We’re delighted to be part of Salt Lake Design Week’s Studio Crawl again this year. If you’ve ever wondered what exactly an architect does, or would like to see what projects we have on the boards, or would just like a bite to eat and a little conversation, please come by! We’d love to see you. (more…)

When designing a building, the context and surrounding landscape are often the greatest considerations in positioning a building on its site. The landscape can drive a structural form, suggest a palette of materials, and root a building to its unique place and time. This is why, as architects, it is important to consider landscape design and the outdoor rooms just as we might consider the structure of the building or the indoor spaces. (more…)
On Friday afternoons, we meet as an office for design review meetings. We each take a turn coming up with the topic for the week, whether it’s presenting a project on the boards, developing an idea on our minds, or visiting a project under construction. Basically, anything that helps us gain new perspectives for our work is fair game. For last week’s design review, we left the office to attend Salt Lake Mayor’s Green Team Meeting.

For ages, I’ve been meaning to post about houzz.com as a valuable resource for those gearing up for a remodel or planning a new home. It’s a well-organized resource that allows the user to create idea books right on their website. Users can browse the site by filtering for individual rooms and spaces (“home office,” “patio,” “kitchen”) and style (“contemporary,” “eclectic,” etc.) and then save any images to individual idea books. We’ve created idea books on their site and have enjoyed searching the reservoir of images that are readily available (most are uploaded to the site by architects and interior designers). Beats tearing apart magazines, though I still have plenty of those kind of images in my files, too. And clients have sent us links to their own idea books to help us better understand their tastes and preferences.
So, we were excited when Houzz.com contacted us about featuring the Logan Canyon House for their most recent Houzz Tour:
