The Mangiapani Residence is a historic home in the Avenues district of Salt Lake City. Io LandArch formulated a design for the front yard to complement the strikingly detailed craftsman-style home, which was built in 1918 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. According to that record, this home is the “largest and one of the few examples in the Avenues neighborhood of the Swiss Bungalow, one of a number of variations on the popular early 20th century bungalow style.”

Io developed a design to capitalize on the owner’s outdoor living space. This included an outdoor kitchen, custom pergola, and dining area. The plan also included several garden boxes, updated water-wise planting throughout the property and a children’s playhouse to mimic the Swiss craftsman style of the home. The Mangiapani residence is an intentional space, filled with charm and historical character.
