EDITOR’S NOTE
A
As is my habit, I’m composing this letter on the cusp of finalizing this issue, but I’m wrestling with distractions. For weeks, I’ve been poring over edited pages of summersplashed content, but now I’m losing focus as sunlight streams across my desk, and the aroma of freshly cut grass wafts through open windows. C’mon, pay attention. I only need to complete this editor’s note, but my mind keeps drifting to the season and thoughts of reimagining gardens, revitalizing patios, refreshing interiors and so much more. Summer is definitely a season for doing, not dreaming, and we created this issue to fill your head with ideas and inspiration.

No offense to chain restaurants (well, maybe a little), but when it comes to delivering stylish dining to our suburbs, they come up short. Way short. Enter Scelto, a new hot spot in the heart of Sandy. “We designed the space to be inviting and have a cool, downtown vibe that’s not found in the southeast part of the valley,” says co-founder Waleska Iglesias, who hired designers Gary Vlasik and Jamie Clyde to create the sleek and swanky decor she imagined for the Italian-inspired eatery. Modern? Yes, but defi nitely not cold. Th ink warm and welcoming—but with an edge. “We decided to do something very unexpected, something elevated but not unapproachable,” Vlasik explains. The designers set the stage with dramatic black-painted walls and wainscotting executed in dark cobalt steel: “They bring in the mood and let other elements sing,” Vlasik says. The ensemble of decorative performers includes everything from theatrical stones—terrazzo topping the bar and black marble on the reception desks—to shapely banquettes, chairs and booths costumed in velvets and a color mix of inky and French blues, terracotta and marigold. “The terrazzo inspired our color palette,” Clyde says. Screen-like slatted wood walls in ash and burnt terracotta tones carve the interior into intimate bar and dining areas, allowing the ambiance to flow from space to space. Clouds of slatted walnut adorn the ceiling, and modern light fi xtures perform like art as they illuminate the interior animated with framed ethereal art that visually pops against the dark walls. “Obviously, we love an eclectic mix,” Vlasik says with a laugh. Even a visit to the loos (teamed with a snazzy communal wash station) delivers surprising style. “Their dark colors, moody wallpaper and sparkling chandeliers cultivate an indulgent experience,” Clyde says. Scelto—meaning chosen in Italian—not only describes the restaurant’s innovative menu but also the thoughtfully orchestrated design elements that make this suburban restaurant a special experience anytime. Iglesias explains, “Scelto is a great place to celebrate any occasion.” Scelto, 849 E. 9400 South, Sandy, sceltoslc.com

As healthcare facilities become more boutique and customer-centric, so does their design. In West Valley City, Denton House Design Studio infuses Metrodora Institute with a style that’s as haute as it is healing. BY CHRISTIE PORTER

Matt Dickamore, VP of Creative for Denton House Design Studio

Call it feel-good design: There’s a rising trend in elevating the style of healthcare facilities. And for the patients walking through their doors, it’s just what the doctor ordered. Taking their cue from hospitality and residential design, these spaces are created to enhance the overall experience of healthcare and make it more engaging and patient-centered. A recently completed example of this is Metrodora Institute—a boutique wellness and medical facility located in West Valley City. The Institute cares for women with neuroimmune disorders and was designed to empower them on their healthcare journey. The namesake of Metrodora is an Ancient Greek female physician. A visitor to Metrodora Institute could be forgiven for believing they had gotten off the elevator on the wrong floor. “It doesn’t look like a medical space,” says Matt Dickamore, VP of creative at Denton House Design Studio, the design firm and architect of record for Metrodora Institute. “It gives you that sense of comfort and feeling of a spa or a hotel.” That is intentional. Metrodora physicians and founders Laura Pace and James Hemp brought on Dickamore and his team because of their spa and high-end residential design experience. With only 14 months to transform two unfinished floors (totaling 50,000
square feet) from scratch, Denton House partnered with another company, HGA, which specializes in medical spaces, and got to work. They formed two teams to work simultaneously. One team designed the clinical spaces and the other handled the public areas. “A space like this would have taken years to figure out, so I’m very proud that our team was able to get it done beautifully and quickly,” Dickamore says. Elevator doors open to what some might initially think is a chic hotel lobby. A cloud of shimmering pendant lights floats above a swanky sitting area, where shapely, velvet-covered sofas gather in front of a stone fireplace framed in Venetian plaster. A dramatic backdrop of matte-black wallpaper adorns Metrodora’s sleek reception area and, nearby, a custom acoustic ceiling installation resembling an abstract topographical map of Utah

