Terraine
West Bench

A Symbiotic Setting
There is a vast sage-covered terrain in the western foothills of the Oquirrh Mountains in the Salt Lake Valley.

Elevating our Ecosystem
Welcome to not just a place, but an idea. Here in the foothills, the backdrop is nature. The foreground is nature. No out there and in here mentality. Here, nature wanders in and flows through neighborhoods, gathering spots, and out into open space. It’s fluid; there’s constant growth.

This not only makes for a mindful place for humans, it makes things better for the bees, birds, and critters that are part of a thriving ecosystem. See, plants rely on pollinators, seed dispersers, foragers, nesters, native defenders, soil enrichers, and nectar-drinking fauna to fulfill the cycle.

Here, we’re borrowing heavily from the surrounding prairie grasslands, using native plants along with well-adapted non-native varieties to kickstart the natural cycle and provide the right habitat for everything and everyone to thrive.

The Village That Thinks it’s a Camp
Terraine is organized in a village-like manner with neighborhoods and open spaces fanning out around a central hub of community buildings arranged around an outdoor commons- with an amphitheater nestled into the slope behind. Framing the view and guiding the way to the central hub is a picturesque linear park, with the community pool at its southern end.

Rollicking in the Great Outdoors
A place with a village plan and camp-like flavor deserves a calendar chock-full of activities, events, and occasions that nourish community and deepen bonds between neighbors along the way.
