The building season is short in Park City. There was still snow on our site in May and there was snow again on our site by October. You can certainly build through the winter, but it's not ideal. It slows you down, and so the team has been racing to get "closed in" before the real winter weather arrives. (Park City Mountain Resort opens for the season on November 17.)
Right now, it looks like we'll be finished framing by early next week. We have our framing inspection scheduled with Summit County on Wednesday. Here's a progress shot of level three from last week:
This is the top floor of the house, which will house the kitchen, dining area, living room, terrace (which is where the above photo was taken from), and two bay windows. The far one is going to serve as a seat in the living room, and the closer one (on the right) is going to be a workspace area. In both cases, they're designed to orient you towards the trees and the mountain.
Overall, this was Mattaforma's design strategy -- to create a kind of introverted house. The windows facing the street are generally small and placed to frame very specific views of the landscape; whereas the windows facing the trees and mountain are generous. The intent was to always connect you with nature as you move throughout the house.
Sadly, PMH won't be available for rent this winter. But if you'd like to get on the list for next summer and winter, click here.

Our week of working remotely in the mountains of Utah has come to an end. Being on mountain time meant early mornings every day. But it also meant being able to enjoy the evenings, including sunsets like the one shown here at the top of Ensign Peak. This was my first time really experiencing the Salt Lake City area in the summer, and I'm grateful for the opportunity. It is a beautiful place, and one that still feels under the radar once you exclude its global draw as a ski and snowboard destination. I also had a great time capturing it on my camera. So I'm excited to share my latest NFT photography collection -- Utah. All of the photos were taken on my Fujifilm X-T3 (35mm) and can be viewed and purchased over here on Foundation.
