The American Society of Interior Designers has awarded Salt Lake City based Design Plus, Inc. and owner Kaye Christiansen Englert, the Intermountain Chapter award for Best Kitchen. The project is a new, modern home located in Holladay.

Anne-Marie Barton (AMB) Design’s quiet take on a mountain home remodel in Glenwild yields a soft and relaxing home environment.

When observing architecture, one can see how buildings mix the designer’s concept with the client’s decisions. To really observe a creative designer’s talent, the project has to be one where the client offers complete freedom, or the designer is also the client. Michael Upwall’s new offices in Sugarhouse afforded that opportunity.

A recent assignment took me to the top of The Preserve northeast of Park City to an elevation I would estimate at 9,000 feet.

The owner of the Utah Jazz is selling a home designed to entertain that has hosted people from throughout the Valley and around the world.

We may be landlocked in Utah, but that doesn’t mean the seaside doesn’t inspire us and our décors
