Stephen Macdonald graduated from MIT, worked in the east, and returned to Utah to teach at the new School of Architecture at the University of Utah. He left his position to practice full time, designing with a creative eye for bringing the outside environment inside. Macdonald was inspired by nature and inventively created forms and structures for his buildings. With many structures located in Salt Lake City and Ogden, he designed to complement their surroundings by perching structures on steep hillsides, or nestling them into stands of oak and rock.
