Arizona and the Southwest have some unique building styles, one of which is the use of Adobe bricks, which are made from mud. This home in a North Scottsdale golf course community has many adobe walls, most of which we finished inside with an off-white plaster skim coat, which provides beautiful texture to the rooms and adds to the natural, welcoming feeling of the home. The serious and solid nature of the big wood beams and adobe walls provide a counterpoint to the playful, eclectic tiles and furnishings designed for this family home. Special features are the 2-story entry stair feature with iron railing and B&W tile stair risers, and the scored concrete floors.
