Lone Peak

Rooted in Nature

Solid brass, honed quartzite, bleached walnut, sand-blasted white oak, linear limestone, and integrated sinks with Italian faucetry are critical components in this home surrounded by views of Utah Lake and the Lone Peak of the Wasatch Mountains. Even in a home with 14’ windows and 25’ ceilings, intimate details matter most. It’s in the brass fins, providing a 1/2” shadow line, or the drywall bump-out with a ribbon of brass forming a handrail. It’s the stone drawer fronts on the island or the deep bevel on the stone slab shelving. Merging materials pushes the energy in a space, providing a touch of the unexpected.
I designed the fireplace mantle with ridged limestone to be soft and light, yet deeply textural and intriguing. A 1/2” thick solid brass rib serves as the connector between the rough exterior limestone trailing from the outside to the inside and the vertical grooved mantle piece. I chose Colemandina marble for the face of the hearth room fireplace, adding more drama.
Lighting plays a key role as part of the art throughout my home designs. For instance, Apparatus' Lariat light fixture dances in a free-standing staircase, with the lowest-hanging globe just above a bespoke water feature made of blue fusion marble.
Upon walking in the front door, the expansive 25’ tall entry needed grounding. I designed a wall clad in walnut and aged brass, while the ceiling, stained in a light greige, adds weight overhead. The views toward Utah Lake take the forefront, but everything leading to it expresses a sophisticated Italian palette that reinforces the idea of craftsmanship and elegance.
