Tree House - SLC

For cityhomeCOLLECTIVE owner Cody's Derrick's personal residence, we worked with Sparano & Mooney Architecture and builders Sausage Space to create a "best of both worlds" concept: the goal was to bridge the gap between condo/loft living and a ground-level home that included yard space and room to grow. As lead designer on the project, Cody worked collaboratively with Sparano & Mooney to ensure that a simple but imaginative layout served as the blueprint for a plethora of natural materials and a focus on the elements (water being the feature at the center of the home's footprint). Local craftsmen were hired wherever possible (in this case, for railings, cabinets, kitchen island, custom dining table, custom pigmented concrete, etc). For the interior design, we focused on a layered approach--from salvaged chandeliers and chairs to plants, books, art, etc.--that would add to the warmth of the open space and balance the newness of the project.
