It’s officially the best time of year: The weather is cooling down, candles with pumpkin scents are appearing on shelves, and best of all, the Park City Area Showcase of Homes is back! For those uninitiated to this highly anticipated tradition, the Showcase of Homes is an open-house style tour of the most prestigious and expertly crafted homes along the Wasatch Back. The Presenting Sponsor this year is Sierra Pacific Windows, and they, along with the rest of our wonderful sponsors, help make each of these featured houses one-of-a-kind works of art.
The tour is open to anyone who wants to buy a ticket, but it’s an especially cool experience for those who are considering purchasing or building their own dream home near some of Utah’s most stunning mountains and natural views. The homes selected for the showcase have to meet a certain criteria for craftsmanship, style, design and for how seamlessly they fit into their surroundings and accentuate the beauty that’s already there. Their styles range from rustic mountain cabins with reclaimed rock fireplaces, to modern open concepts with floor-to-ceiling windows.
This year’s exhibition is also going to offer a brand new virtual Architectural and Design Showcase to all ticket holders. This program is an exciting new way to think about building homes. Instead of finding a plot of land and then searching out an architect to build on that plot, this program lets you pursue the best architects in the area and see their designs and style via virtual layouts and blueprints. When you find a style or designer that you love, you can work with them from the ground up to create your dream home.
The showcase is open for two extended weekends this year from August 23-25 and from August 30-September 2. If you’re wondering where to start your home tour journey, here are a few great ways to kick it off: Home number 1, built by Big Canyon Homes will be serving tacos on both Saturdays and Sundays. Home number 2, built by Branham & Co, is fully handicap and wheelchair accessible. Home number 5, built by Vitruvius Built, is offering an immersive experience with live music, golf cart transportation, curated artwork, mountain biking experts and a local chocolatier. And home number 9, built by Stonybrook Homes, is hosting a golf simulator closest-to-the-pin competition with weekly prize winners.
