On a gentle ridge looking out to Park City the Red Hawk residence is perched on a mountain crest that offers the perfect vantage point for it's spectacular surroundings. By way of outdoor living the home's design weaves uninterrupted views of Utah's iconic ski slopes, verdant canyons, and mountain peaks into the daily living of the family that flocks there.

For Park City's serene summer season the home is wrapped with a deck ideal for breakfast dining, lazy day reading, and sunset viewing. But with the elevation and the raw, breathtaking views also comes extreme weather in spectacular form. At this elevation the arrival of spring can bring with it gale force winds; early fall can produce earth trembling thunderstorms; and winter can pile up snow in excess of 12 feet. But this house is equipped for all seasons.

When the wind blows, occupants can nest in the central courtyard garden for protection. When rain pours, the family can take refuge in a covered outdoor living room. And when snow falls and temperatures drop, large retractable doors close converting the outdoor space into a cozy all-season room. Super insulated and built tighter than a beaver dam, this nest is always cozy and efficient.

Designed as a campus for work, living, and leisure the home is dynamic in its daily function. An outbuilding, separate from the living function, houses a workshop for all things loud and dirty. An office separated from the main house by the all-season room keeps work at work and leisure in living. And of course the guestroom has a wing of it's own for privacy.

Birds of a feather, the owners are incredible designers by nature and profession, both working in the entertainment industry. This fact facilitated a brilliant collaboration between owner and designer during the home building process. Now, after flying the urban coop, they have a remote place to call their roost.
