EDITOR’S NOTE
Live It Up Design pros will tell you that a great space isn’t just about how it looks, but also how it lives. I couldn’t agree more. And with the arrival of autumn, the allure of kicking through a leaf-covered lawn, curling up in chair by a flickering fireplace or nestling into a cozy window seat becomes irresistible. Experiences, as well as ambiance, draw us in. This issue does the same, enticing you with ideas and images to inspire living rooms of your own. The team at Imbue Design captures the raw beauty of the Bear River Range with a remote retreat that connects its owners with nature and simple, unplugged living. In Heber Valley, designer Caitlin Creer infuses a mountain home with inviting spaces and a palette inspired by duck eggs. How’s that for charming? Steve Tiek and Ali Henrie teamed to overhaul an Orem home’s obsolete ‘80s kitchen into a gathering space dressed in European farmhouse style. Meanwhile, McKenzie Dickson joined Jackson & LeRoy to transform an outdated Deer Valley ski home into a

family’s high-style, newly fashioned vacation retreat. They couldn’t resist a fresh start, nor could the owners of a new Park City home, who enlisted Ezra Lee to create a modern-meets-mountain dwelling comprised of active gathering spaces, indoors and out. Looking for more ways to live large at home this fall? This issue is packed full of them. Decorating, entertaining, dining, travel, gardening—they’re all right here. Our co-founder John Shuff, who passed away this summer, passionately believed that it isn’t enough for us to showcase beautiful homes—we must also create content that inspires readers to live beautifully in their homes. He was right. His conviction fills these pages and will continue in issues that follow. Thanks, John. You are missed.

BEHIND THE BRUSH
THE ART OF REFLECTION Dimitri Kozyrev’s “Mirror” celebrates the artist’s stylistic choices rather than simple resolutions or understanding. “Good art is when you can feel the creator using his experiences,” artist Dimitri Kozyrev says. He was born in the Soviet Union in 1967 and moved to the U.S. in 1991, where he has spent much of his time as an academic. Today as an artist, Kozyrev considers learning and understanding history a crucial part of his work. To create “Mirror,” Kozyrev studied hundreds of archival images featuring young soldiers. In the painting, the forms of these men appear shrouded beneath vivid, modern tones, creating what Kozyrev describes as “a seemingly impossible contrast.” The piece—along with its collection—is titled “Mirror,” after Andrei Tarkovsky’s 1975 film of the same name. Like the film, Kozyrev’s work is a push and pull between the familiar and the unknown, a from it. “The role of an artist is to look, reflect and then present the result,” Kozyrev says. Kozyrev’s disinterest in tidy resolutions is apparent in his stylistic choices. His art brings to mind, but does not imitate, chronicled stylistic

DISH
AWESOME SAUCE Classic applesauce is a forever fall favorite, but this year, let’s give it a twist.
If applesauce makes you think of grandma, gingham and baby food, think again. Most groceries carry a variety of apples and each one makes a slightly differently flavored sauce. Bring a global imagination of seasonings to apples, and you’ve got a sophisticated side dish or a sauce for pork, beef or chicken. First, make your own applesauce with pounds of apples, peeled and cored (or just cored if you like chewy bits of peel.) Cook with a strip of lemon zest, 1/2 cup of sugar (or start with less if the apples are sweet), a pinch of salt and about a cup of water until soft. Let cool slightly, then blend with an immersion blender to the smoothness or chunkiness you prefer.
28
U TA H S T Y L E A N D D E S I G N | FA L L 2 0 2 0
FRESH IDEAS • Spicy Applesauce: Add 1/2 tsp. cayenne to applesauce. Or, add a tablespoon of fresh-grated ginger, a pinch of turmeric and maybe even some golden raisins. • C ranapple Sauce: Cook 1 1/2 cups of fresh cranberries with the apples. • Apple Pie Sauce: Stir in 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon, a pinch of cloves and a pinch of allspice to your finished applesauce. Let it rest awhile before serving to let flavors mellow. • Pear Applesauce: Use fresh pears instead of apples. • C aramel Applesauce: Cook 1/3 cup brown sugar with 1/2 cup water until it looks like maple syrup. Then add the apples—no more sugar—and cook until tender. • Rhubarb Applesauce: Cut rhubarb into 1-inch pieces and cook with the apples.
Yours for the Picking With 7,500 varieties of apples in the world, and 2,500 of them grown in the U.S., you have a lot options. Shop for the flavor and color you crave. Kiku are the sweetest variety, determined by the measurement of brix (like wine grapes). Most apple varieties have a brix of 12–14%; Kiku apples measure at about 16–17%. Granny Smith is one of the tartest apples on the market. Honeycrisp is a fall harvest loved for its crispness. Gala is creamy yellow with pink striping and has a sweet flavor. Red Delicious is a classic with a sweet but very mild flavor and juicy flesh. Fuji tend to be the biggest apples and are firm, crispy and juicy. Winesap hold their shape in cooking and have a distinctive complex flavor, not just tart or sweet. Gala tend to hold their color after cutting without browning, making them great for salads. Empire and Cortland are especially good for applesauce.

