Perched atop a ridge line overlooking the Wasatch Mountain range, this home takes advantage of expansive views in two directions.  The layout of the spaces is organized around a central staircase capped by a monumental skylight.  Excavations into the textured stone base of the house creates an architectural and material counterpoint to the crisp, zinc metal-clad upper level.  Responding to the expansive views, the main spaces include floor-to-ceiling sliding doors to allow for unencumbered indoor/outdoor living.
