L01 Harvest Park

Summit Construction's L01 in Harvest Park

It is always a pleasure to show off our latest homes. Here is one we completed this last month in Harvest Park. This particular home has a ton of character. The Craftsman style was implemented with minute detail in this newly built home.  

 

Here, the home is shown with the beautiful geometric shapes, emphasizing horizontal lines even though it is a two story home. This home has a beautiful wrap around porch, which gives it a classy bungalow feeling. The exterior is a monochromatic blue color scheme, a refreshing change from the warm neutrals typical of Utah Valley.

 

As you approach the home, you may notice the geometric ornamentation is continued in the entry way in the windows and glass detail in the door window as well. The transom and clerestory windows above add lighting in the day and the light fixture creates a fantastic center piece to this large entry space. 

The ceiling height reaches up to the second floor. Upon entering the home, there is a beautiful staircase that leads up to the second level of the home. To the left of the entry is a living room with a rich deep red hardwood floor that continues throughout the main walkways and up the stairs. 

In the upper level the hall wraps around to the master bedroom. This room has some really interesting space. The dormer windows on the house cause varying ceiling levels which creates an intriguing atmosphere. The wall color is a cheery "Golden Ecru" by Pittsburgh that adds to the character of this particular room. 

The master bathroom has a large amount of space with the master tub, shower, double sink area and water closet. For the cabinets, they chose another rich color that coordinates well with the tile, wall color and is cohesive to the rest of the interior selections. In the center, the cabinet reaches to the ceiling to define the space between the two sinks, and to add storage space. The closet in the master bedroom is large and full of functionality.  

This area has a double sink and large mirrors, with extra cabinet and counter top space. The area is part of a bathroom space, but is about 10 x 6 feet just for this "getting ready" space. The shower and toilet are in a separate adjacent room. This has been a more functional use of space that we have created in our floor plans for an increasing amount of people.

Down the hall from the master suite is the laundry room. This room is designer quality. The track lighting gives an exciting feeling to the space. Cabinets have been installed all around the perimeter of this room, utilizing the space perfectly. The paint color for the laundry room is River Reed by Pittsburgh Paint.

From a design standpoint, the work space in this room is wonderful, the sink is on the left of the washer and dryer. Then, across from the washer and dryer is the large counter top space that can be used for folding clothes. It is a large enough space to allow for working, but it is small enough to do things comfortably.

Still on the upper level, there are two bedrooms. The walls are a cool gray with contrasting white trim. This paint color is called Flagstone by Pittsburgh Paints. Notice even the ceiling is the same color as the walls, this is seen in the rest of the home as well. Often, homeowners will choose to do the ceiling in a lighter color than the walls to open the space up. It is fun to see something a little different than usual, it gives the room a finished look, especially with the crown trim defining the space. Each of these bedrooms also have walk in closets, with one room showing floor to ceiling height built in cabinets.

This home has many beautiful details, as we move from the second level of the home back down to the main floor, we have discovered some details that make this home wonderful. On the main floor, we have the mudroom, the main living and dining space, and kitchen that we have yet to explore.
Pictured below is the mudroom and entry from the garage. This area is a great drop zone for shoes, coats, etc. when the family comes home from daily activities. The tile floor will help maintain longevity for the hardwood floors, since the garage entry will most likely be a high traffic area. There is also a bathroom conviniently located right off the garage entry as well.







A door separates the mudroom area from the rest of the main floor to keep a formal atmosphere. The living room is a spacious beautiful area with the fireplace centered in the room. This room is about twenty seven feet long including the great room, and dining. It is connected to the kitchen area which is another fifteen foot area. So, given those dimensions, it is a good large living space.


This fireplace mantle is stained the same as the cabinets to match the wood floor. It was crafted to be a simple shaker style with the minimalistic, but classic approach. The wood floor in this area really shows its character as it plays off of the above lighting and matching fireplace.  The surround is a coordinating tile set around the firebox, it creates a finished touch.






Lighting above the fireplace sets the area up for a beautiful picture, should the homeowners chose to use it that way, or is wired for a television set to be useable in that space as well. Outlets are placed close to the fireplace to assist in any electrical needs, be it lamps, entertainment systems etc.

  Here is a picture showing the large living space, with the great room, kitchen and dining room all together. The traffic flow of this space is well laid out. The high traffic areas have the hardwood floors, and the comfortable space is carpeted. This is a smart thing to take into consideration when building and helps you save money in the long run, you won't have to replace the areas as often. Carpet in a large space like this is also a good idea because it helps to dampen the sound. When you have large open areas, and all hard surfaces, the sound will echo more, carpeting helps offset that.

 The kitchen has some incredible light fixtures that bring that industrial aspect into the home. It goes well with the dark floor, and black and white cabinets. For the counter tops, this granite is one with a lot of character. It has large crystals that alternate between an amber gold-brown and a creamy beige.

 

Continuing down to the lower level, there is a fun transition of color at the bottom of the stairs where the "Golden Ecru" and the "Flagstone" colors meet. The basement, although it may seem cooler, really brightens up during the daylight hours. Daylight basements are one of the features that we gladly implement in each of our Summit Construction homes.