The sculpture at the end of the hallway resembles a string of black pearls, providing contrast to the glittering chandelier above. 2. Patients’ privacy bays sit beneath diamond necklace-inspired light fi xtures and an acoustical BAFL ceiling installation by Frasch. The wall art by AVO “is a very tactile piece,” says Dickamore, with woven leather made to look like the Utah mountains mounted on a brass plaque evoking the sunset. 3. A small lobby outside of the elevators is furnished with overscaled layered art and Bernhardt Design rocking chairs.

furthers the high-style experience that flows seamlessly throughout the facility. “Visually, there’s eye candy everywhere you look,” says Dickamore. “The architecture of the space, the different wall and lighting treatments, the artwork and so much more.” The interior boasts at least 45 chandeliers and more than 350 pieces of art. “And every single one of them is different. We didn’t repeat anything,” adds Dickamore. “And some of them tell a story either about Utah or about Metrodora.” Leather wall art by AVO, for example, channels Utah’s pioneer past and natural landscape, and other treatments including rose-petal pendant light fixtures by Utahbased Hammerton and quarter-curved archways introduce a purposeful and powerful feminine aesthetic. Metrodora patients may spend hours or even days receiving care at the facility, so it was imperative to provide comfort and a lush, sensory experience to support their overall wellbeing. With all levels of patient care happening under one roof, Dickamore points to the multi-functionality of the design as the biggest trend he’s seeing in healthcare design, rather than a specific feature of the design itself. “If you look at the facility’s design, it’s not trendy,” he says. “We try not to be trendy in our design because we don’t want it to look like a space was done in a certain year. We want it to be timeless.” Denton House’s unique work on Metrodora Institute has not gone unnoticed. The design firm was a finalist in Interior Design magazine’s 2023 Best of Year healthcare category. “That was an honor in and of itself. We were the only company from Utah that was a finalist in any of the categories,” Dickamore explains. But it’s the response from Metrodora’s patients that he values most. “I love hearing the stories of people when they say, ‘I just came in, and I felt this sigh of relief…and it’s hopeful.’”
4. The design team gave as much attention to detail to private spaces as the public areas, evident by this office’s custom desk made from petrified wood slab. “The doctors wanted to make sure that their staff also felt like they were being treated well during their time at Metrodora,” says Dickamore. “There’s a window in almost every space, and the building has a 360-degree view of the Oquirrh Mountains, the Wasatch Mountains and the Salt Lake Valley. 5. A daring tracer bar rope light fixture by Luke Lamp Co. illuminates a conference room. 6. A lush, curved banquette with upholstered channels provides further comfort for patients, perfectly framing the art of familiar mountains by local artist Jenna Schmidt.

What could be more inviting than stepping into a room dressed in golden yellow, whether it be a bold statement or subtle accents? It’s like entering a ray of sunshine, enveloping you in warmth and cheer. It’s no surprise then, that these radiant hues of yellow—whether in paint, fabrics or furnishings—are elevating the style and spirit of our favorite spaces, both indoors and out. While bright citrus yellow frequently steals the spotlight with its sunny disposition and mood-lifting qualities, designers today are drawn more to the warmer tones of yellow. From soft, butter creams to luxurious honey hues, these shades exude the same upbeat energy but with a more sophisticated and timeless allure. Today’s sun-lit yellows encompass a wide range of tones. On the softer end, consider Honeybee, a new paint color described by Benjamin Moore to be as sweet as it is versatile. There’s also Limitless, Glidden Paints’ Color of the Year for 2024. Straddling pale straw and whipped butter, the near-neutral embodies the warm, creamy colors that have been cropping up across many designs of late. These include those of designer Shea McGee, who is obsessed with butter yellow. “It is such a good shade, landing somewhere between beige and yellow yellow,” she says. McGee and her design team love butter yellow’s versatility, seamlessly weaving the hue into wallpaper and paint, along with smaller accents including throw pillows, wall art and lamps. The resulting spaces are as cheerful as they are soothing. “I love how sunny and relaxed it is without going LEFT: Schumacher’s La-Jolla Indoor/Outdoor fabric pooch proofs an eye-catching side chair.

