The Work

Ezra Lee designs and builds from one in-house team — architecture, interiors, and construction — and the firm's own positioning is "intentionally unconventional." The record supports it: modern-leaning homes shaped by their sites rather than a fixed house style. Signal Hill, their 6,000-square-foot Promontory ski cabin and the 2021 Park City Showcase People's Choice winner, pairs clean modern lines with French Roast Pella aluminum-clad glazing, spruce, corten steel, and dry-stacked stone, and trades one traditional master suite for four equally grand ones. Their 2025 Utah Valley parade entry, The Village (#16, Alpine), works at a larger register — 18,000 square feet with exposed timber and steel throughout, a sculptural guest house in custom angled glass, a 27-foot multi-slide door, and interiors layering 3D acoustic wall elements, chain-link curtain walls, and thin slate veneer. The firm even designs and makes its own furniture, sold through its Hue and Hem boutique in Alpine.

Scale

Their best-documented recent homes bracket the range: Signal Hill at 6,000 square feet, and The Village at 18,000 square feet with an official "over $5M" price range. The firm publishes no minimum project band — its inquiry form simply asks for your budget excluding the lot. The public record is an estate-scale record, topping out over $5M. If your project sits well below that, ask early how your project fits their current workload rather than assuming the design-build model scales down.

Why they're in the Utah 10

  • 2021 Park City Showcase of Homes People's Choice award for "Signal Hill," a 6,000 sq ft home in Promontory.
  • 2025 Utah Valley Parade #16, "The Village."
  • 5.0 rating on Houzz.
  • Vertically integrated — one firm accountable for design and construction.

Who they're a great fit for

Buyers who want one accountable team for design and construction — especially anyone who'd rather not manage an architect and a builder separately. A natural fit for modern-leaning projects where a single team keeps design intent and budget in the same conversation.