 This basement family room is about 30 x 15 and offers a fun kitchenette tucked away in the corner. The cabinets are the same rich stain that was used in the upper level bathrooms and laundry. This will enliven the space and be a fun addition for the family to use. The kitchenette has room for a mini fridge, and microwave and includes a sink as well. Perfect for entertaining. There is also another bedroom on this level, similar to the upper level rooms.

This wraps up the highlights of this home, it has been a beautiful experience working on this and we love to be able to showcase the wonderful collaborative ideas of our homeowners and building team on this blog. These last pictures show the beautiful exteriors of this lot, landscaping is always included in our building package. We love completing the finishing touches. Thanks for viewing and please feel free to comment. Make sure to stay tuned, we have lots more homes to come.

Thanks again from all of us,

U5 Harvest Park

Here's a wonderful small family home we recently finished at Harvest Park in Mapleton. There are three bedrooms including the master bathroom and three bathrooms. This home has some fun additions that make it unique.

As you enter, on your right the front room has been turned into a hair salon for one of the homeowner's cosmetology career. The salon entry has large double doors that can be closed for privacy, or kept open for public access.


There are a bathroom and large closet linked to this room, perfect for company. The room is well lit, and gorgeous. There are elegant double-hung windows in the salon and beaded glass side-lights on the front door.

The bright light throughout this entry space really energizes the rich wood flooring. This floor is an engineered hardwood called Southwest Indigo, and has kind of a formal friendly vibe to it. It is one of my favorites.

Here's the hair washing station that was installed for the salon. The closet, you can see, has a good amount of storage space that will be great for product, and all necessary supplies. Then on the left is the guest bathroom. 

As you move into the main area of the home, there is a great open concept area for family space. Included in the space is the family room, kitchen and dining room. The elegant fireplace is the center of the home. Above the fireplace is wired for a flat screen television, to aid in entertaining within the space.

Once again, the space is beautifully lit with natural lighting. The home has a warm calming feeling to it, with the chosen surfaces, and colors.   The whole home is very light and bright throughout allowing room for creative decor and furnishings.



The fireplace is a traditional full mantle with legs. The tile they used in the inlay is an exquisite tile from Emser Tile that mimics the look of subway tile without appearing trendy.

 The tile is called "Classica"and it is a subtle off white with white grout. It shimmers a little as light hits it, which creates a polished glitter effect that I just love!

























Here, in the kitchen, the cabinets are painted bright white and somewhat staggered as they all reach to the ceiling. The stark modern white shaker style is softened by the crown molding above the cabinets. The Countertop used in the kitchen was a bright white quartz counter top that doesn't distract from the simple kitchen design.

The backsplash here is more of the fun Classica Tile that adds some textural variety to the bright white kitchen. This tile back splash is so intriguing. I believe this is a classy look that will continue to please the senses over time as some phases come and go with style.

The simplistic pendants hanging above the bar and dining area will provide a romantic setting in the evenings. It brings the room together as the lights create a middle plane of visual interest to the room. 

We make sure there is always an ample amount of power outlets since technology is so much a part of our lives. Notice the island has a functional power outlet making it a convenient use for appliances, or charging electronics.

Here is the master bedroom, just down the hall from the living room. This grand bedroom has more beautiful sash windows with the decorative cross patterned inlay. There is a large master bathroom and walk in closet at one end of the room, and the laundry room is conveniently placed around the corner from this room.

The carpet they chose for this home was an appealing "winter-mist" taupe-gray color. It is a cozy plush carpet that would be great in any room where a person would lay on the floor, or walk around with no shoes.

Inside the master closet there are lots of different functional areas provided for the best use of the space. Our finish work contractor does really well at implementing closet storage in our homes.

Here is the master bathroom. The master tub is inviting with a warm colored tile and a built in shelf to keep bath items. The graceful curve of the faucet and tub gives a sense of luxury. The shower has more of the warm tile look, with the fun decorative glass mosaic strip with blue accents.

Having three shampoo shelves in the shower is a really nice addition. You can never have too much storage space in a home. The shower is a good size with large glass opening that makes the whole bathroom look even larger as the mirror reflects the space.














The vanity is painted white shaker style with nickel sink fixtures, knobs and pulls. It has a beautiful granite white and gray counter top that brightens up the space. Two sinks in the vanity gives the master bathroom couple a good amount of space.





Continuing up to the second level of the home, the carpeted stairway has a fun look to it. The high ceiling with open walls helps let in light to the space and makes it feel grander. The pendant light hangs down in the center as a decorative accent.


One fun thing that Summit Construction builders do is turn stair space into a lighted crawl space that would be really fun for children.

This is a part of the upstairs bathroom. The same granite, hardware and cabinetry as the main bathrooms on the main level, maintaining cohesiveness.

This bathroom has a door that separates not only the vanity from the hall, but then the toilet and shower from the vanity as well -for increased privacy.

In these next few pictures we have the two upper level bedrooms. You can see that there are some fun uses of the space. The windows have been extended up the ceiling, which allows more wall space, but also gives added light to the room. Similar to a skylight, this also gives more privacy than using lower windows.

This room had a bump out to utilize more closet space, it gives the room an interesting shape. The lighting from the windows brightens up the space quite a lot reducing the need to use more electricity during the day.

It is always wonderful to finish up a new home, we enjoy working with our clients, and enjoy seeing the beautiful custom homes we create together. This is another beautiful home from Summit Construction. Thanks for viewing.