DIG INTO FALL With a to-do list in hand, Master Gardener Amanda Pratt gardens deep into fall while preparing and planting for a spectacular growing season next year. Combining her love for design and plants into her business A Lavender Garden , Master Gardener Amanda Pratt offers home horticulture consults, landscape design, and one-onone Utah-based gardening education—with a focus on sustainable practices, water-wise plants and soil science. At her charming Millcreek home, she keeps chickens and bees while nurturing a 2000-square-foot garden where she plants just about anything that will grow in the high desert. This autumn, she offers tips to make the most of your gardens this season and beyond.
Begin by getting a soil test from U.S.U. Analytical Laboratory (go to usual.usu.edu for instructions). Apply the recommended nutrients and organic matter. Fall preparation allows the microorganisms to build in the soil for spring planting.
Add a layer of organic mulch Soil Pep (decomposed pine that adds nutrients to the soil) protects your soil and keeps spring weeds down. It also conserves moisture and helps plants survive the winter.
Plant cold-hardy crops Choose varieties that can withstand some frost, including kale, lettuce, broccoli, spinach, peas, radishes, carrots, beets, Swiss chard, turnips, kohlrabi and cabbage. Extend the harvest with the protec-
30
U TA H S T Y L E A N D D E S I G N | FA L L 2 0 2 0
tion of a low tunnel, floating row covers or a cold frame. Plant garlic, green onions and leeks for a spring crop.
Enhance your landscape Add trees, shrubs and perennials now for more robust plants and stronger root systems next spring. Plant at least 3-4 weeks before the ground freezes to allow time to establish—no later than Thanksgiving. Water regularly.
Clean up Cut back perennials and grasses in areas where access is needed. Remove plant material near structures to avoid moisture buildup and reduce insect and rodent pests. Destroy any diseased foliage, especially vegetable foliage that can spread fungal disease and viruses into the next year’s crops.
Sow cover crops Mostly used for vegetable beds, cover crops add nitrogen to the soil, increase soil organic matter, suppress weeds, conserve soil moisture, reduce compaction and prevent erosion. Common varieties include clover, peas and hairy Vetch.
Plant spring bulbs Extend the beauty by choosing varieties with different blooming periods so that when one flower dies out, another one emerges. Plant bulbs in holes three-times their height. For clusters of flowers, plant in groups of three to five bulbs. A Lavender Garden, SLC alavendergarden.com

A PIECE OF WORK
Jason and Ellen Winkler began with a simple idea: re-imagine what it means to go to the office, retell the story of a neighborhood, and rethink how experience shapes artistry. The Winklers overhauled several historic structures into adaptive-reuse projects throughout Denver before they set their sights on Salt Lake City, where the Granary District immediately caught their attention. “It’s the gateway to the city that’s been forgotten about,” Ellen says. There, she spotted a “big, beautiful” warehouse with character and history, unmistakably apropos for adaptive reuse. “Our goal has always been to welcome communities back to the neighborhoods around them that have been overlooked,” she adds. The couple knew they'd found the perfect place to create Industry and turn that vision into a reality. The building’s design, bridging eclecticism with functionality, is an apt metaphor for the community fostered within it. With 360,000 square feet—composed of Industry's private offices, kitchen and dining areas, outdoor patios for both the tenants and the
34
U TA H S T Y L E A N D D E S I G N | FA L L 2 0 2 0
neighboring community, and a rooftop deck—there are limitless opportunities for community collaboration and bold design. Century-old, utilitarian clerestories, originally chosen by factory designers for economical lighting, seeps the building in natural light, blurring the line between indoor and outdoor spaces. Contemporary details like curved soffits and neutral tones modernize the space, while the industrial steel beams and towering wood ceilings command mindfulness of the building’s rich history. The 5,000-square-foot rooftop deck serves as a sunny space to finish a project during work hours, but can be transformed during evenings and weekends into a stylish and well-equipped event space overlooking the Wasatch. What's next? “We want the community that surrounds this space to inspire activity, and that means creating smart, walkable, bikeable, dog-friendly neighborhoods,” Jason explains. “We have restaurant spaces, a hotel, apartment buildings, retail and outdoor spaces coming onboard,” Ellen adds. Stay tuned.

