MOUNTAIN MODERN HOMES

The Southeast has coastal waters and palm trees. The Northeast is known for its fall colors, and other local areas in the United States are rich in history. Every area of the country boasts its unique features that move and inspire its visitors and inhabitants. In Utah, we are home to five National Parks featuring both iconic desert landscapes and dramatic mountainous terrain. Indeed, the Wasatch Range - arguably the most spectacular mountain range in North America - is the backdrop of Sparano + Mooney Architecture's site-inspired mountain modern architectural style.

Our firm considers mountain modern architecture a very specific type of design. From Park City to Snowbird and Alta, and from Powder Mountain to Sundance and Deer Valley, we have made an art form of designing customized residential architecture within this spectacular mountain environment.

A key component of mountain modern architecture is an understanding that the mountains provide both the inspiration for great architecture and a backdrop to our experience of place. The mountain landscapes of the American West feature spectacular peaks rising above the beauty of the surrounding valleys, situated under a big sky. The winter snow caps give the impression of delicate clouds and the mountains transform each season for a dynamic backdrop to a dream home.

Your dream home, designed by Sparano + Mooney Architecture, will be inspired by the rugged Western mountain landscapes of the Wasatch Range. You will enjoy your custom home even more knowing that it was carefully designed around the concepts of passive and sustainable architecture. From our point of view, understanding place is the foundation of our design process for mountain homes in Utah.

The mountains are also an ideal base for outdoor activities year-round. Attractions here include the ski resorts that entice you year after year to experience the “greatest snow on earth”. In the summertime, the mountains offer plenty of trails for world-class hiking and mountain biking along with mountain peaks to climb in search of breathtaking vistas for spectacular photography or backcountry camping.

Design That Fits with Nature

Another key component of mountain modern architecture is to design homes that complement the natural context. Our designs do not compete with the landscape; rather, the mountains always take precedence. Our design team instead seeks to work with these incredible landscapes in a way that benefits both the environment and the property owner.

Our designs call for maximum sustainability and an approach to passive house design. However, through a subtle relationship that integrates interior spaces with exterior experiences, we also seek to fuse natural and constructed environments and materials found only in Utah. Our residential design emphasizes spectacular views, natural light, and that feeling of bringing the outdoors in.

Our architects at Sparano + Mooney Architecture are passionate about what we do. Our passions lie in creating timeless modern architecture within the spectacular beauty that is Utah. We are privileged to combine both when we design custom residential properties for our clients. We pour our heart and soul into every home we design. As a client, you will be rewarded with a legacy home that will endure for generations.

If you are intrigued by the concept of mountain modern architecture, we would love the opportunity to speak with you. Sparano + Mooney Architecture designs custom residential homes throughout the Wasatch Front and Wasatch Back region in Utah, including sites throughout Park City, Summit County, Sundance, Powder Mountain, Alta and Deer Valley.

We believe this particular area of Utah is one of the last best places in the nation to live in a location surrounded by natural beauty. If you agree, let us work together to create the mountain retreat you have always dreamed of. Here is where the breathtaking palette of nature meets modern design to give birth to a stunning home not found anywhere else. Mountain living, redefined.
