Awarded the National Association of Home Builders 2024 Home of the Year, the modern home serves as a lesson in materiality. Working with the owner, we developed a design palette comprised of eco-conscious products and materials such as formed concrete, Belgian brick, Shou Sugi Ban siding, slate and glass.
To meet the needs of Holladay’s growing community, EDA re-envisioned the Cottonwood Country Club clubhouse as a landmark destination in the Salt Lake valley, featuring contemporary amenities and modern design. The site offers enviable views of the nearby mountains and natural water features that flow through the site. Juxtaposed against this backdrop, the building stands solidly on a foundation of cast concrete, with an imprint of board-formed wood grain to evoke the surrounding woody landscape. A dramatic porte-cochere frames the entrance, inviting visitors into the stick-framed wood lobby. The interior of the building features central circulation, providing connection between dining, banquet rooms, decks, pools and tennis courts.
The design purposefully fits within its surroundings while being worthy of the Club's reputation. We began by developing a series of vignettes to demonstrate how our solution for the new concessions building could appeal to users without standing out or impacting the views. The enlarged concessions building features a full commercial kitchen and lounge area with an extensive green roof over a portion of the building and outdoor dining space. The existing competitive lap pool was replaced by a larger, updated six-lane competitive swimming pool with a zero entry for younger swimmers and interactive water spray.
