A fresh take on traditional style, this sprawling suburban home draws its occupants together in beautifully, comfortably designed spaces that gather family members for companionship, conversation, and conviviality. At the same time, it adroitly accommodates a crowd, and facilitates large-scale entertaining with ease. This balance of private intimacy and public welcome is the result of Soucie Horner’s deft remodeling of the original floor plan and creation of an all-new wing comprising functional spaces including a mudroom, powder room, laundry room, and home office, along with an exciting, three-room teen suite above. A quietly orchestrated symphony of grayed blues unites this home, from Soucie Horner Collections custom furniture and rugs, to objects, accessories, and decorative exclamationpoints that punctuate the carefully synthesized interiors. A discerning demonstration of family-friendly living at its finest.

Stepping stones in a minimal gravel paved area lead past two lounge chairs to the intimate dining area. The herringbone-patterned limestone patio dissipates into a lush planting bed filled with loose swaths of shade-loving perennials and seasonal bulbs. Beech hedging, and formal clipped evergreens, surround the space and provide privacy, structure and winter interest to the garden. On axis to the main interior living space of the home, the fountain, is the focal point of the garden. A limestone water wall featuring an engraved pattern of fallen Honey Locust leaves nods to the centrally located mature Honey Locust tree that anchors the garden. Water, flowing down the wall, falls a short distance into a pool with a submerged limestone panel. The light noise of the falling water helps soften the sounds of the bustling downtown neighbourhood, creating a tranquil back drop for living and entertaining.

Located in Scottsdale, Arizona, Paradise Drive demonstrates how a series of intentional design decisions can completely transform a home. Rather than undertaking a full renovation, our clients wanted to elevate key spaces with architectural details, statement materials, and custom features that reflected their love of bold, collected design. The transformation began with a dramatic new foyer, where we extended the entry by using the Portico and introduced a custom 11-foot steel arched door, sculptural lighting, and Phillip Jeffries wallcoverings to create an unforgettable first impression. Throughout the home, carefully selected updates, from a reimagined primary shower and powder room to layered furnishings and ceiling treatments, brought warmth, personality, and a sense of luxury to every space. The result is a home that feels distinctive, sophisticated, and unapologetically personal.
