When acclaimed architect Fabio Rigo de Righi of Domani Architecture chose to design a modern lodge in Benloch, Utah, he selected Roderick Builders to bring his vision to life. The result is a striking residence that blends contemporary European design sensibilities with the rugged beauty of the Wasatch Back.
The Architect's Vision
Fabio Rigo de Righi is known for designs that balance bold modern forms with warmth and livability. For the Benloch project, he drew on the region's natural landscape — dramatic mountain views, weathered stone, and the interplay of light and shadow that defines Utah's high desert — to create a home that feels both of the moment and timeless.
The design features clean horizontal lines, expansive glazing, and a material palette that connects the home to its setting. It's the kind of architecture that demands a builder who can match its ambition with flawless execution.
Why Benloch?
Benloch has become one of the most compelling communities for luxury new construction in Utah. Nestled in Heber Valley with views of Mount Timpanogos and the surrounding peaks, it offers the space and setting that Park City increasingly cannot. Smart investors have recognized this, following the trajectory of successful resort communities.
With the 2034 Winter Olympics now confirmed for Utah, communities like Benloch are positioned for significant appreciation. Properties near world-class resorts like Montage Deer Valley and Waldorf Astoria have already seen remarkable gains, and Benloch's combination of accessibility, views, and quality development makes it a standout.
Building the Vision
Translating Fabio's design into reality required the kind of precision craftsmanship that Roderick Builders is known for. From the engineered structural systems supporting the home's dramatic cantilevers to the meticulous material selections that bring the interior to life, every element demanded expertise.
Our team worked closely with Domani Architecture throughout the build process, maintaining the design intent while solving the inevitable construction challenges that arise with architecturally ambitious homes.
A Landmark for Benloch
The Rigo de Righi lodge represents what's possible when world-class architecture meets world-class building. It's a home that sets the standard for what Benloch and the broader Heber Valley can become.
