deep, layered beds of columnar oaks, schip laurels, yews and hydrangeas to create an irregularly shaped lawn that fosters a sense of catch-and-release that paces movement across the yard. In the back, the landscape becomes decidedly resort-like with outdoor spaces that open unobstructed to each other. “The clients wanted to see easily from one end of the backyard

to the other,” Fillmore explains. The renewed swimming pool links the white-brick house with the densely planted gardens, reflecting them on its mirror-like surface. Northland Design added raised brick planters, brick pillars and curated, flowerpacked pots selected and designed by Saucier. These create a vertical rhythm of ups and downs across the open landscape. Shapes also play an important part in the design here. Talbot and Fillmore used curved lines and rounded forms to counter the rectilinearity of the pool and architecture, promoting a comforting informality. Some of the design evolved during the project’s transformation, and Fillmore is fine with that. “Often this is how great design happens—solutions reveal themselves over time,” he explains. Today, a sense of lightness and brightness permeates every corner of the lush landscape, just as the Heglars had envisioned from the start.

Ezra Lee conceived the idea of squaring the front of the hillside house with the street, while slightly pivoting the interiors and back of the home to perfectly align them with views of State and Main Streets below. A covered deck frames a view of the capitol building. Lee explains, “We wanted to activate and connect the front of the home with this killer view, pulling you in the envelope of the home from the streetside, so we delicately pulled the roof to create an impactful street presence along with a grand sense of entry.”

If ever there were a home design driven by its views, it’s the one Ezra Lee Design + Build (EZD+B) created for Bob and Char Roetzel in Salt Lake City. The boldly modern dwelling—clad in wood siding, stone tile and endless panes of glass—appears ready to take flight and soar above the city from its high, hillside setting. “The roof reaches toward the street and then subtly rises toward the panoramic view of the city,” explains EZD+B architect Doug Staker, AIA. Creating a sense of architectural drama from the get-go, Staker fashioned the front of the home with a deep-set entry that features expansive windows and a massive pivot door crafted of steel and wood. “That door is 700 pounds of art, and I absolutely love it,” Char says. Staker fashioned an asymmetric approach clad in wood siding. “A dominant folded

plane consisting of a wall and the roof frames the entry,” he explains. To the east, a spacious under-roof porch—open in front and back—perfectly captures a view of the Utah State Capitol and the city beyond. “I believe that timeless architecture comes from a wonderful marriage of materials, massing and roof lines, “ says Ezra Lee, principal of EZD+B. “This home is a perfect example of that.” A lofty entry welcomes visitors into the home, while simultaneously creating the subtle impression that they may still be outside. The exterior’s high, wood-clad ceiling flows seamlessly into the entry as does an outdoor, stonetiled wall. Only panes of glass separate inside and out. “We

wanted there to be continuity throughout the home with both interior and exterior materials,” Staker says. The wood ceiling continues into an expansive great room composed of the living, dining and kitchen areas. It is the heart of the home with south walls of glass flooding it with views and natural light. A colossal fireplace faced in bookmatched leather quartzite anchors the open space, and its two-sided design serves both the living and dining spaces located on opposite sides. Staker explains, “It creates a visual connection between these two spaces while adding warmth and ambiance to both.” And because the design is all about the views, Staker cleverly integrated sliding glass doors in the corner that all but disappear as they are pulled back to open the great room to a broad outdoor deck. “We love the cantilevered feeling of this corner and how it expands the footprint of the home when entertaining inside and out,” the architect says. And, as Bob explains, the open corner frames unobstructed views of the skyline and Capitol. On the opposite side of the great room, a show-stopping kitchen is the ultimate gathering space. Its 18-foot island boasts a leathered quartzite countertop, two-toned double waterfall edge and loads of seating and storage space. Behind it, an inset range wall is clad with metal mosaics that shimmer above a custom steel countertop. “We wanted to keep the range wall streamlined with materials that let the backsplash really pop,” says EZD+B interior designer Mallory Bouchard.