Not much has changed in the ways we use our kitchens since the ‘80s. We still prep meals in them, store food in them, and gather and entertain in them. However, the feel and functionality we demand from them has changed over the years, as proven by the recent transformation of an outdated Orem kitchen by architectural designer Steve Tiek, interior designer Ali Henrie and contractor Carl Robison. They completely overhauled the River Bottoms neighborhood house, and the renewed kitchen is among its most special spaces. The homeowners chose the property for its premium location. “The house
sits on the Provo River, but you couldn’t access the river or its views from the back,” Tiek explains. The dwelling also lacked any meaningful style or architectural personality, so its owners turned to the team of pros to capitalize on the site and transform the tired house and kitchen. “We worked with the kitchen’s original shape, changed its floor plan, and gave the room a modernized French European style that our clients love,” Tiek says. To begin, the designers addressed the kitchen’s layout. They removed a walkin pantry that cramped the kitchen and narrowed its access to a separate dining
ABOVE: Architectural designer Steve Tiek narrowed the opening between the remodeled kitchen and living room spaces and framed it with light-toned timbers. “It creates an invitation into the kitchen and better defines it as a separate space,” he says. OPPOSITE: Light wood tones and creamcolored cabinetry gives the newly remodeled kitchen a warm, light-filled ambiance. Leaded glass windows help foster the room’s timeless, European style.

So too did expanded openings to the adjoining dining and living room areas, handsomely framed in post-and-beam timbers. “They help delineate the space while keeping it open,” Tiek explains. “They invite you into the room.” They also foster its timeless, European style. The team rid the room of dark, orangetinted wood, and today, harmonious light tones prevail. “There is a lot of wood in this

room, so we chose light stains to create a natural, timeless look that isn’t heavy,” Henrie says. The floors and ceilings are composed of natural white oak, as is the island base. “We stained them each in slightly different tones to soften and warm the space,” she adds. Tiek gave the 8-foothigh ceiling a visual lift with a coffered, tongue-and-groove treatment. “It actually makes the room feel taller,” he explains. The removal of dark upper cabinets that encircled the outdated room did the same.
“The enlarged window openings modernize the space,” Tiek says. They also flood the room with daylight and views. The windows’ stone surround features classic motifs repeated near the range. FA L L 2 0 2 0 | U TA H S T Y L E A N D D E S I G N

Appliances from Mountain Land Design. RIGHT: Tiek replaced a bank of small windows with larger versions that open to views of the Provo River behind the home. The team painted the window frames a dark bronze color to resemble metal.
Today, a painted floor-to-ceiling pantry cabinet, two banks of lower cabinets and a custom island provide all the storage space the empty-nest homeowners need. By eliminating upper cabinets, the design team was able to use the room’s walls for enlarged over-sink windows, a custom hood framed by leaded glass windows and open corner shelves created for setting and displaying everyday serving pieces and dinnerware. “This design opened the room, making it feel larger and filling it with river views,” Tiek explains. Decorative choice also played an important role. Black bistro-style stools and glazed pottery pieces set a relaxed, convivial mood, while Taj Mahal quartzite lends elegance and pattern to the countertops and backsplashes. Dark window leading, black hood panels and an engaging mix of metals—including polished nickel faucets, black hardware and brass-based pendants—play off cream-toned cabinets and walls with sure-fire results. “This is not about

trendy contrast,” Henrie explains. Instead, the designer wanted something “more subtle and timeless.” The new kitchen is exactly what the owners craved, Henrie says. “It’s not a super formal style. It’s an elevated form of casual that’s comfortable and impressive.” Tiek agrees and credits the remodel’s success to a winning team. “The collaboration was fantastic,” he recalls. “Our clients were really involved yet were very trusting in what we could create for them.”

We go one step further to make sure we get it right the first time.”

When designing homes all over the western United States, The Black Goose Design prioritizes creating homes that reflect the personalities of the people who live in them. “You can ask 100 friends, and look at all the pictures on Instagram, but in the end you need to be true to what 7 6 5 2 H olden St., M i d v a l e 8 0 1 - 562- 1933 t heblackgoos edes ign.c om @t h eblackgoos ede si gn

That longevity with the business allows for repeat clients, trust and a wealth of knowledge. “I have seen every trend come and go, and come again,” says Johnson. “I am most excited that we are currently focusing on designing for the specific client, not making one look fit each client.” DENISE JOHNSON / SENIOR DESIGNER

Complete Design’s clients are encouraged to thoroughly examine their daily functions in order to plan their updated spaces thoughtfully. “As a result, they will feel effortless and functional,” Gillrie explains. Having recently expanded her business to Utah after designing homes from New York to California, Gillrie is excited to bring a Southern traditional feel to the Mountain West.
EMILY GILLRIE / OWNER
“I am best known for my love of Southern traditional elements mixed with the ease of the West Coast.”
Ask the Expert HOT TAKE: No design is truly timeless—all ideas and concepts have a shelf life. Most homes require a refresh every 7-12 years, so don’t be afraid to try a trend or something out of the box. As long as it is something you love, you will be happy with the outcome.
KEEPING IT FRESH: High-end remodels make my pulse quicken. Every project brings new challenges and exciting results. Taking a space and turning it into something that’s a reflection of my client is my ultimate goal.
PRO TIP: Take your time on the planning part of the design process. Many people want to rush to get the bulldozer in, but thoughtful planning and sourcing of materials will ensure the best results.

