RKD Architects shared with us a house they designed in Park City, Utah, consisting of three units, each featuring a curved window wall that tilts outward.

The home, surrounded by the Wasatch Mountain Range, includes a variety of natural materials such as cut limestone walls and wood beams.

The main social areas of the home feature an open design, with the kitchen, dining area, and living room oriented towards the views. In the living room, the concrete floors blend seamlessly with the concrete fireplace, while the hanging chair and the bench along the windows provide additional seating.