Every material featured in the great room— from its wood ceiling and gray-stained maple floors to the dark cabinetry and natural stones— was deliberately chosen to promote the contrasting tones, modern style and nature-inspired aesthetic that drives the overall experience of the home, room to room. “We wanted the house to be clean-lined but not cold,” Char says. In the primary suite, for example, an inset plane of stacked, richly stained wood details the headboard wall and continues on the ceiling to form a uniquely modern canopy. “It brings warmth and personality to the space,” Bouchard says. The adjoining bathroom boasts a back-to-back vanity with a floating mirror and a glass-walled steam shower that allow views to flood the light-filled space. A private hot tub deck extends the suite’s spa-like style and enjoyment. “It’s so convenient having the hot tub located off the bathroom,” Char says. An open staircase connects the home’s main and lower levels, while highlighting the descent— indoors and out—with large windows that overlook the terraced landscape and a koi pond fed by water that spills from a stacked water feature above. Across the back of the house, broad decks, open patios and a shimmering swimming pool expand the home’s livability and take full advantage of its hillside setting. “The floors and landscape create a series of cascading terraces as the home opens toward the views,” Staker says. The result is a home that celebrates its spectacular setting, while luxuriating in compelling architecture and inviting, modern spaces from all angles.

At first, Luke and Holley Burbank just wanted to dip their toes in the pool. When the couple moved to Salt Lake’s Olympus Cove neighborhood, they weren’t ready to dive in and build a new home for their large family. They needed to test the waters. The nomadic clan had previously lived downtown, in Sandy and twice in the Harvard-Yale area, so the Burbanks purchased a 1952 rambler-style house in “The Cove” to try the enclave on for size. If the area wasn’t a good fit, the couple would sell the property and move on. Or, if they loved the neighborhood (which they did), they’d tear the old rambler down and build new on the site. “We quickly realized that this is where we wanted to put down roots,” Luke explains. Enter Tom and Cara Fox. As principals of The Fox Group, they had designed and built a beautiful house for some friends of Luke and Holley, so when the Burbanks decided to create their own forever home in the Olympus Cove neighborhood, they turned to the Foxes. “Luke and Holley wanted a home that would be large enough to easily accommodate their family of nine, yet still be cozy and relaxing for everyday living,” Cara says. Luke says simply, “We really wanted a comfortable place where we could gather and be together.”

In response, Tom and Cara fashioned a stately, two-story brick house with breathtaking views of Mount Olympus and Neffs Canyon in back and a sweeping lawn and lovely gardens in front. “They wanted the exterior to feel classic and understated,” says Tom, so he and his team graced the architecture with harmonious symmetry and subtle, well-thought-out details. A welcoming portico boasts simply trimmed columns, while two front-facing gabled forms feature intricate-yet-restrained brickwork and window-framing pop-outs crowned with dentil molding. There are no ornate flourishes, no decorative wainscoting and no showy copper rooflines. “It’s simple and timeless,” Cara says. The same no-fuss aesthetic continues inside, where Cara

focused on filling the large spaces with comfort and character without introducing excess or pretense. “Holley wanted a cozy yet minimalist look,” she explains. To that end, Cara and Tom began by adding their signature millwork and trim details to create interest and intrigue without visual clutter. In the slightly formal entry, for example, classic raised panels add depth and pattern to the two-story walls. Tongue-and-groove planking wraps the sky-blue primary bedroom, while in the off-the-entry music room, similar planking teams with raised panels and moody dark paint to help deliver an unexpected shot of drama to the space’s walls. “They’re really a work of art,” Cara says.

To ensure comfort flows from room to room, the Foxes threaded natural materials throughout. White oak appears in planked floors, masterfully detailed ceilings, hand-crafted cabinets and select furnishings. “We chose a natural, matte finish that allows the wood’s warmth and beauty to shine,” Cara says. Natural stone recurs as well. In the kitchen, countertops and an expansive range wall boast beautifully veined Carrara marble, as do the primary and guest bathrooms. In the enormous great room, Utah Jericho limestone clads a towering, two-story fireplace that anchors the large space with its mass and unique shape. “Pulling in local materials makes a home extraordinarily special,” Cara explains.

For furnishings, Cara countered the great room’s colossal volume with a wealth of generously sized, ultra-comfy seating pieces—one of Luke’s must-haves. Extra-deep, back-to-back sofas face both the open kitchen and family room areas. A third roomy sofa and two oversized bobbin chairs face off over a six-foot-square coffee table. “We needed large furnishing to make the huge space feel cozy,” the designer says. Everyone’s go-to seat is a large, custom daybed that cozies up to the fireplace. “Holley and the kids love to pile up together on it in front of the fire,” Luke explains. Expansive windows also topped the homeowners’ want list, and Tom delivered with abundant, oversized panes throughout the house. The most memorable is inarguably a two-story wall of glass doors and windows that floods the great room with natural light and a spectacular vista of Mount Olympus. “There’s not a day that goes by when we don’t stand at the windows and admire the views,” Luke says. Today, the Burbanks are thrilled that they took the plunge and built their family’s dream home in Olympus Cove. Luke credits the Foxes for a gratifying experience and extraordinary outcome. “It was a very collaborative process, and they made it extremely easy for us,” he explains. “Tom and Cara are incredible at what they do.”

