FAQ’S ABOUT ENCLAVE
What is the inspiration behind Enclave at Sun Canyon?
The inspiration for Enclave at Sun Canyon came from developer Steve Urry’s vision combined with the organic design philosophy of
renowned American architect Frank Lloyd Wright, who believed that a home should be “of” the mountain and not “on” the mountain.
The residences at the Enclave at Sun Canyon are architecturally designed to intrinsically blend with their natural surroundings.
Constructed of stacked stone, floor-to-ceiling glass and a combination of grass and metal roofs, the Enclave residences provide a
seamless indoor/outdoor living experience and feature spectacular down valley and mountain views.
Is this considered mountain contemporary design?
The design was inspired by the architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright and perfected by Utah native and design pioneer in our area,
Mike Upwall. Large windows and open floor plans seamlessly integrate Utah’s nature into your living experience.
Is it true that it costs more to build custom contemporary homes? Why?
Yes, building contemporary does cost more. The clean lines and open living spaces in contemporary architecture demand hidden
beams. This causes engineers and architects to design with more structural steel, which results in a more expensive structure even
before any of the finishes are selected. No trim is used to transition materials in this design which makes the process much more difficult
and requires true craftsmen to accomplish the seamless clean lines.
Does a flat roof work in ski country?
A flat roof is a great design in ski country if the home has been designed to support the extra weight of the snow. When designed
properly it reduces the amount of snow and ice that can slide off the roof causing problems below. It can also add insulation value to the
home and look beautiful in the winter.