You know what’s worth the wait? Utah’s early autumn. For many of us, this is the most beautiful time of year, and we count the days until it arrives. Event planner Michelle Cousins is no exception. “I love this time of the year,” she exclaims. As the founder and principal designer of Michelle Leo Events, Cousins creates spectacular events year-round, and she relishes the calm and comfort of early fall—that sliver of serenity nestled between summer’s full-throttle festivities and the hustle and bustle of the holidays. “It’s so relaxed and cozy,” she explains. Naturally, the seasons always influence the events Cousins designs for her clients, ranging from luxury brides to high-style hostesses and hot-shot corporations. So, given Cousins’ love for fall, you’d expect the parties she conjures for this time of year to be extra special—and you’d be right. The following pages prove it. Cousins invites us to a number of her autumn celebrations, offering insight into how she made each magical. At the same time, she provides tips and ideas for creating your own fantastic fall fete.

“What experience do you want to create for your guests?” Cousins asks. Whether it’s a laid-back lunch served in a garden or a harvest dinner set in front of a fireplace, the experience is the starting point for planning a party. Establishing the experience also helps you determine the style that guides every design decision one makes. For Cousins, the guest list is key. “Gather with those you love,” she suggests. “A casual party should reflect you and the relationships you have with those you invite.” And remember, everything needn’t be perfect. “Don’t be intimidated. When guests see that you have worked to make things special, they’ll know that you care.”
“Special drinks offer an opportunity to create a memorable experience and unique design element,” Cousins explains. High West whiskey gives a kick to dessert drinks topped with sliced apples and whipped cream.

Ribbon-tied leaves wrap pillar candles that top an outdoor table.
Cousins chose a grove of quaking aspens as the vibrant backdrop for a mirrored table and upholstered chairs. Flowers and candles add vivid tones of berry, purple and plum. “These bolder colors make it feel a bit more formal,” she says.
TAKE IT OUTSIDE (OR INVITE THE OUTSIDE IN) “There are many styles that suit this time of year, and nature is a common ingredient to them all,” Cousins says. It’s no wonder she loves to entertain outdoors during the early days of fall. To create a truly special event, Cousins is not shy about setting a dressy mirrored table inside a grove of quaking aspens or staging a vintage farm table in a grassy meadow, each letting fall’s dramatic landscapes set the scene. “It creates unforgettable memories,” she says. “What’s more, the temperatures this time of year are perfect for entertaining outside.” To extend the warmth into the evenings, she often integrates outdoor fire features, heat lamps and piles of blankets and throws into her design mix. And when Cousins takes the party indoors, she continues to rely on nature for inspiration, harvesting fall’s colors, textures and flavors to bring them inside.
PRODUCE A PALETTE “I like contrast,” says Cousins, who often plays off the colors of the mountains and natural landscapes to anchor her autumn color palettes. For a table setting surrounded by yellow aspens, she’ll choose neutral tones for runners and place settings that allow the colorful trees and her vibrant floral arrangements to shine. “You don’t want everything to catch your eye,” she says. Conversely, when Cousins selects a vivid runner or bright tableware, she frequently chooses softer tones for flowers and accents. “Opposites attract,” she explains. Either way, Cousins elevates the rich and comforting colors of autumn with texture. “Because the palette is a bit more limited than other times of the year, it becomes even more important to pay attention to texture,” she explains.

DETAIL DRIVEN Michelle Cousins’ pointers on staging a memorable autumn soirée. ON FLORALS “Forage for elements to prevent your arrangements from looking overly curated,” Cousins says. Scour gardens and fields for foliage, grasses, pods and blooms. And remember autumn’s bounty. “Seasonal produce like pears, apples, artichokes and figs are beautiful additions to fall displays.”
ON MATERIALS “Wood is a natural for autumn tabletop objects, from chargers to candleholders,” says Cousins. She also likes to use mixed metals, to elevate her displays. “Most flatware is metallic and creates a nice neutral for a palette.”
ON FURNISHINGS Take indoor furnishings outside for a memorymaking outdoor party. “Try a farm table for dining, chairs and pillows for comfort and end tables for trays of food and drink from which guests can serve themselves.”
ON FAVORS To extend the experience beyond the party, send guests home with a special favor. Cousins prefers edible takeaways to meaningless trinkets. “Something small and special that isn’t leftover from the meal,” she says. “Personalized place cards also make fun favors.”
ON COLOR “Bolder colors often make an event feel more formal, so I usually choose less intense tones and seasonal shades for an early autumn palette,” says Cousins, who uses floral arrangements, linens, tableware and even food to create her events’ color stories.
ON MENU CARDS “Menu cards make a meal feel more special and are great conversation starters for guests who don’t know each other,” Cousins says.