Creamy butter-yellow tones infuse a Studio McGee-designed bedroom with warmth and a timeless, at-ease charm.
full force into lemon territory,” McGee says. And for those who are timid about using color, butter and similarly mellow yellows resemble cream, making a jump from basic white to yellow a comfortable and stylish move. Of course, there are others who whole-heartedly embrace color and are always on the lookout for the next must-have hue to bring home. For many, today’s choice is a warm yellow, and top-notch paint brands offer an impressive assortment, as do luxury furniture, fabric and wallpaper makers. Schumacher, for example, recently touted Marigold among the lively, organic colors in its new Live It Up! collection of indoor/outdoor fabrics. Bluestar named Honey Yellow the color of the year for its kitchen appliances, and Th ibaut included Daisy among the “vibrant yet slightly heathered” tones enriching its Locale Collection’s textile offerings. The list goes on. Indeed, golden yellows seem to be everywhere, instantly elevating and enlivening every space they grace with their soothing warmth and energizing charm. Pale or saturated, they speak to our innate desire for comfort and connection at home. And these days, who doesn’t want that?

Garden designer Emily Brooks Wayment welcomes us into a few of her formal gardens and shares the insights and inspiration that ignited these swoon-worthy creations. BY BRAD MEE | PHOTOS BY MIKKI PLATT
Working with The Fox Group, garden designer Emily Brooks Wayment created a formal landscape that accentuates the home’s fresh, traditional style.
F
For more than two decades, Emily Brooks Wayment has been crafting lush landscapes for clients throughout Utah and beyond with a focus on formal, classic design. “I’m drawn to the past and enjoy infusing it into my work,” she explains. For this greenthumbed tastemaker, each project is a labor of love, bringing boundless joy and beauty to her residential and commercial properties alike. From lush estates in Holladay to intimate courtyards in Sugarhouse and mountainside retreats in Park City—and even portions of the prestigious grounds of Grand America Hotel in downtown Salt Lake City—Wayment’s touch of classic style and timeless design is evident. Interestingly, garden design wasn’t initially Wayment’s planned career path. After studying English and Art History at the University of Utah, she worked as a floral designer for a major event-planning firm while pursuing her Master Gardener certification from Utah State University. She then resumed her academic studies abroad. While schooling in England, she was offered the opportunity to attend a landscape design program at a small college in Oxford.
Inspired by vibrant Flemish paintings, the picturesque English countryside and classic garden style, she immersed herself in the 18-month landscape design course. This transformative experience planted the seed for the flourishing career she now enjoys. Surrounded by a recent project’s neatly trimmed hedges, espaliered pear trees and expanses of hydrangeas, Wayment reflects, “Formal gardens—particularly English gardens—hold a special place in my heart. I’m captivated by their simplicity, intricate details and calming symmetry.” She loves collaborating with passionate homeowners and skilled designers as she creates memorable, site-driven landscapes. And she has many on the drawing boards waiting to take root. Come take a stroll with us through a few of her charming gardens and cull some of Wayment’s formal garden design tips and techniques.

SYMMETRY & BALANCE Balance and symmetry are hallmarks of formal garden design. Achieving balance involves distributing visual weight evenly throughout the space, while symmetry refers to mirroring design elements on either side of a central axis. “Symmetry and balance are calming to the eye and create a sense of harmony,” says Wayment, who uses them to enhance traditional homes and architecture.
PATTERN “What’s not to love about the diamond pattern?” exclaims Wayment, gushing about one of her beloved design motifs. Formal gardens embrace structure with their clean lines, geometric shapes and classic patterns like diamonds, checkerboards and traditional knots. Wayment masterfully uses trimmed shrubs, clever combinations of lawn and pavers, and striking patio tiles to craft familiar patterns that truly elevate her designs.
FOCAL POINT “One of the most important parts of any garden is where your eye lands,” says Wayment. She carefully creates focal points to draw the eye in and anchor her designs. Head-turning water features, benches, planters, specimen plants, garden structures and sculptures are among the elements that can do the trick. “They help draw visitors in and guide their movements throughout a garden.”

STRUCTURED PLANTINGS Nailing that polished, structured look is everything. It’s all about those crisp lines and orderly beds. Creating clean edges for garden beds is key, and Wayment often relies on clipped hedges and evergreen shrubs like trusty boxwoods to establish clear defi nition. By repeating these and similar plants, she crafts a harmonious, unified appearance. “They’re the guardians,” she says, “delivering structure and guiding movement.”
TOPIARY Topiaries epitomize the precision of formal gardens, with their meticulously trimmed foliage and artful forms. Wayment favors hornbeams, boxwoods, arborvitae and linden trees for her shapely creations. She uses topiaries in an assortment of impressive roles, from framing entrances to anchoring planters and accentuating focal points. They infuse her gardens with classical elegance and the interest delivered by shapes and height changes.
RHYTHM AND REPETITION “Repetition creates a rhythm and connects you to the space,” notes Wayment. She deliberately selects a refined palette of plants, repeating them strategically to establish rhythm and balance, reinforcing the formal design. This intentional repetition at precise intervals fosters a harmonious, unified appearance while preserving the elegance and simplicity inherent in formal style gardens.

