About This Project

The Challenge

The goal was to create a classic coastal craftsman home set in the Rocky Mountains—blending a light, coastal aesthetic with a climate known for harsh winters. The exterior needed to be low maintenance and highly durable, while the interior had to support a large, active family, including space for pets, vehicles, and significant food storage.

The Approach

The home was thoughtfully organized into functional zones to support the family’s day-to-day living. With six bedrooms and four-and-a-half baths, the layout provides ample space for both gathering and privacy.

Highly functional spaces were a priority. A large laundry and mudroom sits just off the garage, and a generous pantry—designed with two aisles and room for additional freezers—supports bulk storage needs. A built-in dog house with direct backyard access was incorporated for convenience and ease of care.

The lower level expands the home’s livability, featuring a theater room, playroom, workout space, and an additional family room.

For the exterior, we selected cementitious siding, shingles, and board and batten to achieve the coastal look while ensuring long-term durability in the Utah climate. An attached four-car garage with a car lift, along with a separate two-car garage, provides plenty of space for vehicles, recreational equipment, and storage.

The Result

The finished home successfully balances form and function—delivering a tailored design that supports the homeowners’ lifestyle while maintaining a cohesive coastal craftsman aesthetic.

Interior details such as layered moldings, coastal-inspired paint colors, glass transoms, and a custom staircase add character and refinement throughout. The result is a home that feels both elevated and livable, designed to perform beautifully in its mountain setting.

After seeing several of Lisa’s projects I knew that I wanted her expertise as we were building our home. She has impeccable taste and a sophisticated design eye that elevates the feel and look of each space. From flooring selections and layout design to choosing the perfect furnishings, her recommendations were thoughtful, cohesive, and beautifully tailored to our space. The end result feels timeless and perfectly suited to our lifestyle.