Cousins fostered a masculine, urban vibe by topping this table in deep tones of aqua and gray. Copper chargers and flatware join spicetoned flowers to add warmth and depth to the setting. “I love the contrast they create,” she says. A bunched-up cheesecloth runner and ruffled tulips deliver bold texture.
TOP YOUR TABLE For Cousins, it all begins with the table. “This is the foundation of the celebration,” she says. For larger groups, she encourages the use of both a farmhouse table as well as a round table. She then creates settings for each that are complementary, not matching. “Different tables, different designs,” she explains. “Sisters, not twins.” Regardless of the type or number of tables, Cousins always tops them with elements that foster the event’s desired design. For early autumn, she often teams loose runners, earthy tableware, informal florals and relaxed layers of accents to capture the season’s comforting vibe.
MASSAGE THE MENU “You don’t need an overly complicated menu this
season,” insists Cousins, who frequently incorporates charcuterie, trays of appetizers and serve-yourself snacks into her culinary mix. “People love to graze this time of year.” Help-yourself servings also take the pressure off the host. Signature drinks are another item on Cousins’ must-have list. “They are an opportunity to add to the experience and wow your guests,” she says. From a hot-cocoa bar to spiced ciders paired with whiskey, the options are endless. And, when it comes to including a special dessert, Cousins suggests placing it front and center throughout the party. “Why hide a beautiful cake until the last moment?” she asks. Instead, she often makes a memorable dessert part of the tabletop, nestling it in among fresh florals, candles and accents. “Let it be a showstopper,” she says.

Imagine acre after acre of grass-covered hills undulating through a panoramic setting that stretches as far as the eye can see. Now add a low-sitting structure nestled into the side of one of the hillsides, a barely visible dot on the distant landscape. Is it a modern sculpture or a residential retreat? In truth, it’s both. The homeowner craved a remote getaway located far from the hustle-and-bustle of city life, a place where he and his family could reconnect with nature and escape the demands of the digital-world. He also craved modern design that connects to nature. To locate the ideal spot for an isolated retreat, the owner returned to the place of his childhood summer

vacations near Bear Lake, Idaho. There he found it, seemingly in the middle of nowhere: a perfect site located near a stand of quaking aspen trees, part of a sixty-acre parcel of rolling grassy hills surrounded by the Bear River Mountains that run from southeastern Idaho across the state line into northern Utah. To design the 2,125-square-foot sanctuary, the owner hired Imbue Design, a Utah-based firm headed by designers Chris Talvy, Hunter Gundersen and Matt Swindel. The firm prides itself on creating modern designs that “promote deliberate living and conscious architecture.� That is exactly what their client desired for

his family’s Southern Idaho getaway. The owner’s vision for the project—a spartan shelter within the Bear River range—inspired the design of three small structures that gather under an open-air pavilion or “canopy.” The buildings—including a main residence, guest quarters and utilitarian storage—enclose an expansive covered outdoor living area on three sides. The fourth side opens to the rolling hills and views of Paris Peak to the west. Strategically positioned, the structures also perform as windbreaks—crucial in the open range. The setting’s harsh climate inspired the home’s exterior material, as did the owner’s demand for a low-maintenance dwelling. Imbue responded with accordion metal panels that
completely cover the structures in dimensional cladding. “The seams stand off the house a little bit, so there’s a visual rhythm created by the play of light on the exterior that changes throughout the day,” Talvy explains. A large oculus integrated into the courtyard’s overhead canopy also provides an ever-changing light show as sunlight streams through its hoop-shaped opening. “The oculus becomes a timepiece as light traces across the ground, the interior living spaces and the buildings,” Talvy says. “It represents time well spent.” To pull the outside in, the designers strategically integrated floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the minimally adorned interior with abundant light that accentuates the intrinsic

quality of natural materials featured throughout. In the main residence, for example, a wall of glass doors seems to disappear as it slides back to reveal a 25-foot-wide opening that seamlessly connects the covered courtyard to the interior’s combined living and kitchen area. There, a floating cantilevered fireplace crafted from hot-rolled steel anchors one end of the room, while a custom kitchen furnished with white oak cabinets and Carrara marble countertops defines the other. Above, Atlantic white cedar dresses the ceiling, while below, floors of unfinished concrete provide a worry-free surface warmed by radiant heat. “Our client loved the idea of concrete,” says Gundersen. “By leaving them unsealed, they become part of the family’s record of living in the house.” The team’s thoughtful design extends to the home’s energy efficiency, as well. Because there are no utility connections for miles, the team created the home with energy in mind and employed passive solar strategies across the board. The designers cal-

“We wanted the back wall to dive into the tub,” says Talvy, describing the master bathroom’s design. Expansive windows provide the tile-clad, step-down tub with views of grass-covered, rolling hills.
culated roof overhangs for maximum summer cooling and positioned energy-efficient windows to harness energy from the sun during the winter. Their strategic window and door placement fosters cross-ventilation inside the home that improves interior comfort. “It almost feels like you’re sitting outside,” Gundersen says. Superior insulation and sealing techniques also play an important role. “We focus on air-tightness because more than 70 percent of heat loss is due to air exchange,” Talvy explains. For electricity and heat, the owners rely on a photovoltaic array positioned atop the canopy, as well as supplemental battery storage and a back-up generator. All agree that the project more than satisfied the goal of creating a remote, restorative retreat that connects to and lives with the land. “The owner wanted it to look like it actually grew from the site,” Talvy explains. Whether glimpsing the structure from afar or admiring its design details up close, the dwelling looks and feels naturally at home, there in the middle of nowhere.

