One of Sparano + Mooney Architecture’s favorite international architectural publications, The Plan based out of Bologna, Italy did an in-depth feature of our studio’s design process in their most recent edition published this week. Written by architecture and design critic, Michael Webb (Architect’s Houses, Moving Around: A Lifetime of Wandering, and many others), the article titled “Interpreting the Context to Create Striking Architecture” explores the studio’s interest in design, process, site-specificity, and the unique context of the American West.

We had the opportunity to host author Michael Webb for a few days to tour some of the projects featured in the article. The article features several examples of the studio’s body of creative work in architecture including the Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art, the new Aurora Villa hotel, St. Joseph the Worker Church, and one of our modern homes in Emigration Canyon.

Principals and founders John Sparano and Anne Mooney discussed with Michael Webb their personal routes to architecture, and some of their biggest design inspirations. Both of their design background through international programs (John in London at the Architectural Association and Anne in Switzerland at SCI-Arc) are evident in their specific interest in materiality, detailing sustainability, and functionality of the beautiful and timeless designs produced by the office in a highly collaborative manner.