GATES With their decorative flair and eye-catching designs, gates are more than just functional transitions—they’re focal points that catch the eye. Wayment takes cues from the architecture of a home, crafting gates that harmonize with its style and selecting colors and materials that complement the overall aesthetic. “Metal structures are my favorites; they stand the test of time. But you can’t deny the timeless charm of wood, especially in English gardens,” she muses.
CALMING COLOR Formal gardens of the past embellished their evergreen shrub, hedge and tree plantings with readily available blooming plants, predominantly whites, pinks, lavenders and other subdued tones. Wayment favors these paler tones in her designs. Yellow? Maybe. Buttercream? Absolutely. “I lean towards the softer hues reminiscent of English gardens,” remarks the designer, who strategically echoes these colors throughout her designs to amplify the soothing simplicity and cohesion of the landscapes.
WATER “I love water everywhere,” Wayment declares with a laugh. Th is explains the fountains, ponds and pools she integrates throughout her formal garden designs. “Water has an amazing way of cooling things down visually, and its sound is so serene.” Plus, it draws birds and wildlife. With tiered fountains stealing the show and serene pools and ponds creating refreshing backdrops, Wayment’s gardens become inviting outdoor oases. “They help draw visitors in and guide their movements throughout a garden.”
ARCHITECTURAL TIES Wayment emphasizes the importance of aligning a garden with the house’s architecture by complementing and embracing its style, scale, massings and materials. “Th is helps to create a sense of harmony and flow between the house and its landscape,” she says. The designer also considers views from indoor spaces, making certain that garden scenes are perfected, inside and out.

PLANT PICKS
Wayment’s faves for formal gardens STRUCTURE
Boxwood is perfect for hedges. Nothing brings a sense of formality like these dense, small-leafed plants.
FILL
Limelight hydrangea is great because it doesn’t burn in the sun. I also love David Austin’s Abraham Darby shrub rose; it’s a lovely peachy pink.
COVER
Espaliered plants are beautiful screens. I particularly like Bartlett and French Anjou pears; their fall foliage and pretty fruit are amazing.
CANOPY
The Accolade Elm is a great choice. It is uncommon, it shades well, is not messy and has a good leaf structure.
COLOR
Nothing beats annuals for color. In shades of white, pink, rose or purple, firework-like Cleomes are huge and robust. In similar colors, Comphrena has pom pom-like blooms and grows well in masses.

Sunlight streams into the lounge through a large new window that fills the newly opened floor plan with natural light and lush garden views. The lounge displaced the old kitchen, and today, a new modern kitchen sits further back in the house, open to the lounge and neighboring living room area.

FRESH TAKE In Salt Lake City, a team of pros transforms a cramped 1942 cottage into an oasis of open spaces, lush gardens and fresh, contemporary style BY BRAD MEE

Courtney Little felt the squeeze. For years, she and her three children shared her 1942 cottage’s tight living quarters. And even as her kids grew older and began leaving the nest, Little felt her small house needed a big rethink. “When I bought it in 2013, it was a cute granny house with great energy,” says Little, describing the cottage located in Salt Lake City’s Harvard/Yale neighborhood. But the 3-bedroom, 3-bath home needed an update. In 2020, Little hired builder Brandon Bodell, architectural designer Brad Waltman and interior designer Dorothy Huntsman to focus on the hub of her home—a dark and dated kitchen oddly located in the front of the house. Scope creep swiftly swept in. Once the team began planning the kitchen redo, it became obvious the entire dwelling deserved a remodel. “I decided that if we were going to do this, we might as well go for it,” Little recalls.

The new landscape’s lush, layered plantings visually soften the architecture, and shapely gardens add depth and dimension to the wide, shallow property.

In the living room, outdated tile and a tired painted mantle were stripped away from the existing fireplace. Designer Dorothy Huntsman reimagined the feature with contemporary lines and a large-scale surround crafted from dark metal and tadelakt.
Inhabit Design Build’s Brad Waltman devised the home’s open fl oor plan and positioned the adjacent living and lounge areas in the front of the house. He cleverly concealed structural support within an open wall that allows light and views to fl ow freely between the two clearly defi ned spaces.
Designer Dorothy Huntsman, Dayhouse Studio, worked closely with the homeowner to transform the interior of the small 1942 house.
The owner’s “Let’s be bold” directive drove the renovation, inside and out. On the main level spanning 2,500 square feet, the home’s awkward gathering areas consisted of an existing kitchen and two oddly sized living and dining spaces. “It was like a bunch of pods,” Bodell recalls. Waltman cleverly reconfi gured the floor plan to open and combine these spaces. The front of the house received an upgrade of several large windows, fi lling the newly formed living and lounge zones with natural light and garden views.

