THE VISION

Harmonizing with Nature: The Vision for Velvære

The vision for the Velvære townhomes was to create a modern mountain living experience that seamlessly integrates with the surrounding natural beauty while embodying the community’s focus on wellbeing. Inspired by the principles of biophilic design, the architects sought to foster a deep connection between residents and nature. This approach emphasizes the use of natural materials, visual connections to the outdoors, and the creation of spaces that evoke a sense of tranquility and well-being. The choice of thermally modified Hemlock was central to this vision, not only for its inherent warmth and rich texture but also for its sustainable qualities. These luxury homes are designed for discerning individuals who appreciate both refined aesthetics, environmental consciousness, and a wellbeing-focused lifestyle, offering a luxurious yet responsible way to experience the unique charm of Park City and the immersive experiences of Velvære.

Interior Application

White Color Option: Brightens the space, creating an airy and inviting atmosphere.
Refined Aesthetic: Smooth texture and custom T&G profile contribute to a modern, polished interior design.

Design Considerations

Custom T&G Profile with 1/8″ Reveal: Delivers a sleek, contemporary appearance while simplifying installation.
Eco-Friendly Approach: AquaFir™ aligns with sustainable building practices by enhancing wood’s natural properties without harmful chemicals.

THE RESULT

This St. George residence showcases how the AquaFir™ product line can elevate residential design by combining form and function. The exterior Doug Fir ceilings, in driftwood color, provide lasting protection against the elements. The Doug Fir white interior ceilings enhance the living space with brightness and elegance. The custom T&G profile with a 1/8″ reveal adds a unique touch to both applications, creating a cohesive look throughout.
