A major kitchen remodel to a spectacular mid-century residence in the Tucson foothills. Project scope included demo of the north facing walls and the roof. The roof was raised and picture windows were added to take advantage of the fantastic view. New terrazzo floors were poured in the renovated kitchen to match the existing floor throughout the home. Custom millwork was created by local craftsmen.

House and garden design become a bridge between two different bodies of water: gentle Mecox Bay to the north and wild Atlantic Ocean to the south. An existing house was radically transformed as opposed to being demolished. Substantial effort was undertaken in order to reuse, rethink and modify existing conditions and materials. Much of the material removed was recycled or reused elsewhere. The plans were reworked to create smaller, staggered volumes, which are visually disconnected. Deep overhangs were added to strengthen the indoor/outdoor relationship and new bay to ocean views through the structure result in house as breezeway and bridge. The dunescape between house and shore was restored to a natural state while low maintenance building materials, allowed to weather naturally, will continue to strengthen the relationship of the structure to its surroundings.

SORAA
This elegant architectural gem in the desert near Scottsdale, Arizona was designed by noted American architect Will Bruder for his friends and colleagues Scott and Debbie Jarson. As Scott describers the project of revamping the house with the Soraa Vivid LED:
“The space was inspiring to begin with, and we found that with the Soraa Vivid lamps, details of our art collection and interiors emerged that we hadn't really seen before. Textures and colors came alive and the indoor/outdoor connection to the site is remarkably enhanced. There's a renewed sense of depth in finishes and hues. What’s more, our art collection, so integral to how we live, is now stunningly expressed at all times day or night.
We worked closely with Will Bruder on creating a really unique desert dwelling that maximized the features of the site that we had chosen. It was a beautiful but challenging site to work with, and thanks to his stellar talent, we are inspired by the space daily.
His architecture is much about light and space as it is about form and materials. Lighting is an integral part of the overall program and experience of living in a home as this. The installation of The Soraa lamps just added a whole new level to our experience of living in such a graceful design. The clarity and purity of the Soraa lamps integrate our light and space like nothing we’ve seen before.”

This unique outdoor living space is tucked between the house and the forest. The 65 foot long gunite pool and spa are surrounded by landscape and adjacent to a covered outdoor room with a pool house, fireplace, dining terrace, bbq kitchen and open air lounge. Sunshades and overhanging roofs protect the house interiors from direct sun.

Glass House:
The design objective was to build a house for my wife and three kids, looking forward in terms of how people live today. To experiment with transparency and reflectivity, removing borders and edges from outside to inside the house, and to really depict “flowing and endless space”. To construct a house that is smart and efficient in terms of construction and energy, both in terms of the building and the user. To tell a story of how the house is built in terms of the constructability, structure and enclosure, with the nod to Japanese wood construction in the method in which the concrete beams support the steel beams; and in terms of how the entire house is enveloped in glass as if it was poured over the bones to make it skin tight. To engineer the house to be a smart house that not only looks modern, but acts modern; every aspect of user control is simplified to a digital touch button, whether lights, shades/blinds, HVAC, communication/audio/video, or security. To develop a planning module based on a 16 foot square room size and a 8 foot wide connector called an interstitial space for hallways, bathrooms, stairs and mechanical, which keeps the rooms pure and uncluttered. The base of the interstitial spaces also become skylights for the basement gallery.
This house is all about flexibility; the family room, was a nursery when the kids were infants, is a craft and media room now, and will be a family room when the time is right. Our rooms are all based on a 16’x16’ (4.8mx4.8m) module, so a bedroom, a kitchen, and a dining room are the same size and functions can easily change; only the furniture and the attitude needs to change.
The house is 5,500 SF (550 SM)of livable space, plus garage and basement gallery for a total of 8200 SF (820 SM). The mathematical grid of the house in the x, y and z axis also extends into the layout of the trees and hardscapes, all centered on a suburban one-acre lot.
