Set amongst the dramatic ridgelines of Utah’s mountainous terrain, this residence rises as a pair of pavilions connected by a central courtyard. Designed as a multigenerational retreat, the home celebrates the ever-changing light and expansive views across the valley, while the courtyard serves as a protected space for year-round outdoor living. Emphasizing simplicity and functionality, the design prioritizes a deep connection to the surrounding landscape, using weathered copper and board-formed concrete on the exterior to anchor the home within its natural setting.
With interiors also designed by CLB, materials such as white oak, hemlock, and custom millwork create a sense of continuity, inviting the outside in and enhancing the home’s dual purpose as both a residence and a gallery for the owner’s contemporary art collection.
Set on a 4.95-acre site, the home is strategically placed on a natural clearing framed by mature trees, offering privacy while framing sweeping vistas of the valley and mountains. The design balances the program’s needs with the desire for minimal ecological disturbance, utilizing one pavilion for public spaces and the other for private functions.
A glass-lined gallery links the two pavilions, creating a porous threshold that doubles as a showcase for art. The home’s restrained aesthetic, paired with expansive glazing, invites natural light and highlights the surrounding landscape, making for a retreat that harmonizes with its remote, forested setting.
