| The house in Logan, Utah is perched on a hillside with views of rolling hills, a deep valley, and thick scrub oak forests. Its dramatic sloping roofline echoes the curves of the hillside. Because of this roofline, most of the ceilings in the home are sloped, creating a huge variety in ceiling height throughout the house. "The sense of spatial compression is a very powerful tool," says Lloyd. Private Comment

| "We thought of the house as connected pavilions," says Lloyd. "There are two bungalow-sized forms that are pulled apart, with an arced living room connecting them." Each bungalow is about 26' x 40'. Together they hold the home's five bedrooms, bathrooms and common areas. Private Comment

| Outdoor living areas flow smoothly from the inside the house. There's a clear view to the outside throughout — when entering the home, the exterior terraces on the other side of the house are visible. Private Comment

| Because the house was built onto a steep slope, Lloyd and his team used terracing to create patios and garden spaces. This outdoor patio is paved with concrete in a stamped cobblestone pattern. Private Comment

| When Lloyd first built this home, the clients requested that he put a laundry room next to the kitchen, and he put one where this small family room is now. Over the years, the owner realized her family and friends loved to gather in the kitchen, and the laundry room was stifling that space. When they did the remodel, Lloyd moved the laundry room to a different area. Private Comment
Lloyd and Taggart used a number of unique ceiling treatments, including the woven plywood with a cherrywood finish above the family room in this shot. Split-face Travertine tile was applied to the wall behind the TV, contrasting the polished look of the plywood ceiling treatment and the cherry-stained bamboo floor.

| While the lines of this house make for a bold design, Lloyd and Taggart chose a relatively simple palette of materials, colors and products. Lighting was kept understated to keep from interrupting the flow of the space. Sconces, recessed lighting, and a few pendants dominate the lighting scheme. Private Comment
The ceiling screen in the master bedroom is a custom piece from local artisans, faux finished with silver leaf. Light from the outside goes through the piece to light the master bedroom. "It almost looks like a Turkish tent," says Lloyd. Bed frame: B&B Italia Bedding: Bella Notte custom bedding |
| The extremely low ceiling on the upper-level bridge is another example of the drama created by the home's sloping roofline. The custom-designed railings are made of steel and a structured bamboo eco-resin panel from 3-Form. Private Comment
