Morning Star Residence
This mountain home located in Deer Valley, Utah quietly unites the expansive natural surroundings with a sophisticated and comfortable architectural environment, redefining the experience of indoor-outdoor living. Private spaces are housed in a series of staggered stone pavilions that follow the ridge, while a central glass pavilion anchors the public areas, its movable glass walls opening to the landscape and reinforcing a direct connection to the sloping site.
The mountain modern architecture prioritizes flow and clarity, supported by a synchronized palette of materials that unify exterior and interior finishes. Selected in collaboration with WRJ, the material choices further enhance the home’s sense of fluidity and immersion in nature.
Despite the layered precision of its architectural elements, nature remains the focal point. Reflected in the pool overlooking the reservoir, the changing sky becomes an ever-present part of the experience, transforming the home into a living, breathing connection between earth, water, and sky.
