EDA Utah Modernism It leads us explore opportunities to connect design to the users and community and the building’s interior to its exterior.

We believe architecture is the most powerful design form in transforming people’s lives and our environment

Rooted in the unique culture, climate and geography of the Intermountain West, our design ethos drives a design process uniquely suited to the mountains, valleys and deserts of the Intermountain West. The product of our practice reflects an art to creating a sense of place – a genius loci – that flows from the human connection to nature and our environment. EDA’s design philosophy is a response to the unique environmental and cultural contexts of the Intermountain West. Our architectural and interior design solutions provide human-scaled public spaces that connect the community. We call this Utah Modernism: a regionally-relevant design philosophy that aims to do more than simply make good buildings, but to create places that engage and inspire our community.

Taking shape, one timber beam at a time.

Exciting progress at the Wasatch County Administration Building as the
mass timber structure continues to rise!

With each glulam beam and column carefully lifted into place, the
building's structural framework is beginning to reveal the warmth,
precision, and natural beauty of mass timber construction.

The combination of glulam beams, hybrid steel framing, and intricate
timber connections showcases the craftsmanship and coordination behind
the building's structural design. Beyond its architectural expression,
mass timber also offers a more sustainable approach to construction,
with the potential to reduce embodied carbon.

With mass timber installation nearing completion, we're excited to see the building take shape against the backdrop of Mount Timpanogos. Stay tuned for more construction milestones!

Groundbreaking at the Heber Valley

The Wasatch Administration Building is designed as an extension of its landscape, framing views of the mountains while integrating locally sourced stone. The mass timber structure coupled with a ground source heat pump system brings warmth,efficiency, and sustainability to this 56,000 SF facility housing Council Chambers, administrative and other departments' offices, DLD and DMV services, and space for Heber Valley Tourism and Economic Development.

A civic building rooted in place, material, and experience.
