Monitor's Rest

Monitor’s Rest is an elegant outcropping distinguished by its high-altitude site and restrained aesthetic. Alpine wilderness is enmeshed with residential amenities as the structure draws occupants in circulation across the steep slope. An introspective entry courtyard surrounded by a single-story glazed circulation gallery veils the home’s majestic form. On moving past the exterior’s monumental limestone, shou sugi ban cedar, and patinated copper, a two-story atrium connects views cross-site onto the expansive Wasatch front.

The interior continues to filter a multi-directional array of natural views from every room, directing and redirecting the occupant toward a selection of unique outdoor spaces. Massive windows lined in thin steel and sliding tectonic door lift systems enable entire walls to shift, knitting the indoor environment further into the panoramic surroundings.
