The November House Beautiful Issue Features Anik Pearson!

Coming soon to magazine racks and book shelves…

House Beautiful features the Salt Gulch Ranch project in the town of Boulder Utah, where Anik is both the Architect and Interior Designer. This unique new house for a master of iron work is in a remote and pristine location, where sensitivity to the site, fire resistance and energy efficiency are paramount. Be sure to pick up a copy. Let us know what you think.

One of the complaints of young women in the field of architecture is a lack of role models. To attack that from all ends, it’s important to shine a light on the work of women architects, especially to a wider audience outside of the professional community. So many women are doing wonderful work that isn’t being seen. It’s always a moment of celebration to see our work being recognized publicly. Thank you to House Beautiful!

As part of the celebration, post the name of a women architect you want to shine a light on and name your favorite project of hers.