Imagine the decorative equivalent of a wicker basket filled with pastel-hued duck eggs, and you’re close to envisioning the engaging interior design Caitlin Creer recently created for a Heber Valley home. Muted tones, natural materials and informal furnishings infuse the mountain dwelling with a simple, welcoming style. “We wanted something cozy and charming, so we chose the colors of duck eggs to guide our palette,” Creer says. Inspired creativity delivered delightful design throughout the home. The endearing style of English country farmhouses influenced the home’s décor as Creer and created a similar look and feel for this mountain home, while still respecting its rustic

setting. The team also wanted to create spaces large enough to accommodate visiting family and friends, but not so big as to preclude an inviting, comfy ambiance. Working closely with the clients, Creer teamed with architects Highland Group and builder Killowen Homes to deliver all of this and more. From the outside, the home reads as “very mountainy,” Creer says. Inside, she and the team tempered the rustic character with a decidedly more refined, relaxed style. There, muted hues, select European antiques and a palette of relaxed natural materials fill the spaces, lending a comforting, timeless ambiance to the light-filled rooms throughout. In the great room, a built-in window seat offers frontrow tickets to the home’s broad views of Heber Valley. It also counters the unease that large, lofty rooms often instill. “The window seat’s quaintness offsets the grandeur of the room and its vaulted ceilings,” Creer explains. A simple iron chandelier, wood-planked ceiling and floors, relaxed fabrics and a softly patterned rug do the same. To further the room’s cozy factor, Creer rejected heavy stone for the fireplace. Instead, she surprisingly dressed it in an intricately patterned William Morris wallpaper imported from England. “Like the duck eggs, the paper inspired the colors for the rest of the home,” she explains. Creer tweaked the palette in the nearby kitchen to fortify its position as a livable showpiece. “It’s a little lighter and brighter—not as muted and earthy as the rest of the home,” she explains.

A large plate rack filled with Liberty London dishes provides delightful detail to the space, as does a gleaming, light blue Lacanche range. “It adds a playful note,” says Creer, who rejected anything fussy or formal. “We wanted to create an inviting, pulled-together kitchen that’s not buttoned up or fancy.” Equally fetching details dress a powder room swathed in another William Morris wallpaper along with green-painted wainscot and cabinetry created to resemble furniture. The team searched “long and hard” to find the perfect brick that flows from the powder room to the nearby mudroom and laundry space. “It’s worn and patinated like an old cobblestone street,” Creer says. A herringbone pattern accentuates the bricks’ varied tones. The staircase is noticeably sparer than most of the home’s spaces, but it is equally lovely. “Like the great room, it is a grand architectural statement,” Creer explains.

When Erik and Meg Roach decided to build their new home, they set their sites on the mountains around Park City. They envisioned a dynamic home where they could surround themselves with bold design, natural beauty and visiting children and grandchildren. “We wanted a home that is modern, warm, stylish, welcoming and a place for family and fun,” Meg says. While Erik favored a contemporary, cleanlined style, Meg preferred something more transitional. They agreed they didn’t want a cold, austere design that placed look-at-me architecture before comfort, nor did they desire anything ornate or cluttered. This seems like a challenging needle to thread stylewise, but the team at Ezra Lee Design + Build (ELD+B) was up to the task. The Roaches admired the firm’s innovative designs and concept-to-completion approach to creating unique homes, so they enlisted them to design and build theirs. The two-story house, which sits hillside in the gated Promontory community, is neither

Instead, the ELD+B team created a clean-lined dwelling defined by simple yet powerful forms, including a sculpture-like extension of the front’s porte cochère and a simple massing that defines the back of the dwelling as it steps down and opens to the sloped site. “It’s a mountain modern home with a contemporary, industrial twist,” explains Landon Taylor, head of design. To link the dynamic architecture to its rugged site, the team clad the exterior with natural materials including cedar siding, Oklahoma blue stone veneers and blackplated zinc. It also integrated fiberglass-reinforced panels that resemble enormous slabs of cast limestone. Once inside the broad steel front door, visitors can look from the light-filled entry through the expansive great room and floorto-ceiling windows to broad decks and patios overlooking the rugged mountain landscape.

