Breathtaking views are a large part of the experience,
and Jenson focused on creating this impact
in both interior and exterior spaces. Curvilinear
shapes appear throughout the residence: in the
doorways, tray ceilings and two rotundas, all
developed, in part, from the use of curved windows
that significantly enhance the view.
“It’s probably the best view in St. George. It’s a
275-degree unobstructed view from the top of a
stone cliff,” Jenson says.

Natural finishes like tumbled-brushed marble from
Spain, walnut hardwood flooring and all-natural
stone on the eight fireplaces internalize this beauty.
In some spaces, the mountains not only inspired the
colors and materials, but also the designs.
Artist Juergen Dzierzon, who is known for his work in
Mormon temples, etched the view of palm trees and
mountains seen from the back of the house into the
hand-blasted glass shower walls in the master bath.
On the garage doors, artist Mike Dumas replicated
landscapes of Zion National Park - photographed
by Jenson – using varying tones of
copper inlays.
With 300 sun-drenched days a year and mild
temperatures, by Utah standards, the home isn’t
merely an observer of nature. For fair-weather
days, a retractable glass wall opens the family
room to the patio and outdoor kitchen, and the
master bedroom connects to an outdoor shower.
