Perched atop Empire Pass, this residence is located in Red Cloud—one of Deer Valley’s most desirable ski-in, ski-out communities offering to-die-for views in every direction. The setting is astonishing both in its beauty and in the inspiration it offered the design team. From the outside, the large wood, glass and stone house mimics its surroundings with soaring peaks and a monumental, grounded form. The interiors demonstrate a Taliesin-esque modern craft aesthetic which is artisanal, forward, elevated, and comfortable. The complete design is a marriage of architecture and earthy toned materiality as seen in interior stone walls and expansive windows that balance the mass created by the fireplaces and wood floors, ceilings, and cladding. The soft curve and rounded shapes of select furnishings and fixtures are stylized takes on nature that lend softness to the architecture’s hard lines and sharp angles, fostering a warm and welcoming ambiance. Understated moldings allow the focus to be on the woodgrain, color and design of the doors they frame. Whether through color, scale or “look-at-me” detailing, design elements were selected to complement rather than detract from the home’s million-dollar views.
