Size: 2,500 SF
Role: Architect
Perched in the wooded slopes of Summit Park, Parkview Mountain House is a 2,500-square-foot, three-story retreat designed for deep connection with nature. Its slender, vertical form rises through the trees, with extended box windows that frame intimate views of migratory wildlife, rustling leaves, and shifting light. A switchback stair, lined with a soaring window, carries guests upward through the forest canopy, linking cozy top-floor gathering spaces to an outdoor sundeck.
Material and color choices root the home in its Utah context. Bathrooms draw inspiration from the state’s geological palette, from the rich red earth of the south to the dark, loamy soils beneath the site. Knotty cedar siding, left expressive and unrefined, narrates the story of the surrounding forest. The result is a mountain home that is both immersive and grounded—where architecture and landscape are inseparably intertwined.
