Wabi Sabi Residence, Emigration Canyon, Salt Lake City, Utah

Located in Emigration Canyon just above Salt Lake City, this home designed for a young family celebrates a uniquely elevated canyon view with a rare and direct connection to nature. As a result, the homeowners enjoy framed views of the mountain vista at every turn, with unparalleled indoor/outdoor connections.

The home’s dramatic architecture is separated into two volumes that float above the landscape, each of which are finished with a blackened stain in the tradition of wabi sabi.

The north volume is oriented along an east-west axis, to address the tranquil mountain views to the north, and includes the home’s more private areas.

Designed to achieve Gold LEED Certification, the grading for the home has been integrated with the site topography to encourage the existing storm run-off to remain as unchanged as possible.

These passive strategies were analyzed and implemented in this home’s design to minimize energy usage and further embed the client in the local climate.
