Historic Home Design + Remodel + Addition // Old Town // Park City, Utah

Blackdog Builders was honored to take on the complete restoration and expansion of this historic miner’s cottage, originally built in 1885 and relocated to its current Park Avenue site in the early 1900s. What began as a modest shack with a colorful past—including a shed known as the “Rat Barn”—has been reborn as a three-level stunner that seamlessly blends old character with modern sophistication.

The Transformation

Working within the city’s strict historic preservation guidelines, our team preserved the original facade while fully reimagining the interiors. We opened up the layout, exposed the original brick posts, and incorporated striking new elements like 3,500-pound steel trusses and a steel-and-glass staircase—all installed without disturbing the exterior envelope.

Rich Textures

The main level honors the home’s roots with rich textures, from walnut cabinetry to slat-wood walls and exposed steel. Upstairs, a sleek black addition clad in charred Japanese Cypress (Shou Sugi Ban) houses modern living spaces, including a guest suite, custom bunk room, and a third-floor entertaining lounge that opens to a rooftop patio with a double-sided fireplace.

Details…

No detail was overlooked—from a bathroom backsplash made from the homeowner’s son’s repurposed racing skis, to handcrafted finishes by our in-house carpentry team. The result is a collaborative, detail-rich renovation that celebrates the home’s unique story while delivering all the comforts of contemporary living.

Iron Mountain Design + Remodel // Park City, Utah

Routine Rustic to Mountain Marvel

This Park City remodel transformed a dated 1990s home into a warm, modern mountain retreat, blending organic textures, funky tile, and pops of color to create a space that feels fresh, personal, and rooted in its mountain surroundings. Through the collaboration of Blackdog Builders’ project management team, in-house carpenters, and principal designer Amanda Evans, the home was thoughtfully reimagined to reflect the clients’ desire for comfort, elegance, and mountain-town energy.

Design Highlights

Design highlights include handmade zellige tile, reclaimed wood mantels, rustic white oak cabinetry, Venetian plaster, and a showstopping ILVE Italian range in a custom blue-grey finish—paired with mixed metals and bold lighting choices. These elements come together to form a home that is refined yet full of character, balancing modern sensibilities with timeless warmth.

Remote Collaboration

Because the homeowners live out of state, the project was completed entirely remotely. Using our online construction software and collaborative design tools, our team provided weekly updates, renderings, mood boards, and digital plans—delivering a seamless, stress-free process from start to finish.

Design-Build Approach

This home is a true example of Blackdog Builders’ integrated design-build approach—where craftsmanship, creativity, and communication come together to create a sanctuary that’s not just beautiful, but deeply livable.
