Modern Paradise Valley Estate
From The Ashes.
This Paradise Valley renovation was built on the site of a home that had burned. While the slab remained, the challenge was to design a completely different house. This included utilizing, whenever possible, plumbing and other systems located within the slab and an existing wall, while still realizing the design requirements of the client. The existing wall became part of the circular entry vestibule clad with exotic wood paneling and a fantastic circular stair to the second story.
The result was this modern estate which backs to a preserve and fronts to a majestic Paradise Valley skyline. The interior millwork and specified exotic veneers were selected and designed by architect C.P. Drewett to provide a counter to the other interior finishes, making this a sumptuous feast of pattern and texture. The home is organized along a sweeping interior curve and concludes in a collection of destination-type spaces which are each meticulously crafted.
This Paradise Valley modern estate was named Showcase Home of the Year in 2004 by Arizona Foothills Magazine and was toured by thousands. While rare for a modern home to be selected as the Showcase home, the warmth of materials and attention to detail made this home a success to both those with traditional tastes as well as those who love a more modern aesthetic. And an interesting tidbit about this home — it was only the third home designed by C.P. after launching Drewett Works in the fall of 2001. Apparently there’s something to that “three’s a charm” adage.