Bodell also shifted things around in the bedrooms’ wing, carving space for a new powder room from two oversized guest closets. And while the remodel stayed within the existing envelope of the house, the team used the unfi nished basement to add two more bedrooms, a bathroom and a living area that “increased the home’s living space by more than 800 square feet,” the contractor says. With the floor plan reconfi gured, Little and her pros tackled the details and decor. The homeowner opted for an at-ease, modern style. “I wanted the house to be warm and

BEFORE welcoming where nothing is precious or off-limits,” Little says. A proponent of biophilic design that increases connectivity to the natural environment, Huntsman composed a mix of natural features and elements that unite the spaces and create a restorative environment. Customized white paints, for example, brighten the walls while light-toned oak flooring enliven the oncedim interior. Together they provide a fresh backdrop for large, nature-framing windows, shapely light fi xtures, relaxed furnishings and accents of lively color. To form the new kitchen island, Huntsman chose tadelakt, a water-repellent lime-based plaster. “Courtney initially wanted concrete, but I suggested tadelakt because it is more maintenance-friendly and has a beautiful texture,” the designer says. Working with artisan Matt Van Der Steen, Huntsman repeated the tadelakt as she fashioned new fi replace surrounds and even formed the new powder room’s vessel-like sink. The powder room—like the home’s new cedar roof, premium windows and lush landscape—was a must-have that challenged the budget. “With remodels, we call it pulling the thread on the sweater,” Bodell laughs, describing the tendency to replace or add yet another element that tugs at the project’s scope and increases the overall cost. The team countered the

What is Tadelakt? Tadelakt, an ancient lime-based plaster originating in Morocco, boasts a durable, water-repellent surface and mold-resistant qualities. Crafted from eco-friendly materials, it ages beautifully and contributes to an earthy, organic aesthetic, adding warmth and character to fixtures and design features. However, applying tadelakt is not for DIY novices. The labor-intensive install involves layers of lime plaster and marble dust, hand-burnished to a smooth finish. Its versatile nature and water-repellent properties make it ideal for areas like bathrooms and kitchens, while its subtle luster and seamless appearance also enhance fireplace surrounds, benches and more. Practical yet timeless, maintenance-friendly tadelakt embodies history and enduring appeal for contemporary and transitional decors alike.
Dorothy Huntsman and artisan Matt Van Der Steen of Art of Deception used tadelakt to frame the living room fireplace (below). They also used it to form the large kitchen island as well as to shape the powder bathroom’s unique vessel sink (right).

Landscape Designer Rob McFarland planted a hornbeam hedge to screen the outdoor living area and to connect the side yard’s new wood fence with the home. “As a living fence, the hedge doesn’t compete with the architecture,” he explains. 2. McFarland’s double pergolas help to visually delineate the large patio’s dining and lounge areas. “A breath of space” separates the two structures, adding to their compelling dimensions, he explains. 3. While purlins, or top shading beams, traditionally extend out beyond the edge of a pergola’s frame, McFarland ended those of the double pergolas to create a modernized style. He then wrapped them back in to create the structures’ custom design. “They embrace the size of the pergolas and contemporize the look,” he says. A new fence and hornbeam hedge enclose the private oasis. 4.

The transformation continued outside, where daring black paint, new windows and vertically oriented Boral TruExterior give the exterior a decidedly modern vibe. A new landscape created by designer Rob McFarland adds deep gardens and layers of lush greenery to the wide, narrow property. McFarland also introduced new fencing, screening hedges and a pair of custom pergolas that shade a freshly conceived outdoor living area located off the end of the cottage. “The house felt like it abruptly ended with a shallow side yard, but the pergolas graciously extend the line of the house and create such a great space for Courtney,” he explains. Little agrees and is delighted with the entire project, inside and out. “I love this home and am so proud of what it has become.”
The house sits on a wide and shallow corner lot. Landscape designer Rob McFarland ditched the sideyard’s attached pergola and small stamped-concrete patio as he transformed the challenging area into a private outdoor living oasis replete with low-maintenance gardens, a fire pit, fountain, hot tub and large patio shaded by double pergolas.

