Some mountain dwellers swaddle themselves in neutral, monochromatic décors, but the owners of this Promontory home featured in High Drama had other plans. They craved color, and designer Kristin Rocke responded in spades. Taking her inspiration from the surrounding landscape and sky, she punctuated the interior with bold hues and matched them with dramatic design elements. Photographer Scot Zimmerman snapped many photos of the home, and we’ve gathered some of those that didn’t make it into our print feature story. Prepare to be dazzled.

In the hands of interior designer Kristin Rocke, Inouye Design and Greg Young Construction, this new Promontory residence showcases striking architecture and a daring décor that animate the Park City home. “Our clients told me that they wanted to see color, they wanted to see drama,” Rocke explains. Mission accomplished.

Floating vanities, brass accents and a palette of dark and light give a spacious bathroom big style and striking dimension.

In the lower-level family room, Rocke designed the broad fireplace to feature a combed-plaster face, illuminated Cristallo quartzite surround, and a terrazzo hearth that extends to form a floating bench. Detailed plaster work is by Iconography.

Rocke painted the bunk room’s bunks with Sherwin-Williams’ Frank Blue and dressed the ceiling inset above in a colorful abstract paper. The lower bunks are queen-size while two twin beds offer additional sleeping space on the upper platform.