oak floors and walnut cabinetry to cedar-detailed ceilings and raw steel accents, organic elements deliver “a warm, cozy vibe derived from the earth,” explains principal Ezra Lee. With striking results, the team anchored the great room with a towering fireplace faced in steel panels and filled the soaring ceiling’s tray detail with lightly stained cedar. Taylor repeated the steel elsewhere, including the entry’s ceiling cloud and the kitchen’s range hood. “It’s a nice gradation of material,” he says. The designer delivered large scale and memorable lighting to the great room by grouping three organically shaped pendants above the main sitting area. “These allowed me to introduce a gold finish to the home,” says Taylor, who also included polished nickel, black, chrome, bronze and satin brass in his mix of finishes. “These contribute to the decor’s collected design.” Masterfully grouped paintings and vignettes created from Meg’s treasured art collection do the same. “Their placement is more contemporary and the pieces are more traditional,” he says. “This helps bridge the interior’s contrasting styles.” The yin and yang of modern and traditional created throughout the main level suits

There it was: a private six-bedroom ski-in/ski-out home nestled in towering pines with jaw-dropping views of Deer Valley and beyond. To onlookers, it appeared a piece of mountain-living paradise. What more could a young family want in a vacation home? Something more livable and up to date, actually. “It was stuck in the ‘90s,” says McKenzie Dickson, senior designer with Denton House. “It had good bones, but it was outdated and not functional for the family.” With the exception of a recently renovated kitchen and main-level living area, the multi-level, 8,800-square-foot house featured floor after floor of spaces dressed in tired details and heavy, orange-toned timber bearing down on the décor at every turn. “It just felt heavy, bulky and closed off,” Dickson explains. Undeterred, the new homeowners were seduced by the home’s mountain-top privacy and breathtaking views. They also recognized the home’s Cinderella-like potential, so they hired Dickson and contractors Jackson & LeRoy

to transform the house into a modern, light-filled retreat with inviting, comfortable spaces that cater to their active family of five. “We walked each of the home’s four floors with the owners and discussed how they wanted each to function and feel,” Dickson recalls. Because the owners liked the freshly decorated look and feel of the recently remodeled kitchen and main-level living area, these spaces inspired the re-do of the rest of the home. “They wanted the light, modern style of these rooms throughout,” Dickson says. The team obliged with a plan that eliminated bullying wood elements, unwanted spaces, orange-stained accents and outmoded features. “It’s a great transformation of an outdated ski-lodge style home,” says Jeremy Jackson, principal of Jackson & LeRoy.

The results are evident the minute you step through the front door. Originally a lackluster landing space, the entry now showcases forest views and loads of natural light, courtesy of a new custom door teamed with a generously sized side window. “Privacy is not an issue, and the space needed more light,” Dickson explains. A newly paneled accent wall animates the space with dimension and a gray hue drawn from colors in the living room. A completely overhauled staircase connects these spaces as well as all of the home’s multiple levels. “It unifies the interior,” says Dickson, describing the revamped staircase.

deliver it,” Dickson explains. To flesh out the interiors, the designer followed her clients’ lead and chose light, neutral wall colors that vary slightly from floor to floor. Exceptions were made for the kids, who made more colorful choices for their own digs. The understated backdrop is a perfect foil for Dickson’s vivid tones, unfussy forms, luxurious fabrics and custom furnishing scaled to fit the mountain home’s voluminous spaces. In the lower-level great room, for example, she upholstered two custom sofas in deep blue velvet and cleverly placed them back to back to enable the family to comfortably watch movies or sit in front of the fire. Jackson & LeRoy raised the low ceiling as much as possible and fashioned beams to hide structural supports inside. On the poorly functioning bottom level, they eliminated a closed-off theater room and one of two bed-and-bath combinations to make space for an expanded game room furnished with a rust-toned sectional, large cowhide ottomans and a high-style secondary kitchenette. “The owners didn’t want to have to trek

ABOVE: “We opened some of the spaces on the lower levels to create a more open floor plan and multiple spaces where the family can gather with friends,” Jackson says. By removing an outdated theater room and unwanted bedroom, the team expanded the game room to make space for a handsomely equipped kitchenette, TV area and shuffleboard table. The wool rug inspired Dickson’s colors choices for the upholstery and sea stone quartzite countertops.

As so often happens with winning renovations, this project’s success led to changes beyond those original planned. “The owners loved the results so much, that they decided to update the exterior to keep pace with renewed interior,” Dickson says. Today, the revamped home—indoors and out— gives the owners as much pleasure as do the views and mountaintop setting that inspired them to purchase the house in the first place.