GREAT SCOTT In Salt Lake City, the team at Establish Design draws on a family’s Scottish heritage to create a beautiful abode inspired by traditional British style BY TESSA WOOLF PHOTOS BY LINDSAY SALAZAR STYLED BY: JESSICA HOLTAM
To transform this Millcreek home into a Scottishinspired dwelling, designers Kimberly Rasmussen and Elizabeth Wixom Johnsen started by painting the exterior with Establish Design’s Chamomile hue. They added limestone surround to the front door and painted it in French Gray by Farrow & Ball.

If the walls of this charming Millcreek abode could talk, they would undoubtedly utter the hospitable phrase, “ceud mìle fàilte,” a Gaelic greeting in Scotland that translates to “one hundred thousand welcomes.” When Kimberly Rasmussen and Elizabeth Wixom Johnsen of Establish Design were approached to work on this project, the homeowner needed help nailing down an aesthetic direction. She already had proposed plans in hand, but the trio decided to go in a different direction. During discussions
about the homeowner’s family, the designers discovered their client’s husband’s side of the family has roots in Scotland, and this Scottish heritage became the new theme and design inspiration for the home. (Coincidentally, the project also served as inspiration for the Heritage Home Collection at Establish Design’s recently opened Millcreek showroom, Establish Home). “Once the initial design aesthetic is designated—in this case, the Scottish Highlands—then everything else falls into

place,” Rasmussen explains. She and Johnsen started by assessing the home’s exterior. “We don’t just do interiors—we also look at the home’s exterior, shape, and floor plan, and we mold those to fit the style,” explains Johnsen. To imbue a sense of British heritage to the existing symmetrical structure, the duo added a parapet wall that bookends the garage, a common feature seen in UK homes. Additionally, they framed the front door with a limestone surround by Artistic Stone Masonry, painted the exterior brick and plaster elements, and added rafter tails in the fascia and soffit to create a pattern along the roofline—another nod to the British country home aesthetic. As guests cross the threshold into the home, they pass beneath a round family crest hung above the front door. To accent the narrow, two-story

Inside, despite a grand floor plan, the 7,000-square-foot home feels warm and cozy, combining the elegant style of a London flat with the charm of a Cotswolds cottage. The designers dressed the rooms with traditional but plush, comfortable furnishings, and grounded them with fumed oak floors. A palette of green, gray and creamy white sets the scene. For this project, Johnsen and Rasmussen developed a green hue reminiscent of Scotland’s lush, rolling hills that would become their firm’s own Scottish Highlands paint color. The verdant tone takes

In the light–filled living room, a large limestone fireplace mantle mimics the front door’s limestone encasement. Opposite the fireplace, a sofa perches in front of a gallery wall featuring family portraits and oil paintings depicting Scottish landscapes. The open kitchen connects to the living room, separated by a large dining table and a chaise upholstered in a plaid wool fabric that doubles as additional seating for meals. Johnsen and Rasmussen took advantage of every nook and cranny in the large kitchen, installing a handy wet bar and a casual banquette dining area that recreates the intimate feel of being inside a jolly British pub. The tufted banquette tucks beneath a Tudor arch, and a built-in china hutch is just within arm’s reach. Nearby, a butler’s pantry provides additional kitchen storage and workspace, and also serves as the back entry to the home. For this reason, Johnsen and Rasmussen designed custom lockers for the space that are decorated with a unique crest for each member of the family. It’s yet another example of the many thoughtful heritage details found throughout the dwelling. As Johnsen says, “Every home has a story, and we tell that story through our design.”

A A
An exceptional site deserves an equally extraordinary residence. This was Lorna Mildice and Andy Brown’s perspective when the couple signed on a team of pros to conceive and construct their new dwelling, overlooking the captivating Snow Canyon State Park in St. George’s Ledges Golf Community. Known for its striking red rock formations, sandstone cliffs and expansive desert vistas, the location inspired them to craft a one-of-a-kind home. “We aimed for something truly unique” elaborates Mildice, and that’s precisely what they achieved. Craving a desert sanctuary designed for both relaxed living and entertaining, the couple enlisted the expertise of architectural designer Nathan Kerr, builder Brian Geer and interior designer Liz Tate. The trio closely collaborated with their clients to create an exceptional dwelling that, as Kerr underscores, “definitely reacts to the surrounding views.” Despite its jaw-dropping landscape, the site widens at the front and tapers toward the rear—a less-than-ideal shape for optimal rear views says Kerr, project lead with McQuay Architects. Responding to the wedge-shaped property, he cleverly formed, organized and pivoted the home’s geometry, creating a site-focused, angled layout derived from the owner’s carefully conceived floor plan. “Lorna and Andy brought a lot to the table,” Kerr says. “Their experience with having built several custom homes benefited our design process. They are very well-researched, and they know their stuff.” The site not only influenced the home’s angles but also its elevation. To enable contractor Brian Geer to construct the home at a height that best captures scenic views above the berms and fairway in the rear and the quiet street out front, he raised the grade’s finish floor elevation by two feet. Consequently, design adjustments were necessary to ensure the dwelling’s height didn’t exceed the maximum building height regulations. “We had to strike the right balance to

