This home was designed as a place to rest and recharge — a counterbalance to one of the most demanding professions there is. When the season ends in Boston, this becomes a place for skiing, slowing down, gathering together, and soaking in the landscape before the work begins again.⁠
It’s been a privilege working with Mike Vrabel and his amazing wife, Jen on this home — thoughtful, generous people who made the process a true joy from start to finish.⁠
From all of us at WOW atelier, we’re rooting for our clients and cheering on the New England Patriots this Super Bowl Sunday.⁠

Gratitude | The Long Conversation⁠
Nothing here happens alone.⁠
⁠
These spaces come from long conversations -⁠
with clients who trust feeling over trends,⁠
with collaborators who push back,⁠
with a team willing to care past the point of comfort.⁠
⁠
When it works, the result isn’t just a finished product.⁠
It’s where the most important moments of life unfold!⁠
⁠
You walk in and feel it.⁠
The room meets you halfway.⁠
It settles somewhere deeper than taste.⁠
⁠
This is our life’s work.⁠
And we’re grateful for every soul who shares it with us.⁠

There is no first idea.
Only the slow uncovering of the right one.

For the Engine House, we explored countless massing iterations—three shown here—each testing how the site’s rail history might reorganize space, movement, and collective life.

Rick Rubin reminds us, “The process is the point.”
Iteration isn’t indecision—it’s listening.

We keep working until the building tells us who it wants to be.

Every project begins with the ground beneath our feet.

Context matters.
When you stand on a place and understand its history, you can feel time stack up —
10 days, 10 years, 1,000 years, a million years.
That awareness roots us. It deepens what it means to be human here.

The site was once called “Wye.”
A convergence point of Railroads.
Union Pacific. Park City Echo. Summit County. Utah Eastern.
Trains arriving, switching, moving people and goods in and out of the city.
The triangular site still tells that story—if you listen.

That history shaped the building’s form.
Its name.
Its geometry.
Its reason for being.

Good architecture doesn’t rise by accident.
It comes from careful listening, deep analysis, and respect for what came before.

Today we break ground on more than a building. We break ground on the idea that a real community must make room for the people who give it life.

EngineHouse; now rising at last is the largest affordable and workforce housing project in Park City, and it has been a labor of care, conviction, and patience for WOW atelier over the past four years. The project takes its name and form from this site’s history as a convergence of rail lines, once an engine house at the hinge point of Park City’s working past - where iron, labor, mining and movement shaped the town long before it became a destination. From the earliest sketches through entitlement, design, and now construction, we have walked this path alongside Rory Murphy and the JF Capital team. Standing here today, the moment feels both hard-earned and deeply right.

A town cannot survive on scenery alone. It needs families, permanence, and the everyday lives that turn a place into home. With 99 affordable homes, EngineHouse opens the door for working families to live where they work, to put down roots rather than commute past them.

We are proud to help make space for that future and this is only the beginning. More to come.

Every story begins somewhere — often not in the spotlight, but in a quiet space where ideas take root and courage gathers.
Over the years, the Utah Film Center has evolved — expanding its mission beyond film screenings and storytelling to nurturing the storytellers themselves. Today, that vision lives in the Artist Foundry — a place built for filmmakers to work, learn, and grow.
It’s more than a space. It’s a community — with co-working, editing bays, workshops, and shelves lined with decades of cinematic history. A place for Utah filmmakers to find connection, skill, and their own creative rhythm.
The warmth of wood, the calm of light — it’s where the work gets done, where ideas quietly turn into films that move us all.
If you’re a young creative, come find your footing here.

And if you believe in the power of film — lend your support. Spaces like this don’t happen by chance; they’re built by all of us pushing in the same direction, believing that creativity can still change the world.

Opening night at the Geralyn White Dreyfous Building, home of the Utah Film Center, was one of those rare moments when vision meets place — twenty years of persistence, heart, and belief brought into focus.
To Mariah Mellus, Josh Levey, and Meghan Horner — your devotion and artistry made this night sing. Tireless and thoughtful, you are shaping the living heartbeat for our creative community. This place will be the lifeblood of Utah’s film scene — a
home for dreamers, storytellers, and seekers of truth. The space came alive because of you.

Set the Mood”

The blue came first — not as decoration, but as atmosphere. A deep, cinematic hue meant to hold the room in quiet tension. It’s the color that sets the stage before the story begins, that soft hum before the lights go down. For the Utah Film Center, this blue carries their identity — reflective, intelligent, and full of restrained drama. It became both pigment and light, a calm field for red to rise against. Because in design, one rule endures: it just has to be beautiful. And here, that blue makes everything else sing.

Yes “Where Film Becomes Conversation”

Some nights feel like arrival.

At opening night, the Utah Film Center lit up with a conversation at the heart of our time — Leap of Faith, by Nicholas Ma, laid bare the pressures on pastors navigating politics, love, expectations, and the weight between sacred and public life.

In dialogue with Doug Fabrizio, Ma didn’t skirt nuance or comfort — he asked the questions that demand honesty. What is faith when every axis of identity is contested? How do we hold grace amid division?

That is the soul of this building: a place made for honest reckoning, for stories that speak in the pauses and in the silences. Spaces where we lean into complexity, together.

Early in the design conversation, the client knew exactly what this space needed to feel like — David Bowie meets Jimmy Chin.
Bowie: the artist who turned self-expression into high art — elegant, defiant, endlessly reinventing. Chin: the climber-filmmaker whose calm precision turns risk into beauty, discipline into poetry.
Together, their spirits defined the tone — glamour meets chill, refinement meets calm.
And the red? It’s not decoration. It’s declaration — used only where the space needed to speak with amplification and purpose.
