Architect Coy Howard is a faculty member at the Southern California Institute of Architecture and more can be learned about him here. Notably, he is well-known for his interior design work, specifically furniture and his work has been exhibited at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, Boston's Museum of Fine Arts, and the Denver Art Museum.

There are several other unique architectural works in Carbon Canyon.
