High above the valley with a sweeping view of Salt Lake City, this modern home is a striking example of natural flow. The welcoming entry seems to direct visitors into the artfully angular living room. You are automatically drawn to the end of the room and the reading nook with its personal city view. Cooking activity makes the visitor naturally turn right and wander through the formal dining area and into the kitchen area. When enough people have taken this route, picking up friends along the way, the result is a fabulous entertainment experience in the art filled family room or on the spacious deck with its spectacular views of the Salt Lake valley.

What makes this a truly inspired design is that the passive solar design of the home creates a similar, involuntary energy flow. The brick fireplace is actually a Trombe wall absorbing heat during the day and dispensing it in the evening. The balconies and vaulted angles actually serve as air flow vents distributing the heat and circulating the interior air. In the summer, closing the bottom blinds helps the brick distribute cool air throughout the home. From a practical standpoint, this 3,647-square-foot home has an average monthly gas and electric bill of $70 and $52 respectively.

The angles of the home are mirrored in the weaving design of the stair railing. The master bathroom has all the European touches with marble flooring, an open shower and whirlpool tub. Artful sconces and fixtures combined with mirrors provide even and playful light.

Privacy abounds with a top-floor master bedroom and separate top-floor library. The garden level bedrooms and family room are perfect for children and overnight guests. If desired, adults can separate themselves from the children?s raucous activities in the lower level family room by simply closing the glass sunroom door. The noise seems to disappear, but visibility remains.

Great design provides for a natural and effortless movement of energy. From your heating and cooling to your friends and family, the Mahyera home generates energy around every corner.
