Happy Valentine’s Day!
Continuing with our tour beyond the fort wall, if you step into the archway this is what you will see! I used several different exterior materials including stucco walls, inset tile, galvanized railing, wooden shutters, siding, a copper chimney, and a wooden door with a hand forged grate. I love the eclectic feel this creates for my place of work.

As promised… a look beyond the fort wall and into the studio! We start with the conference room. The studio is a remodel of a home that was originally built in the 40′s. I wanted to keep much of the original space. This room originally had only 2 windows. To add more light I moved windows from other areas of the home, one from where I created the front door and one from the North wall where a fireplace now sits.
The cornice piece below is from a bank in downtown Salt Lake that was once on the corner of South Temple and State Street. I went to the demolition site and pulled it from the wreckage as I love all things historical.

To infuse architectural elements into the space I used shapes with meaning and significance. By using a round table a feeling of unity is created, the spherical light fixture continues the symbol of wholeness and unity.

Every space should reflect its owner. The three pieces of art above the flat screen are framed sketches, from a project on intercity row houses, that I worked on while in school at the University of Utah.

If you are local you may recognize Robert McArthur Studios. After introducing you to my team I wanted to show you where we work. I renovated a home that was in the historic Fort District of Bountiful to become our studio. Here you can see the wall that sits just west of our studio. I wanted to keep with the tradition of the Fort District! More pictures to come.
