An award-winning Arizona-based firm specializing in high-end residential and hospitality projects, Drewett Works unlocks the mysteries of the site to yield buildings that express the deepest essences of the client, the venue, and the intended uses. A large portion of the firm’s body of work is in the Sonoran Desert of Arizona, a natural cornucopia that is a dream canvas for any architect. Founder and lead architect C.P. Drewett brings to the table a passion rooted in his childhood, working with his Marine Corps aviator father, also a woodworking hobbyist, to create objects of lasting beauty. His family moved 18 times during his childhood, giving him a deep sense of respect for regional architectural traditions while fostering excitement about making an impact on a local scale. The 18-person Drewett studio is diverse and brings a keen variety of perspectives and experiences to the design process. The firm’s design approach is restrained and reductive – Drewett edits down the massing and materials palettes to get at the core of the expressive idea. Inspired by the grandees of modernist design without being beholden to them, Drewett Works creates houses that will grace the landscape long after the initial clients and designers are gone. It is design for the ages. No stranger to acclaim, Drewett Works is the recipient of a multitude of honors, and its work has consistently appeared in high-end design publications. Current firm projects span the U.S. from Florida to California as well as Loreto and Los Cabos, Mexico. The firm recently published its first book: STRATA: a desert dwelling (Oscar Riera Ojeda Publishers), featuring the company’s biggest single-residential project to date. ### Services Provided - Architectural Design - Building Design - Home Remodeling - Architectural Drawings - House Plans - Home Additions - Home Extensions - Kitchen Design - Kitchen Remodeling - Floor Plans - Energy-Efficient Homes - 3D Rendering - Bathroom Design - Universal Design - Construction Drawings - Custom Home ### Areas Served - Phoenix - Mesa - Gilbert - Scottsdale - Tempe - Paradise Valley - CA - CO - FL - HI - IA - MA - MX - NV - TX - UT ### Typical Job Cost $1 million - 50 million ## Business Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Business Name | Drewett Works | | Address | 7144 E.

Are the others for the slaves? Try to do better in the future. **★★★★★ — LInda Langer, May 2022** > We are currently working on our second project with CP and the Drewett Works Team. Each and every member of the Drewett Works team is not only highly professional and talented they are also personable which makes them easy and fun to work with. The creativity within the team is absolutely amazing. Additionally, they return phone calls and answer emails in a very timely fashion. They have the ability to take a project to a totally different level than you could ever imagine in your wildest dream. In any project by Drewett Works you will see attention to detail that is second to none. They take your dreams and make them a reality! Honestly, they are truly amazing to work with and to dream with. If you want something special, CP and the Drewett Works Team is who you want to work with! Our space is not finished yet, but you can bet your bottom dollar it will be something really special when it is done! I love working with these guys!!! **Comment from Drewett Works:** > Many thanks, Linda for your kind words. It's great to know the process of designing your second home is going as smoothly as the first. We are thrilled with our continued relationship and love working with you, as well! **★★★★★ — Michael Lawton, March 2019** > CP and his team are amazing. He was able to take our abstract ideas for a house and transform them into a spectacular contemporary home. Now that we are living inside this work of art, we appreciate all the insights, choices, and fine details that CP was able to build into the structure. We could not be happier with Drewett Works and feel lucky to have found CP. **★★★★★ — Diane Hogan, Dec. 2017** > I highly recommend Drewett Works. They were professional and easy to work with. We love the space they designed for us and could not have asked for a better end result. **Comment from Drewett Works:** > Diane, You guys were and are amazing! It was an absolute joy to craft a home for you and your family. I will never forget your focus on hospitality and the love for your family. Geaux Tigers (inside joke)... CP **★★★★★ — Greey Pickett, Jan. 2017** > We have had the opportunity to collaborate with CP and the Drewett Works team on various projects. CP’s creative design style is in a class of its own. Specifically, when a Client is looking for elegant and modern architecture, we know that Drewett Works is the team to work with. Their eye for detail and creation of clean, sleek lines have been the successful backbone of all our Client collaborations. We look forward to working together on future projects! **Comment from Drewett Works:** > Team G \| P ... Knowing and working with you has been nothing short of career changing. I cannot express how much I appreciate