The Work

McEwan builds estates — the firm's own Parade copy describes Oxford Road Estate as "full estate" living, built for everyday living and large-scale entertaining. The amenity lists read like a resort's: a glass-floor basketball court, a bowling alley, a golf simulator, a main-floor theater, an amphitheater, a 7v7 soccer field, and a hillside water feature feeding the pool and cabana. Their 2026 parade entry, Oxford Road Estate in Provo, is the formula at full expression: 26,573 square feet, 10 bedrooms, steel windows and doors, architecture by Broadbent and interiors by Studio McGee — whose stated aim was rooms that feel warm, layered, and inviting even at that scale. The firm's tagline is "The Difference is in the Details," and the work bears it out: meticulously crafted material palettes on homes whose common denominator is scale.

Scale

Their 2026 parade entry measured 26,573 square feet and carried an official price range of "Over 5 mil" — and it is not an outlier. By trade-press account, McEwan's homes are often over 10,000 square feet: a 16,000-square-foot Judge's Choice winner in 2014, a 22,872-square-foot Park City showcase in 2019. The firm states no minimum project size, but nothing in its public record suggests it builds below estate scale. If your project is a conventional custom home rather than a true estate, you'd be asking an estate builder to work beneath the only scale it has ever shown.

Why they're in the Utah 10

  • 2026 Utah Valley Parade #23, "Oxford Road Estate" — 26,573 sq ft with interiors by Studio McGee.
  • Five straight Utah Valley Parade People's Choice wins (2011–2015), a 2014 Judge's Choice, and the 2019 Park City Parade People's Choice.
  • BBB A+ accreditation.

Who they're a great fit for

Buyers building a true luxury estate who judge a builder on portfolio and architect/designer relationships rather than review volume. If your project will involve prominent outside design talent, McEwan has built that way.