tale

In Salt Lake City’s Sugarhouse neighborhood, designers Jason and Scott Singer team with Jaffa Group to give their old bungalow a new lease on life BY BRAD MEE

The story began with a drawing on a napkin, Jason Singer explains. When he and his husband Scott purchased a small 1929 bungalow in Salt Lake City’s charming 15th & 15th neighborhood, they recognized its need for a major overhaul. That’s when architect/ builder Scott Jaffa stepped in. He had introduced the couple to the property and, after agreeing to help tackle a remodel that would transform the 2,700-square-foot house into the couple’s next home, he presented the Singers with a proposed layout casually sketched on a cocktail napkin. The project was born. “The original layout was stuck in the past,” recalls Jason, coprincipal of Honigman Design Studio along with his husband, Scott Singer. “The bedrooms were tiny and there were virtually no closets.” A jumbled floor plan, low 8-foot-high ceilings and a dark, narrow staircase were among the interior’s other shortcomings the Singers and Jaffa planned to remedy. The goal was to create a boldly modern home that exudes warmth, Jason explains. “We’re

inspired by Australian contemporary design defined by stunning spaces that are timeless, contemporary and, most importantly, homey.” Think inviting, not intimidating. Teaming with Jaffa and working closely through the entire design process with Jaffa Group’s lead interior designer Jen Harpster, the Singers took every opportunity to make their 2,700-square-foot home feel spacious and comfortable. The welcoming, modern style is evident the moment you stroll past the reimagined landscape and glimpse a new, strikingly modern front door filling the existing arched opening. “The oak-and-brass door we designed really is the perfect portal to highlight how special the interior is,” Jaffa says. Special, yes—and dramatically different from the original. “Prior to the demo, a wall completely cut off the openness of the first floor, so when you entered through the front door, the interior felt claustrophobic,” Jason explains. To set things right, the team reconfigured the floor plan to open it and vaulted the original 8-foot ceilings to rise 16 feet at their apex. “Vaulting the ceilings was a game-changer,” says Jason, crediting the idea to his husband Scott. Dark-stained birch beams accentuate the arresting lines of the soaring ceilings while adding bold contrast to the interior’s broad swathes of refreshing white. “We wanted our home to take your breath away when you step inside.” In the living room, that meant allowing the expanded volume to prevail while using the light-filled space as a backdrop for keenly edited furnishings including

The reconfigured floor plan and vaulted ceilings open the dining space to the entry, living area and new staircase. “This really took on a completely different feel with the added volume and exposed angles in the ceiling,” Jaffa says.

a sculpture-like Hyaline Chair by Fabio Lenci—a gift from Jason’s grandmother—a custom sectional and a coffee table crafted from a single slab of petrified wood. “We don’t like crowded spaces,” says Jason, coining the couple’s preferred style as Minimalist Chic. Collected minerals and travel keepsakes shimmer on lighted recessed shelves and, across the room, glass railing serves a sculpture-like staircase that connects the main and lower levels with its floating steel frame and oak treads. “We wanted this feature, in particular, to be a work of art,” Jason says. Statement-making design carries over into the dining area, where the reimagined fireplace performs as a monolith clad in Black Saddle granite. “Its towering beauty became the centerpiece of the main level,” Jason explains.

Floor-to-ceiling walnut cabinetry furnishes the handsome mudroom, where light and mountain views spill through French doors. The team transformed the original fireplace into a sculpture-like form of Black Saddle granite textured with a leather finish.

