Firefly at Eagle Mountain

Founded on the belief that design can influence a healthier, wellness-centered life, the Firefly at Eagle Mountain community reimagines Utah living for modern families outside Salt Lake City. Single-family and multifamily homes are planned for the growing workforce in the area, offering a refined approach to modern living in a fast-growing, dynamic region. A variety of amenities, all interconnected by a significant open space and trails network, will set the framework for strong community connections.

From the master plan through the architecture, these alley-loaded homes are intentionally designed to help families connect more with each other and the outdoors, opting for true connection over screen time. The massing promotes an indoor-outdoor lifestyle with a central courtyard and prioritizes larger amounts of glazing, while the interior features “tech-drawers” to store technology and encourage connection. The courtyards flood the interiors with light and draw people back to the outside. Firefly not only boasts a new way of living but also provides a range of architectural styles that create a powerful identity in the region.

DTJ did the community master planning, single-family home architecture, community entry landscape experience design, and the model home landscape design.

The Chamonix

Set against the backdrop of Eagle Mountain, the Chamonix home delivers refined modern living in a dynamic, rapidly growing region. Designed to meet the needs of the area’s expanding workforce and emphasize connectivity, the model balances efficiency and comfort through a smart layout and striking architectural character. The home’s Scandinavian-inspired farmhouse blends vertical siding, natural wood tones, and bold geometry, creating curb appeal that feels both timeless and fresh. A deep front porch invites neighborly connection, while the compact footprint makes the most of its lot with a thoughtful indoor-outdoor flow. Inside, the open-concept layout emphasizes space and flow, with natural light streaming through large windows.
