It has been a pleasure working on Ascaya's Clubhouse design with them and we look forward to breaking ground later this year! **★★★★★ — swabackreview, Jan. 2013** > At present, we are 85% near completion and we would highly recommend Swaback Partners. We couldn't be more pleased with the home design. Swaback listened to what we said we wanted in a home, probed us to think deeper about how we would use the home now and in the future and incorporated our ideas along with their recommendations into a fabulous end product. We selected Swaback Partners because their approach to our home design was holistic, taking into account our surrounding, nearby elevations, neighborhood characteristics, views, etc. Swaback considered the "big picture" when designing our home; they didn't just design a house. Not only did they design our home, they also assisted us in screening and selecting the contractor, interior design firm, landscaper and pool contractor. Swaback has a team of professionals who communicate very well, manage the overall project, and have continually kept us informed. When questions/issues arise, they work with us on how to best resolve the situation. If we ever build another home, we would definitely hire Swaback again. **★★★★★ — skcurci, Jan. 2013** > Our 9,000 sq. ft. home in Paradise Valley, Arizona was very carefully and specifically integrated with thoughtful preparation and respect for the native desert landscape. Quality materials and excellent craftsmanship were combined to create a positive contibution to the surrounding environment. Every detail was considered to create an artfully seamless transition from the exterior to the interior. Their site planning demonstrated an usual ability to provide privacy and magnificent views while amplifying all the best natural features of the site. > > We are now working on our second home in Sedona, Arizona with the Swaback team, and are not only using their creative design capabilities, but have solicited their assistance to determine parcel selection for the project. **★★★★★ — mikeguil, Oct. 2012** > Swaback Partners created an architectural masterpiece for us and we now live in a work of art. They listened to our wishes and co-collaborated in the design and build out of our dream. They had meticulous attention to detail, were unfettered with their imagination, and were highly coordinated on blending architectural and interior design on our home. They lived to please, were exquisite in personality and charm and will remain firmly in our lives as we experience the results of their efforts. We cannot recommend them highly enough. They were a dream Team! ## Selected projects - [Troon Ridge Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/troon-ridge-residence-pj-vj~7141588) - Location: Scottsdale, AZ - Photos: 16 - [SEDONA MOONGATE](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sedona-moongate-pj-vj~6315643) - Location: Sedona, AZ - Photos: 15 - [Prescott Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/prescott-residence-pj-vj~5913863) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 13 - [Martis Camp Lot 167](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/martis-camp-lot-167-pj-vj~5913371) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 21 - [Martis Camp Lot 369](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/martis-camp-lot-369-pj-vj~5910516) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 19 - [Martis Camp 111](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/martis-camp-111-pj-vj~5910470) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - [Martis Camp Lot 235](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/martis-camp-lot-235-pj-vj~5910460) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - [Mummy Mountain Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mummy-mountain-residence-pj-vj~5910380) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - [Martis Camp Lot 198](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/martis-camp-lot-198-pj-vj~5908004) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - [Martis Camp \#408](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/martis-camp-408-pj-vj~5903587) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 18 - [Lafayette Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lafayette-residence-pj-vj~5900893) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 20 - [Martis Camp Lot 608](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/martis-camp-lot-608-pj-vj~37342) - Location: Tahoe, NV - Photos: 9 - [Ascaya 198](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ascaya-198-pj-vj~5837520) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 19 - [Lake Las Vegas](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lake-las-vegas-pj-vj~5837475) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 15 - [Mohave Estate](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mohave-estate-pj-vj~5837462) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 - [Ligon Contemporary Estate](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ligon-contemporary-estate-pj-vj~5836359) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - [Martis Camp Lot 454](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/martis-camp-lot-454-pj-vj~5812593) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 14 - [Eagles Nest Custom Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/eagles-nest-custom-home-pj-vj~5809706) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 13 - [Martis Camp Lot 189](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/martis-camp-lot-189-pj-vj~574186) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 16 - Description: The simple, geometric forms, clad with a mix of flawless cedar boards, square steel panels and earthy ledge stone, utilize two opposing curved roof forms to accentuate the home’s entry experience; and heighten the drama of the two-story stair. - [Natural Stone Wine Cellars](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/natural-stone-wine-cellars-pj-vj~153007) - Location: Milford, CT - Photos: 3 - Description: The addition of a wine cellar is a great way to house or build up a collection of wines.
