Desert Modern home carefully situated onto the canyon walls amid statuesque Saguaro cacti. Clean angular design of the residence provides contrast to the rugged desert. Roof and overhang design result from proper solar orientation and space for solar panels. Careful excavation exposed the rugged natural environment, SUV-sized boulders, eliminating the need for massive concrete retaining walls and minimize ecological impact.

Front Entry brings the desert up close to the window walls and provides a welcoming view inside. Great Room’s angular lines in the walls and ceiling soffits continue the design philosophy. Fireplace location brings back the old tradition of being in the center of the space. Kitchen features a large central island for food prep and informal dining. All cabinets constructed from recycled material and the Island top of man-made quartz. Outdoor Kitchen a few steps away. Dining Room table constructed of reclaimed eucalyptus wood provides a warm visual link to the central fireplace.
Master Suite, simply elegant, with floating nightstands and custom headboard framed with 3-D effect porcelain tile. Master Bathroom with amazing views of the mountains and tops of Saguaro cacti provided by floor-to-ceiling windows and those above the shower and mirror walls.

Powder Room’s bevel-edged porcelain tile wainscoting topped with owner-created paper mache wallcovering provide a backdrop for man-made stone vanity; an example of “visual tactility.”

Cantilevered Patio roof allows unobstructed 360-degree view looking out of the canyon, and into the Sonoran Desert. Sliding glass walls blur the distinction between inside and out, creating your special “sense of place” - a quiet evening with the sights and sounds of nature all around.