optimize the views without compromising on building height,” Geer explains. The architecture also played a significant role in achieving this equilibrium. A mix of flat and shallow-shed roof lines kept the structure’s height in check while delivering a signature mid-century modern element to the design. Others include spans of floor-to-ceiling glass, clean object lines, clerestory windows and nature-inspired materials that celebrate the landscape in all its glory. “We didn’t intentionally set out to create a midcentury modern vibe,” Kerr explains. “It was, however, a symbiotic agreement of what we liked. Andy, Lorna, and I put our unique spin on it.” That spin encompasses everything from deep patios and trellis-patterned screening to double overhangs that accentuate exterior openings and cantilevered roof lines much like double-matting does to beautifully framed art. “It’s an architectural theme repeated throughout that lends itself to the home’s implied mid-century modern silhouette,” Kerr says. The home itself is a series of angles that define the exterior and allow the interior spaces to pivot across the floor plan, framing endless views and fostering effortless movement throughout. Geer integrated structural supports and exposed beams within the home’s intricate framing to make room for the expanses of glass that define and open the architecture from every angle. The covered front entry, for example, is an interplay of floor-toceiling windows with an integrated door and a tile-clad pillar notched with a raised inset firebox. The eye moves through the entry’s transparent wall,

across the open great room and out of a combination of clerestory windows and a broad wall of glass to the breathtaking landscape beyond. The homeowners continually marvel at the scene. “The light and views are remarkable, and they change throughout the day,” Mildice remarks. For the interiors, Tate repeated many of the same materials she and Kerr selected with Mildice for the exterior, fostering a sense of continuity and smooth transition. Stone-tiled walls and columns, for example, move seamlessly indoors, while black tile resembling hot-rolled steel clad the courtyard fireplace and is also featured on the monolithic, twosided fireplace dividing the great room and lounge. Wood, with its warm tones and organic grains, also played a key role in the design.

wood as it harmonizes with the architecture. Tate employs repetition to establish consistency while emphasizing the importance of “reinventing elements within the edited palette to prevent monotony.” The designer applied this principle through an engaging mix of modern light fixtures, texture-rich fabrics and shapely furnishings. As the sun dips below the horizon, casting hues of pink and gold across the desert sky, Mildice and Brown’s vision stands as a testament to the seamless integration of thoughtful design with the natural beauty of their surroundings. Their resort-like home, a masterpiece of architectural ingenuity and aesthetic grace, embodies their shared passion for effortless living. With its flowing floorplan, expansive patios and inviting spaces, it serves not only as a sanctuary for desert living but also as a vibrant hub for entertaining surrounded by breathtaking beauty.

In the world of real estate, it’s often said that the three most important factors are “location, location, location.” And for empty nesters living in Salt Lake City, this mantra describes their motivation to purchase an old house located only a block away from where they previously lived and raised their family. Located in a quiet neighborhood on the east bench amidst towering trees and views of mountains and a golf course, the
house was a relic from the 1940s. Seeking a fresh start and a forever home, the new owners signed on Sparano Mooney Architects to assess the property and its potential. Architects Anne Mooney, John Sparano and Nate King concluded that the existing house’s charm had faded and its structure was unsound. With a nod to sustainability, the trio proposed a bold plan: dismantle the old house, salvage materials where feasible and
S U M M E R 2 0 2 4 | U TA H S T Y L E A N D D E S I G N . C O M

erect a new dwelling in its place. Their clients readily embraced the idea and signed on contractor Chris Towson of Living Home Construction to remove the existing structure and build their new residence. “They were looking for a modern contemporary home, something smaller that they could stay in forever,” Mooney explains. As the architects designed the new home, they sought inspiration from two prominent natural features on the site, each offering a unique opportunity to harmonize architecture with the land. First among them was Emigration Creek, flowing adjacent to the property. The gentle murmur of the creek provides a comforting backdrop for the site throughout the seasons. To embrace both the sounds and picturesque vistas the creek provides, the architects devised an “L” scheme configuration for the dwelling, seamlessly intertwining the home with its serene surroundings. The Wasatch Fault—an active seismic zone running through northern Utah—was the second natural feature that inspired the home’s design. Because the property is located along the Fault, the owners wanted the home to withstand an earthquake. Consequently, the architects elevated the structural design of the home to surpass the standards typically found in schools or hospitals, providing a secure sanctuary for the family. The fault is also aesthetically reflected in the massing of the home. A clear shift in the volume between the public and private spaces and a clear axis between them nods to the force of nature. “The division is symbolic,” King notes. The massing and floor plan also prioritize efficiency. “Unlike their previous home, all the spaces are intentional and all are used,” Mooney says, describing the 4,500 square-foot house. What’s more, the floor plan allows the couple to live entirely on the main level without having to use the stairs or lower level if they prefer. The main level’s great room includes living, dining and kitchen areas that are open to each other. The south-facing space connects to a broad covered patio replete with a pizza oven and golf-course views. The kitchen was a priority, Mooney explains. “The owners are really into cooking and entertaining, so creating a spectacular kitchen and patio was very important to them.” The clients also required the primary suite

