Among the seven wonders of the world should be a list of feats such as inventing the artificial heart, creating a clone from DNA and taking an old world tuscan style home and making it contemporary. There are some things that a few years ago would have been deemed impossible. Since this is not a scientific website, I will not pretend to be a scientist and only speak on this amazing home. Split Rock has been creating in St George what is known to many as “modern homes”. These beautiful Split Rock homes show that you can make a gorgeous home on the outside that doesn’t let you down upon entering.

This home was showcased in the 2008 parade of homes. Although it is too early to tell, this home was highly favored to win the Home of the year award for the parade. Split Rock has won numerous awards for their forward thinking in design. What really shows is when you see a Split Rock home is that nothing is overlooked. Most builders have a long list of sub-contractors and a short list of in-house employees. Split Rocks owners thought ahead and hired people for specific tasks so that nothing goes overlooked. These roles include faux rock work, a landscaping company, a waterscaping company and a design company. This ensures that when you build a home with Split Rock, you not only build a home, you build your surroundings as well.

Now getting back to the part where I was talking about impossible feats. Tuscan and contemporary are not easily morphed designs. Typically, a Tuscan home is rustic and is known as “old world”. A contemporary home is usually brand new with the latest in technologies. So the two put together makes for an interesting, almost impossible, concept. The Split Rock designers must have had several sleepless nights brainstorming out how to make old new again. Well I am here to say that the lack of sleep paid off. This elegant masterpiece is a sight to be seen. It is almost like a resort but scaled to down to be home. What was thought of to be old world has been made new again.

This home and many other amazing homes like this one are available to be seen by contacting the Split Rock offices. Split Rock has many developments around the St George area. From small to large custom contemporary mansions such as this one, Split Rock is ready to make your dreams come true. The main Split Rock office is located at 906 N. 1400 W. St. George, UT 84770 or you can call 877.368.7232. Make sure you tell them Utah Luxury sent you.
