Set within Victory Ranch, a luxury residential community located just outside of Park City, Utah, this 8,200-square-foot modern mountain retreat serves as a vacation home for a family of five from Chicago. Designed by Jennelle Butera of Park City-based Bloum Design, the entire aesthetic centers around cherished art and family relics.
“The design was deeply informed by the client’s family collections and a desire for a warm, inviting, and casual atmosphere, achieved through rich layers of texture and color. Curated furnishings in jewel tones, alongside the client’s art and relics, drove the entire palette, tone, and design aesthetic,” explains Jennelle.
The clients traded their original Victory Ranch cabin for this sprawling three-storey modern home in Kamas to accommodate their expanding family, which includes five bedrooms, six bathrooms, two powder rooms, two laundry rooms, a wine room, a games room, an office, and a sauna.

“My favorite element of the design process for this project was the creative problem-solving and the deep collaboration required to integrate my client’s history into their new home,” says Jennelle Butera.
Speaking of the pieces that defined the mood of the home, the clients explained, “We have a cherished collection of artwork that my family brought back from Pakistan, where we lived in the late 1960s. These pieces carry so much history and meaning for us, and when the home began to take shape, it felt as though the design was naturally drawing them in.”
And it’s these pieces that give the home so much heart, providing depth and resonance beyond materiality.

The mixed metal kitchen is a striking space that showcases the craftsmanship of local artisans. The oxidized rift oak kitchen cabinets work perfectly against the Bespoke Studio Zellige tile backsplash, with a gunmetal patina hood crafted by Handmade Industries.
“Most clients favor a hood insert at the range, a preference that allows for creative freedom to customize the hood design and finish. The aesthetic is preserved by planning for the client’s collection of handmade pottery (made by her mother) to be showcased in the clear glass-door upper cabinets,” explains Jennelle.
The contrast of modern finishes and handmade craft creates a contemporary space full of soul — each element, from textures to the pops of red and flashes of green foliage, comes together to create a modern kitchen that sings.

The modern living room has stunning mountain views, and it was these views that drew the client to the location. “The sheer beauty of the landscape and the intimacy of the setting made the decision for us. We never looked back,” they explain.

“The challenge we faced was achieving a balanced and architecturally resonant feature in the great room,” says Jennelle. “The fireplace design underwent extensive refinement in collaboration with Berg Design Studio and McNulty Construction.
“The final design seamlessly incorporates the client’s statue from Indonesia and custom pedestal. For the surround, we curated a sophisticated material palette to speak the language of the architecture, featuring the contrast of blackened steel and leathered granite with subtle accents of brass and a smooth plaster finish.”

Each space in the home is the result of a series of successful partnerships — the designer, the clients, the stylist, the architects, the construction team, and the local artisans — each had an important role to play, and all the elements come together in perfect harmony.
“We trusted Bloum completely,” say the clients. “They worked closely with our architectural team from the very beginning, and that collaborative confidence meant there was very little second-guessing along the way.”

The banquette seating in the kitchen is both Jennelle’s and her clients’ favorite space in the home. “It was actually added later in the building process, and I’m so grateful we made room for it,” explains the client. “Every morning, I sit there with my coffee, work on my travel business, and look out over the sweeping views of Deer Valley. It’s become my favorite ritual in this house.”
Anchored by a custom Greg Palombo table with an Urban Electric Dome Pendant hanging above, along with art from the client’s existing collection, the space was created by repurposing exterior square footage from the original architectural plans and serves as the ideal everyday retreat. Much like the rest of the home, this light-filled setting is both sophisticated and cozy, oozing endless character and warmth.

These modern bathrooms are an example of the effortless use of contrast in design that can be seen throughout the home, where light meets dark, and new meets old, in a perfect marriage of juxtapositions.
And it’s this balance of juxtapositions that makes this elegant home work so well — historical elements inform modern design, while sleek, contemporary architecture integrates seamlessly with natural finishes and textures. The result is a timeless sanctuary that tells a story — both of the past and how we live today.
