A home we designed for a homeowner in Park City. The site was located in a equestrian development so the home was designed to fit in as if it were part of a larger barn complex. There is an indoor endless pool and a large guest suite over the garage. This home is within sight of the ski runs so of course there is a large ski prep area in the back of the garage to keep the skis in shape for the slopes.

The Upper Level accomodates the guests and open area for a home office. Sunsets from the lookout will be unbeatable over the desert. This space will also be a fun hideout for the Grandkids. If you want to use this, or any of our plans free of copyright infringement, we have affordable and easy licensing options whether or not you use our full design services.

The latest in the Gravitas Design Series: The Gallatin
The Gallatin plan below is a home we designed for a client in Idaho. This is an efficient single level plan with very modern lines and contemporary building materials. The Owner’s Suite has a large split bath with integrated walk in closets. The Owner’s baths share a connection through the steam shower. The materials for this project speak to the high desert site and the low western roofline is a response to the need for protection from the late afternoon sun and rangeland fires that can blow in from the west. Many of you are familiar with our log and timberframe vernacular but every once in a while we want to show you something differnet from our varied design experience.
Our scope of work runs from design through construction drawings and can include site analysis, permitting, HOA approvals, stamped engineering, interior design, renderings, animations and sun shadow studies. If you would like to use our plans in your marketing material we can personalize the plan book to include your company logo and information. We have just introduced a new format that includes links to a fly around movie of each plan and professional renderings. This provides a way to increase your presence in the industry and instantly upgrade your marketing efforts at no cost to you. Please contact us for more information on this service, for “paper specs” or visit our FAQ page online for more details.

One of the many benefits of working with a 3D modeling program such as ArchiCAD, is the ability to see what the final product is going to look like.
All too often, the owner/contractor/Architect, doesn’t know exactly how something will look, until it is built in the field. By that time, any modifications become expensive, or impossible. Not only is the ability to communicate heightened through the use of 3D modeling, but the design is often better. The computer is a wonderful tool for the designer. The ease with which you can experiment, spin around the building or attachment, and explore the environment is worlds above what you can do on a flat piece of paper.
Since our founding in 2001, Gravitas has made it a commitment to use as many aspects of 3D computer aided design as possible. Our clients not only see what they will be moving into, not only can the builder better understand the scope of the work ahead, and the log/timber supplier completely outline their materials that they will be providing, but everyone can point to the same image, and be on the same page throughout the entire process. When all parts of the machine are working together, and have a common vision, it can only increase the quality of the end product, the enjoyment (if I can use that word) of the process, decrease the timelines and the costs, and result in a successful heirloom home.
This contemporary home was built in rural Idaho, to a couple interested in passive solar, and eclectic materials. The use of corrugated aluminum, raw concrete, and bountiful sunshine, fulfilled their desires, as well as ours.
