The genesis of design for this desert retreat was the informal dining area in which the clients, along with family and friends, would gather. Located in north Scottsdale’s prestigious Silverleaf, this ranch hacienda offers 6,500 square feet of gracious hospitality for family and friends. Focused around the informal dining area, the home’s living spaces, both indoor and outdoor, offer warmth of materials and proximity for expansion of the casual dining space that the owners envisioned for hosting gatherings to include their two grown children, parents, and many friends. The kitchen, adjacent to the informal dining, serves as the functioning heart of the home and is open to the great room, informal dining room, and office, and is mere steps away from the outdoor patio lounge and poolside guest casita. Additionally, the main house master suite enjoys spectacular vistas of the adjacent McDowell mountains and distant Phoenix city lights. The clients, who desired ample guest quarters for their visiting adult children, decided on a detached guest casita featuring two bedroom suites, a living area, and a small kitchen. The guest casita’s spectacular bedroom mountain views are surpassed only by the living area views of distant mountains seen beyond the spectacular pool and outdoor living spaces.

Perfect for exterior projects such as outdoor kitchens, fireplaces, custom architectural pieces, outdoor walls, accent fences, and house exteriors.

The elegant simplicity of creating design elements from structural steel add a functional element of design interest to the room. Clerestory windows help to add natural light without opening the room to the autocourt and street. Large lift and slide doors open to an outdoor living area, creating true indoor-outdoor living space. A wood ceiling adds character without competing with other design elements and art.

Sliding and pocketing doors by Fleetwood enable the interior space of the dining, kitchen, and family room and the exterior space of the balcony to flow as one space capturing the view of Camelback Mountain beyond. Bill Timmerman - Timmerman Photography

Bring the outdoors in with a room that covers both. Open at one end, this outdoor living space connects seamlessly with the garden but allows you to use it even when raining. Always ready for entertaining, or just for a quiet coffee spot.

The dining room is a traditional space with antique styled table, chairs and breakfront china cabinet. A light blue brightens up the space.
