Bangerter Homes Replica home from Disney • Pixar’s “Up”
Bangerter Homes has constructed an authentic replica of Carl Fredrickson’s flying house featured in the 2009 Disney/Pixar movie “UP”. Bangerter Homes and their team of sub-contractors have created a masterpiece because of their attention to every detail. Blair Bangerter’s design has now come to life and is ready for everyone to see.
As third generation builders, with experience in constructing award winning homes, the Bangerters are no stranger to building homes with historical architecture.
Recognizing that movies have become such a part of our society’s story telling culture, it was decided that if such a home was actually constructed it would have to be open for the public to enjoy. Disney/Pixar was contacted and gave Bangerter Homes unprecedented permission to construct the replica and feature it in the 2011 Salt Lake Parade of Homes.
Staying true to the time line in the movie, this turn of the century period home will be decorated to reflect the 1950’s era, which today is commonly referred to as “Retro”. From the interior finishes, kitchen design to the furniture and accessories, great care has been exercised to achieve a fun and fresh nostalgic atmosphere. “If you have seen it in the movie, You”ll see it in real life in he home,” said Adam Bangerter.
Bangerter Homes is romanced with the idea that this 2800 square foot home will be purchased and lived in by a family that will start to build memories the day they move in just like Carl and Ellie did in the movie. Bangerter Homes invites everyone to come, see and feel the magic. The home has landed at 13222 South Herriman Rose Blvd in Herriman, Utah. We would love to participate with you in the building of your dream and then making it a reality. If you can Dream it “UP” we can build it.
(News story via KSL.com)HERRIMAN — Some Utah homebuilders have brought a piece of movie magic to reality in Herriman.A home designed to look like the one from the movie “Up” is drawing a lot of attention — even from the folks at Disney.
The house really stands out in this neighborhood, located at 13215 S. 5390 West in Herriman, painted with all the bright colors from the movie.
The home as seen in the movie ‘Up.’
If you’ve seen “Up,” you know the house plays a very key role in the film — which is what grabbed the attention of the homebuilders. So they decided to build it, with a special vision in mind.
“The movie kind of captured the idea that a house is a place where you live and you grow up and you live your life,” said builder Blair Bangerter. “We’ve tried to take this movie and bring it to life in a real home.”
The house is still a work in progress, but it’s getting close. With the outside of the home finished, it’s already attracting dozens of tourists each day.
Bangerter and his team of subcontractors went to great lengths to make this replica as authentic as possible. The garden hose reel, the front door, the custom mailbox, even the weather vane are all recreated in full.
“Almost every detail is going to be found here,” Bangerter said. “There was a little kid here the other day, and he said, ‘Hey, there’s no light above the front door,’ and I said, ‘The heck there isn’t! How many times have you watched the movie?’”
The folks at Bangerter Homes got the project approved by Disney. Once finished, it will become part of the Salt Lake area Parade of Homes. On the weekends, builders even add balloons to create the full effect.
“They’re pretty expensive because you have to put a whole bunch of them up,” Bangerter said.
But not too many — it is, after all, just a home. And that’s what the builders want. Special project aside, they hope the end result will be fairly simple.
“We are kind of romanced with the idea that this is a house. Someone will live here, like they’re supposed to.” Bangerter said.
Crews are still finishing the inside. They will fill it with custom-made furniture as seen in the movie. They did take a few liberties, however, like adding some extra space and a basement.
The total space of the home is about 2,800-square feet. The builders hope to sell it at just under $400,000, which would just about allow them to break even on all the building costs.
Bangerter Homes Up house replica has gotten a lot of attention in the media. Here are some links of some stories around the web.
