Soul Retreat
Remodel
Salt Lake City, Utah
This East Millcreek retreat is a special one: it’s the project that houses Leslie and inspires her daily. Now over 20 years in the making, Leslie’s sycamore-shaded Craftsman home remains a deeply personal retreat where interiors and gardens function as one continuous narrative. Inside, the home reflects a collected and intentional approach to design, with layered interiors shaped by travel, memory, and family history. Designed for gathering, the home centers on an expansive dining space anchored by a 10-foot walnut table, paired with heirloom Chinese chairs and contemporary seating. The kitchen balances function and refinement with sculptural lighting, lava stone tile, and tailored finishes. Outdoors, winding paths, curated statuary, and mature plantings are complemented by a wisteria-draped pergola, pool, and barrel sauna. Together, the landscape and interiors form a layered environment shaped by time, memory, and craft.
