This Utah Home Has Rock Climbing Walls and a Skate Ramp

Interior designer Stephanie Hunt’s seven-bedroom, 10-bathroom Park City, Utah, home is a grown-up, glammed-up, sophisticated version of a funhouse—it’s got so many surprises and delights at every turn. And believe it or not, she got the inspiration for the home on a freezing winter trip to Reykjavík, Iceland. “We were there for a quick weekend trip and I was struck by how the simple barn structures—very close together—looked like one unit. Because we’re art collectors I wondered what it would feel like to have each pod or pavilion, if you will, developed in a simple, honest architectural style, connected by halls and glass elements, with the halls serving sort of in-home art galleries,” she explains.

Just like the barn structures in Iceland, the home consists of seven barn-like buildings linked by long glass hallways. And because Stephanie and her husband are avid art collectors, they designated certain areas and corridors to feature their pieces and family heirlooms. “I really worked closely with our incredible architects and the rooms were designed specifically to accommodate very special collected and inherited pieces,” she says. “This also holds true for the wall spaces—balancing the desire for as much natural light as possible (Utah winters can be dark and gray) with protecting wall space for art.”

She was drawn to greens, blues, and yellows, which you can see throughout the space.
