An open great room designed to bring the mountain inside. At its heart, a massive stone fireplace anchors the space — its oak mantle hand-hewn from a timber salvaged from the Golden Spike at Promontory Point, a piece of Utah history built into the home. Soaring ceilings with dark wood beams frame floor-to-ceiling views of the surrounding landscape, while warm neutral furnishings keep the space grounded and livable. A room that works equally well for a quiet evening or a full house. Location: Park City, Utah

A massive boulder has been cored and cut to be used as a firepit for guests. The firepit is filled with black lava rock.

Entry overgrown with massive juniper was scraped and regraded to create a multi-level deck for large gatherings and to enjoy gorgeous valley views. Drought tolerant, deer resistant plantings fill the slope below the new retaining wall.

The original grade here in front of the modular wall was more than 10' down! That's a LOT of compacted soil... the entire area was somewhere in the range of 800+ tandem truckloads of fill dirt which is held back by 10' of interlocking concrete blocks (modular wall). All of the drainage from this massive area extends to the far road near the Tee box, (the highest point) and emptying through a 4' diameter pipe. Rainfall runoff produces anything from a small creek to a small river. The last form is in place marking the lowest point of the Privacy... notice the wire back silt fence (held fast by metal spikes deep into the soil) continues around the area which is over the modular wall. It continues around the entire perimeter of the project, per County/ State and Federal code regulations. If there's no barrier for silt control, the fines can be massive!
