This two-story residence embodies the spirit of the desert, taking advantage of long distance views from important rooms, and designed in a U-shape around a pool patio. Tall ceilings and neutral limestone flooring create a lofty feeling , enhanced by accents in the ceilings of wood beams and wood grids in a dark, striking stain. Accent colors of turquoise, tan and sage green were used to catch the eye in otherwise soft, restful spaces. Furnishings, as well as interior design elements are a very soft, comfortable contemporary which invites relaxing and enjoying a good conversation.
