Imbue Design in collaboration with builder Andrew Parker has created this modern mountain home to integrate into the natural topography of Park City, Utah. The dwelling is nestled gently into the mountainside. Broken into three living volumes, each a half-flight above or below the next, the home makes for easier living, lower excavation and retaining costs, and minimized site disturbance and vegetation impact. Inside, you will find 5,000 square feet of living space with a wonderful indoor-outdoor connection.

What We Love: This Park City home offers its inhabitants light-filled living spaces with large windows that frame the most breathtaking views of the rugged mountainscape. Integrated beautifully into the landscape affords this home an abundance of privacy, the way it steps down the mountainside. We are especially loving the lift-n-slide doors in the living room, opening the space out to the fresh mountain air and unforgettable views.
