Surrounded by open space on a quiet cul-de-sac in coveted Cedar Draw Estates, you will find one of the most exceptional and rare Park City homes. Wanting a home that "fed them energetically", the homeowners researched the design and construction of straw bale homes and engaged renown architects Constantino Grand Jacquet and Jack Thomas to help in the design and construction. The 1.36-acre homesite is private, and offers exceptional views of Deer Valley ski runs, the iconic McPolin White Barn and according to local arborists, has its own microclimate unlike other areas of Park City. Not big on size but grand in design, they curated a magical sustainable home that is not only healthy, efficient, and enduring but offers finishes and furnishings customized to natural recycled elements and historic materials. There are doors made from centuries old redwood recycled from wine fermentation tanks in Napa Valley, Douglas fir trusses crafted from the Great Salt Lake Union Pacific Railroad, glass and brass fixtures from England, and one of the original banisters from Bennett Paint and Glass salvaged from the historic landmark in downtown Salt Lake. Gently undulating walls of lime plaster provide warmth, flexibility, and great thermal performance around soft round corners. The house gives off a certain energy, and ambiance. It is warm, is aesthetically pleasing, has perfect acoustics, and benefits from south and southeast exposure where intimate spaces capture the sunlight. No aspect of this home has been overlooked from the design, the construction and the selection of natural, recycled and high-end materials. The chef's kitchen is equipped with commercial grade appliances, offers a large center stainless island, sandblasted granite surfaces and in-kitchen dining creating a casual and comfortable entertaining experience. The cabinets are what is considered as Baltic ply, known for high quality, strength and stability.
