Where discerning visitors dine during the Sundance Film Festival. Each January, the Sundance Film Festival in Park City attracts a rare mix of filmmakers, investors, and buyers quietly evaluating whether this mountain town could become something more permanent. During Sundance (January 22–February 1), reservations are scarce, Main Street is closed to vehicles, and many restaurants alter hours for private events. Knowing where to dine and when  makes all the difference. Start with The Hirsch Goldener Hirsch | Auberge Resorts Collection The Hirsch is a brand-new alpine restaurant inside the iconic Goldener Hirsch, Auberge Resorts Collection. Expect elevated European mountain cuisine, a refined atmosphere, and a clientele that values discretion over spectacle. Order the fondue before a late screening and you’ll understand why this room will remain relevant long after Sundance ends.

Park City’s landscape has long inspired architects to blend natural beauty with innovative design. Among these creative minds, Cobus van den Berg stands out for his thoughtful approach to architecture. His work on INDI Ridge offers a compelling example of how architecture can come alive, harmonizing with its environment while providing a unique living experience. The Vision Behind INDI Ridge Cobus van den Berg approached INDI Ridge with a clear goal: to create homes that feel connected to the rugged beauty of Park City while offering modern comfort. His design philosophy focuses on integrating architecture with nature , using materials and forms that reflect the surrounding landscape. The project began with a deep study of the site’s topography, climate, and views. Berg’s team carefully mapped out how sunlight moves across the property and how the homes could maximize natural light without sacrificing privacy. This attention to detail shaped the layout and orientation of each residence. How INDI Ridge Was Created The creation of INDI Ridge involved a blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern building techniques. Berg selected materials such as locally sourced stone and warm wood to echo the natural environment. These choices help the homes blend seamlessly into the mountainside rather than stand out as foreign structures. The design also emphasizes open floor plans and large windows to bring the outdoors inside. Living spaces flow naturally into outdoor decks and patios, encouraging residents to enjoy the fresh mountain air and panoramic views. The use of sustainable materials and energy-efficient systems reflects a commitment to responsible building practices. Seeing the Architecture Come to Life Today, INDI Ridge has 2 of the 37 homes under construction. All with magnificent view overlook the Wasatch Back, Mt Timpanogos, Deer Valley's East Village, Jordanelle Reservoir and the golf course at Talisker Club. These homes stands as a testament to Van Den Berg’s vision. Walking through the gated community, visitors and residents will experience how the architecture interacts with the landscape. The homes will all feel grounded yet airy, with every detail crafted to enhance comfort and connection to nature. The landscaping complements the architecture, featuring native plants and natural stone to maintain the site’s original character. This thoughtful integration creates a sense of place that is both inviting and timeless. What Makes INDI Ridge Special Site-specific design that respects the natural contours and views Use of natural, local materials to create harmony with the environment Floor plans that prioritize light, openness, and indoor-outdoor living Commitment to sustainability through energy-efficient features and eco-friendly materials A community layout that fosters privacy while maintaining a connection to nature These elements combine to make INDI Ridge more than just a collection of homes. It is a living example of how architecture can enhance the experience of place. Bringing Architecture and Nature Together INDI Ridge shows how thoughtful design can transform a challenging mountain site into a welcoming community. Cobus van den Berg’s work reminds us that architecture is not just about buildings but about creating spaces that enrich lives and respect the environment.
