This Park City Property Boasts Stunning Views and Elevated Amenities<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Gated communities are not usually known for their architecture. Houses are often dated and ostentatious, with little connection to their surroundings. The Iluminus Group wanted to prove the stereotype wrong at a private enclave in Park City, Utah. The development firm hired CLB Architects to design a timeless residence that was simpler and more elegant than its neighbors\u2014though just as enormous\u2014and would appeal to potential outdoors-oriented buyers. \u201cTheir goal was to establish a new standard for thoughtful design in this part of Utah,\u201d CLB partner and architect Eric Logan explains. At the same time, the house would have over-the-top amenities like a climbing wall, sports court, bowling alley, and spa. CLB showed that these directives need not be contradictory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 4.9-acre site is on a steep slope in the Wasatch Mountains, thick with spruce, fir, and aspen trees. At 8,500 feet above sea level, the property has commanding views of the Park City Mountain resort and across a valley. CLB<\/a> approached the landscape with respect. Based in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and Bozeman, Montana, the studio has decades of experience designing high-end mountain residences and strives to honor the natural beauty of each location. \u201cWe take the notion of connecting with place very seriously,\u201d Logan says. \u201cWe\u2019ve been lucky to work on some incredible properties in the West, and we try not to screw them up. Sometimes I think, You should do nothing here and make it a park. But something will be developed there, so we do the best work we can.\u201d At the Park City site, CLB aimed to make the house as compact as possible given the extensive program and keep it from sprawling too far into the forest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CLB built the home, dubbed Monitor\u2019s Rest, into the hillside and designed an L-shape plan. Approaching from above, visitors enter a courtyard and see a structure that looks smaller than its 18,000 square feet. \u201cThe courtyard creates a quiet space where you can take in the sky and get oriented, and it also brings light into the home,\u201d Logan says. The building\u2019s exterior establishes the material palette used throughout: Croatian limestone, shou sugi ban cedar cladding, steel-framed windows, and a copper roof. Its simple form is designed to withstand the harsh winters; anything too expressive will leak or get scraped off in the snow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The experience of the enclosed, serene courtyard deliberately contrasts with the openness of the interior. A limestone foyer, the nexus of the two-story house, leads in three directions. You can turn right to go to the primary bedroom suite and the office or left to the living and dining areas. Straight ahead is a dramatic atrium with windows facing the forest and stairs leading down to the guest bedrooms and bowling alley. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

CLB oriented the common areas to the southwest, including a large patio with an indoor-outdoor pool, and you can ski in and out of a lower entrance that has a locker room. \u201cThe public part of the program explodes onto the hillside, and you connect with the slope and the environment,\u201d Logan says. Adds Sarah Kennedy, CLB principal and interior design director, \u201cYou\u2019re projected out onto the tree line and really sit with the forest.\u201d Spa and sports rooms are tucked in the back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CLB collaborated on the interiors with the client, Iluminus co-founder and creative director David Ostrander. Given the house\u2019s size, a main challenge was editing the material selection to create a focused aesthetic. Hemlock ceilings, oak floors, and walls of oak or Croatian limestone unify the disparate rooms. Kennedy cites the Zenlike primary bathroom\u2014composed simply of wood, stone, and black metal\u2014as emblematic of her firm\u2019s pared-down approach. Narrow mirrors hang in front of a window, so you can look out at the trees while brushing your teeth, and a freestanding wood tub creates a sense of calm. The limestone on the walls and floor appears seamless: \u201cIt\u2019s cut along the vein, so you don\u2019t read it panel to panel,\u201d Kennedy notes. The adjacent bedroom is similarly restrained, with oak paneling, a custom reeded-oak bed frame, a hanging leather chair, and a Gio Ponti brass mirror.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

At the back of the ground floor is a small tower. Since the house is built into the hillside, Ostrander wanted a pop-up perch where residents could take in 360-degree views. Measuring 19 by 19 feet, it has a wraparound balcony and references the forest-fire watchtowers found in national parks. \u201cIt\u2019s a little retreat that\u2019s whimsical and unexpected,\u201d Ostrander says. Warm and intimate, it practically begs for a kids\u2019 sleepover, though a floating fireplace, rosewood table, and Moroccan Mrirt rug make it plenty sophisticated for adults. Like the rest of the property, the tower is both fun and refined, and brings a whole new perspective to the neighborhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
