Martinez Custom Home

Project Summary: To design a custom, multigenerational luxury residence tailored to the unique lifestyle and values of the Martinez family.

Client Background: Sarah Martinez, a 45-year-old physical therapist, and her husband Miguel, 48, a software engineer, live with their three children (ages 14, 12, and 8) and Sarah’s mother, Li Wei (72). Their home is a lively and culturally rich space, reflecting Sarah’s Chinese-American heritage and Miguel’s Mexican roots. The family regularly blends traditions and celebrates their backgrounds through food, music, and meaningful activities.

Design Goals:

  • Multigenerational Living: Thoughtful layout to provide privacy, comfort, and independence for all family members. Includes a fully ADA-accessible suite for Li Wei with proximity to the garden and main living areas.

  • Modern Mountain Aesthetic: A fusion of contemporary architecture with natural elements—wood, stone, and expansive glass—to embrace the Provo landscape and mountain views.

  • Family-Centric Spaces:

    • A spacious, professional-grade kitchen for Sarah and Miguel, ideal for cooking and hosting extended family.

    • Indoor/outdoor dining and gathering areas that support cultural celebrations and casual get-togethers.

    • Soundproofed music and sports practice zones for the children.

  • Creative & Wellness-Oriented Spaces:

    • A workshop or studio for DIY projects.

    • A garden where Li Wei can relax and teach traditional Chinese calligraphy.

    • Home wellness features such as a fitness room, spa-inspired bathrooms, and natural lighting throughout.

Concept: An elemental disk crafted from raw stone and natural wood—a circular fusion of strength and warmth. More than a decorative piece, it serves as a ritual centerpiece that grounds energy, invites mindfulness, and connects the home to nature’s quiet rhythms. Each disk is unique, echoing the textures and stories of the earth