and a round top crafted from a single slab of Claro walnut hand selected by the Singers. Brass butterflies that traverse a natural crack in the walnut inspired other brass decorative details including those of the dining room’s chandelier, the kitchen’s range hood and the primary bedroom’s sconces. “We wanted our house to be timeless, so we used subtle brass details rather than larger statements like hardware and full-on fixtures,” says Jason. Instinctively, he and Scott used the subtle repetition of numerous materials and colors to unify the interior’s distilled decor. “Repetition is a thread that creates continuity,” Jason explains. Nearby, the kitchen’s curved window wall and vaulted ceiling endow the room with an intriguing shape unexpected in a small bungalow. There, streamlined walnut cabinets, an aged-brass hood and a waterfall-style island formed from richly veined quartzite further the interior’s engaging material palette. But function does not suffer for form. “As a designer and a cook, I knew the room’s utility had to be in the forefront,” Jason says. He and Scott ruled out high-maintenance marble and, instead, zeroed in on Ijen Blue quartzite the moment they saw it in the stone yard. It was the very first thing they chose for the kitchen. “We started with this statement piece and let it drive our other decisions on the kitchen’s other finishes and materials,” Harpster explains. Truth be told, the Singers have a thing for distinctive stone as further evidenced by the animated granites forming floating vanities in the chic powder room and the primary bathroom—a space carved from a previous bedroom. There, the team retained existing windows as celebrated light sources and, for privacy, inserted frosted glass in

“We kept the location of the original staircase but changed its direction,” Jaffa explains. “Now when you walk into the house, it is one of the elements that captures your attention.” Recessed floor lights illuminate it from below to accentuate its sculptural form.

panes located behind the vanity’s mirrors cleverly suspended from the ceiling. The bathroom’s boldly contrasting tones link to those in the primary bedroom, where a cashew-hued leather bed and floating walnut nightstands visually pop against a headboard wall covered in dark charcoal wallpaper made from woven sisal. “We designed the space to feel masculine, but not overtly so,” Jason says. New double doors open to an Ipe deck overlooking the revamped, water-wise landscape and freshly detailed exterior. The team paid no less attention to the lower level with its two guest suites and a cozy media room located at the bottom of the floating staircase. Nearby, a stylish home office takes the monotony out of desk work with its reimagined fireplace, floating walnut shelves and dark accent wall covered in slightly metallic cloud wallpaper panels. “We wanted to work in a space that makes us feel comfortable but also inspired,” Jason says. In fact, inspired design reigns throughout the dwelling. “So often, contemporary design invokes thoughts of sterility, and we wanted to challenge that notion,” Jason says. Gone is the choppy, cramped bungalow portrayed with a simple napkin drawing; these days the old house—freshly reimagined as a modern haven—begins a new chapter as the Singers’ new home.

GROWING awareness Want a beautiful garden that does wonderful things? Plant pollinators. BY SH ER I DEN H A NSEN

What if our landscapes could be both eye-catching and support a biodiversity of local pollinators such as bees, butterflies, beetles and more? We don’t often think about pollinators as we plant, but they should be a consideration. Intermountain West urbanization has diminished resources such as pollen and nectar, as well as habitat. These are relied upon, especially by the diverse species of native bees that are found only in the West. Following some simple guidelines can help support pollinators while creating a landscape that will be the buzz of the neighborhood.

‘BEE’ SUNNY Plants that produce blooms often need to be placed in a sunny location. Full sun equates to 6-8 hours of sunlight throughout the day. Part-sun and shade plants are available, but the resources available for pollinators are often diminished.

‘BEE’ ACCESSIBLE Choose plants that are easy for pollinators to access. Flat, daisy-like blooms support bees, butterflies, flies and beetles. Blooms that are tubular in shape, such as honeysuckle, support pollinators with long mouthparts like hummingbirds and moths. Avoid difficult-to-access plants with multiple layers of petals.

‘BEE’ LOCAL

dig in Pollinators need your help. Choose native and adapted plants they can’t resist.

ADAPTED

Incorporate native plants into the landscape when available. Native plants, such as Penstemon and Gaillardia, often support native pollinators best. See our plant list for more planting options.

‘BEE’ INVITING A shallow dish filled with river rocks and topped off with water will attract thirsty pollinators. Provide nesting sites such as areas of bare ground without mulch as well as open cavities like those of a bee hotel. Wait to cut back perennials in the spring instead of fall to help provide needed overwintering habitat.

‘BEE’ ABUNDANT Incorporate plants that bloom spring, summer and fall to provide resources year-round. Avoid planting a single plant; instead plant in groups of three to five to provide ample resources.

• Utah has roughly 1,200 species of native bees (25% of all North American species). • Pollinators can be bees, butterflies, moths, beetles, flies, wasps, hummingbirds, bats and many others. • One of every three bites of food you eat relies on pollination for production and 90% of flowers rely on pollination for reproduction.
