UTAH RESIDENCE

With New West Land, Co.

Walk on the site in summer and you've got muck to your ankles, in winter snow to your knees, but a greener more beautiful site is difficult find. The owner deeded more that half of the land as conservancy so he could get permission to use a bit of fill to site this house in the wetlands between ranges just outside Park City Utah.


The house floats over the wetland on a combination of concrete pier, steel and sips panel floor system letting the wetland just flow on by undisturbed. The building orientation takes advantage of great views east and west toward the mountains. Rhythm of columns and trusses every 8 feet inverts in the double high living room to make a space that is lofty and intimate.