The Original
ZINGER
Ginger isn’t just for sushi and holiday cookies. The celebrated rhizome offers sweet spiciness, tangy freshness and a mellow warmth to foods of all kinds, making it the perfect addition to your autumn menu. Ready to get creative? BY M A RY BROW N M ALOU F
Cake offers a delicious alternative to the cookies we bake to satisfy our gingerbread craving. Pulled from the pages of “With a Measure of Grace” by Hell’s Backbone Grill, this recipe delivers the unique flavor that makes ginger one of our all-time faves. (Recipe on page 115)

DINING IN & OUT
MIGHTY GINGER
Available in many forms, ginger is a go-to for fabulous flavor.
GINGER ROOT Ginger is not a root, it is actually a rhizome. Buy a fresh piece of it in the produce department and store it in the freezer. When you crave the taste of fresh ginger, grate off as much as you need with a hard-cheese grater.
Ginger is the culinary equivalent of enthusiasm. Whether you’re using it in a savory or a sweet dish, its spicy aroma that seems to straight from the nose to the brain, is a wake-up call: Hey! Things are about to get interesting! Put the ginger flower in a vase; in the kitchen we use the rhizome of the plant which is from a family—kind of amusingly—called Zingiberaceae. (Emphasis on zing!) Ginger has
been used for more than 3,000 years as a spice and a medicine. Of course it always gets the spotlight come the holidays— gingerbread architecture is an increasingly refined and complex art—just take a look at the building featured on the cover of Salt Lake magazine in 2018. Here, along with Thai, Indian and Vietnamese cuisines, ginger is getting more and more popular as a main-course spice.
CRYSTALLIZED GINGER Diced ginger root is cooked in sugar syrup until the sugar crystallizes. Use it in baking or dip it in melted dark chocolate for an after-dinner palate refresher.
POWDERED GINGER
GINGER AIL
Ginger has always been used as a medicine—eagerly taken because it tastes so good. The list of benefits is long. Let’s just say right here that Utah Style & Design neither promotes or promises relief from using ginger medicinally. • Relieves air, sea or carsickness, morning sickness—nausea or an unsettled stomach in general. • Ayurvedic medicine claims ginger boosts the immune system. • Rub ginger on the skin as a mild analgesic. • Eat ginger to aid circulation.
114
U TA H S T Y L E A N D D E S I G N | FA L L 2 0 2 0
• Helps calm cold symptoms by acting as an expectorant. • Acts as an anti-spasmodic, relieving menstrual cramps. • Like aspirin, lowers body temperature. • Has anti-inflammatory properties which may ease arthritic pain.
The rhizome is dried and ground. Find this in the spice department and use it in all kinds of baked goods. (Tip: A tiny pinch added to yeast doughs at the beginning will speed up their rise.)
PICKLED GINGER This is traditionally used as a palate refresher during a sushi dinner, but it’s also wonderful slivered into green salads or chicken salad.
Jen Castle and Blake Spalding, Hell’s Backbone Grill & Farm
Let Them Eat Cake Hell’s Backbone Grill takes gingerbread beyond conventional cookies Gingerbread cookies—the hard kind you make those big houses out of—are mildly edible. But ginger snaps are great. Best of all, we think, is gingerbread cake, the ideal fall dessert. One of the best in Utah comes from the kitchen at Hell’s Backbone Grill. Here’s the (slightly modified) recipe from their first cookbook, “With a Measure of Grace.” Available, along with the second volume, “This Immeasurable Place,” at local bookstores or at hellsbackbonegrill.com.
Ginger Street’s Steamed Pork Dumplings
ON THE MENU
Where ginger takes root, bold flavor follows.
GINGER STREET
TAKASHI
Steamed Pork Dumplings: Napa cabbage, scallions, ginger and sweet chili-soy sauce. 324 State St., SLC, 801-477-4975, gingerstreet.com
Takashi’s Okinawan Noodle Soup garnishes a rich broth with egg noodles, pork belly, sliced scallions and pickled ginger. 18 W. Market St., SLC, 801-519-9595, takashisushi.com
VESSEL KITCHEN The ginger vinaigrette on the Billy Jean salad is an inspiring idea to keep in your own recipe file; Vessel also spices its pulled pork with serrano pepper and ginger. 905 E. 900 South, SLC, 801-810-1950, vesselkitchen.com
THE BAYOU A great post-beer sweet: Two ginger snaps with vanilla ice cream to soothe the spice. 645 S. State St., SLC, 801-961-8400, utahhbayou.com
Ingredients: 3 cups flour 2 tsp. soda 1 tsp. salt 3 tsp. ground ginger 1 ½ tsp. cinnamon 1 t sp. ground chile powder (we like New Mexican chile powder, if you can find it)
1 ½ sticks butter 2 eggs 1 ½ cups molasses 1 ¼ cups boiling water 2 T bsp. chopped crystallized ginger 1 T bsp. grated fresh ginger 1 c up chopped pears for optional topping
Butter a 9 x 13-inch pan. Place a rack in the middle of oven; preheat to 350 degrees. Mix the dry ingredients together. Beat butter until soft, then add sugar and eggs. Stir in the molasses, then the dry ingredients and mix until thoroughly combined. Stir in water slowly. Add crystallized and grated ginger. Bake about 40 minutes. When cool, cut into squares. To gild the lily, serve the gingerbread topped with warm caramel sauce and whipped cream, or vanilla or coffee ice cream, or sautéed pears or apples. Or savor as it is, right out of the pan and into your mouth.
