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.
