Inspiration

A collaboration between McGinnis Homes and Upwall on a private 65-acre property, where the architecture demanded glass that could hold up at every elevation — poolside, hillside, and across the roughly 70-foot glass bridge connecting the two ends of the home. That bridge became the defining experience of the project: black aluminum framing on both sides, full height, landscape at the end, and not one wasted step. Every wing opens to a different view, and every transition between them is made of glass. The project proved that a corridor does not have to be a utility space. In the right hands, the glass bridge is the best room in the house.

A full-home remodel in Park City, where the mountains were always there — the house just hadn't caught up to them yet. The goal was to open the home at every level — great room, kitchen, primary suite, and lower level — without compromising the mountain-modern aesthetic that anchors the design. Floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors replaced solid walls at every indoor-outdoor threshold, dissolving the line between living space and landscape. The 22-year-old home was reborn with modern touches, with many of the original windows and doors expanded to their full architectural potential. Roughly 90% of the home's windows now reach floor to ceiling, maximizing views, curb appeal, natural light, and overall desirability. Every floor of the home now reads the Wasatch ridgeline. The kitchen, previously closed to the south, opens across a vaulted ceiling to the range beyond. The primary suite wakes with the mountains — and from the great room, the glass makes the whole house feel like it's built into the hillside.

In the Southern Utah desert, a broad glass opening changes how a room experiences the outdoors. At Pointed View, the photography moves between sheltered interior spaces and the open air, letting the architecture frame light, texture, and distant terrain without losing its sense of refuge.

The Agave offers a quieter expression of desert architecture. Dark window frames give the elevation definition, while openings invite glimpses of the landscape into everyday spaces. The project photography emphasizes the way a view can become part of a room without asking the glass to dominate the architecture.

A mountain residence defined by deep rooflines, natural stone, warm timber, and expansive dark-framed glazing. The exterior photography follows the window and door systems from the sheltered front approach to the illuminated rear elevation.