OPPOSITE: Streamlined design defines the kitchen, where a waterfall island anchors the chef-worthy space. A Sub-Zero fridge, freezer and wine fridge are integrated into columns.

The natural light and views that flood the interior are courtesy of strategically positioned doors and windows. They maximize light throughout the year while minimizing seasonal energy demands. Natural site ventilation enhances indoor air quality and reduces reliance on mechanical heating and cooling systems. “From the beginning, our clients wanted to talk about sustainability—the options, materials and building systems,” Mooney recalls. As a result, the Sparano Mooney team incorporated passive design strategies that have resulted in remarkable reductions in energy and water consumption, boasting an 80% decrease in energy usage and a 55% reduction in water usage compared to standard benchmarks. The dwelling also enjoys a 10.6kWh photovoltaic array that’s expandable to accommodate future power needs in addition to two Tesla Powerwalls in the garage for energy storage. A 160-gallon on-site water bank was also designed to ensure a potable water supply during interruptions to municipal services. The architects and contractor collaborated closely with their clients to ensure that the design and construction of their home would age gracefully, evolving alongside its inhabitants. Today, having savored each season within their abode, the owners revel in the harmonious blend of nature’s sights and sounds, coupled with their architecturally stunning home and its thoughtfully curated features.

to be located on the opposite side of the house, providing a private sanctuary that enjoys morning light and the sounds of the flowing stream. Equal attention was given to the choice of the home’s materials. Outwardly, the modern structure is anchored by vertical boardformed concrete, complemented by vertical Kebony wood rainscreen cladding above. This striking combination highlights the raw, natural qualities and contrasting tones of the lowmaintenance materials and aligns with the owners’ sustainability preferences. “The Kebony is derived from rapid-growth species and has no impact on deforestation,” Mooney elaborates. The exterior’s captivating blend of dark and light seamlessly transitions inside the home, where materials and features were meticulously curated to satisfy the owners’ desire for a comfortable, contemporary home. In the entry and great room, for example, light concrete floors anchor the spaces, complemented by blackened steel accents adorning the fireplace and range hood, while natural oak warms the ceilings and doors. “This shift of dark and light reinforces the idea of shift and duality,” King says. White walls allow these materials to prevail aesthetically while providing a gallery-like backdrop for the owners’ collection of artwork. Interior elements, which were crafted in collaboration with Natasha Wallis Interior Design, include contemporary furnishings and high-end appliances that equip the professionalgrade kitchen.

CLOCKWISE FROM ABOVE: A spacious covered patio functions as an outdoor dining area, complete with a built-in pizza oven for al fresco entertaining. This expansive space seamlessly connects the interior living areas with the serene backyard and captivating views of the nearby golf course. A broad window fills the den/entertainment room with light and garden views. Built-in shelves frame a sofa that doubles as a bed, transforming the space into a guest room. In the primary suite bathroom, luxurious amenities flourish, including a skylight, smoked glass-enclosed steam shower and spacious tub.

The hallway boasts refined oak millwork and a floorto-ceiling drawers and pocket doors that cleverly integrate storage space and display niches.

FINAL WORD
MAGIC LIGHT Like other photographers specializing in homes, I often shoot multiple exposures to capture the diverse light levels within a space. I blend these exposures to achieve a balanced fi nal image, a technique especially crucial when photographing exteriors due to the stark contrast between the architecture and the sky, whether it’s day or night. However, there are rare moments when the stars align, and magic seems to infuse the air. Such was the case on the night I captured this photo—a single shot, untouched by blending or multiple exposures. It captures the spectacular sunset and the stunning pool house by The Fox Group. Moments like these are rare, making this image one of my all-time favorites from my decade-long journey photographing homes. —LINDSAY SALAZAR, PHOTOGRAPHER