the collaborations we have shared. Your team is inspiring to work with and a joy. I look forward to many years of shared vision with my/ our friends at G \| P... **★★★★★ — Marcia Anderson, Dec. 2015** > CP Drewett was very professional and great to work with. He provided amazing insight to the design of our new custom home. He was always available and willing to meet us at the site to go over the project. We would use his services again on another project and have recommended him many times. **★★★★★ — Claire Ownby, Nov. 2014** > I have had the opportunity to work with CP and his team on several projects in the last year. To be able to collaborate with them has been a real pleasure. Their creative ideas and thoroughness of plans makes the process very enjoyable for both the design team and the clients. I look forward to working with them on many more projects to come. **★★★★★ — Susan Merritt, July 2014** > Nothing to us was more important than the backbone of our design-------it had to be unique and have genuine beauty in its architectural elements. When you strip a house of all its superficial adornment, beauty must remain in its actual form. C.P. Drewett is so very capable of designing houses that unfold and surprise you around every turn with sheer beauty. That is how I feel every day on our construction site as I walk in and see the shapes, site lines, and how he integrated our house into its natural setting. He definitely has extraordinary vision, listening skills, and the ability to relate to the needs and desires of his clients. How fortunate we were to have him as the creator of our domicile! **★★★★★ — richarddw4, June 2014** > CP Drewett provided an extremely well balanced design and really listen to our needs and wants. The final design was excellent and took into account the many details that we wanted in our home. He patiently provided us drawings that we were able to review and alter to reflect changes that we wanted and he would then review our changes and make very appropriate comments. All details were discussed openly. He was responsive. And provided creative solutions in his recommendations -- > We designed our home in about 9 months and we did this over the phone with the challenge being our ability to communicate with each other. CP had no problem in working with us and he was a delight to work with as well. He moved our garage to the west side of the house so we could take advantage of our views. He also changed our laundry room location and added a window -- he designed the location for the refrigerator and freezer so it was hidden and focused on our kitchen area which was a top priority for us. He also worked with us to downside the square footage to a more manageable level. Always willing to work with his customer but would offer sound solutions and input as to why he was recommending a specific design. He would challenge us in an agreeable manner which was good. **★★★★★ — silverleafhomeowner, Dec. 2013** > C.P. , what an architect! We love our home and we have nothing but good to say about C.P. and his talent. I have interviewed the top architects and builders in the Valley, and we have no regrets at all. C.P. will be part of our family forever. **Comment from Drewett Works:** > You guys are the best!!! I am so glad you love your home. **★★★★★ — anderje, Dec. 2013** > C.P. was the architect we hired for the design of our new home in Arcadia at Silverleaf in Scottsdale. We worked closely with C.P. throughout the process and it was clear he had listened intently to our expressed needs and desires for our new home. He delivered exactly what we were looking for. in fact, he exceeded our expectations with the design and floor plan. We believe he hit a home run with our home design. We have a home design that is edgy, but exceptionally functional for a family. We also have a house that incorporates light really well. C.P. was always accessible when we wanted to meet to discuss important construction/design decisions we needed to make with our builder. We frequently sought C.P.'s opinion on design matters, for instance, he was instrumental in helping us with the selection of the interior and exterior paint colors. He also helped us with our decisions on lighting fixtures and fireplace design. C.P. was incredibly enthusiastic and fantastic to work with. We certainly would work with him again in the design of our next home. **Comment from Drewett Works:** > Your home looks amazing!!! Ready for a "barley pop" on the view terrace. Enjoy the holidays. **★★★★ — billhogan, Dec. 2013** > Mr. Drewett deisgn our house that was completed four years ago. He is very creative and made our dream come true. He knew what our vision was and exceeded our expectations. ## Selected projects - [White Box No. 5](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/white-box-no-5-pj-vj~7633586) - Location: Paradise Valley, AZ - Photos: 27 - Description: Configured at a diagonal on a corner lot, White Box No. 5—a modern desert residence—is an unexpectedly beautiful contradiction to its neighboring homes and a brilliant solution to a hot environment.
