Designed to embrace an extensive and unique art collection including sculpture, paintings, tapestry, and cultural antiquities, this modernist home located in north Scottsdale’s Estancia is the quintessential gallery home for the spectacular collection within. The primary roof form, “the wing” as the owner enjoys referring to it, opens the home vertically to a view of adjacent Pinnacle peak and changes the aperture to horizontal for the opposing view to the golf course. Deep overhangs and fenestration recesses give the home protection from the elements and provide supporting shade and shadow for what proves to be a desert sculpture. The restrained palette allows the architecture to express itself while permitting each object in the home to make its own place. The home, while certainly modern, expresses both elegance and warmth in its material selections including canterra stone, chopped sandstone, copper, and stucco.

These delightful homeowners came to us desirous of a kitchen with improved function, an open floor-plan and modernized look. Their dated kitchen was galley-style with a peninsula and was not conducive to cooking or entertaining. We began by removing a load bearing wall from the galley-style kitchen to create an open-concept kitchen that seamlessly connected the dining room, allowing for the use of an island providing more functional space. We relocated a window permitting the addition of more cabinets for storage and improved function. The custom white painted perimeter cabinets and stained maple island makes this kitchen classy and timeless. In addition to the kitchen transformation, we also refreshed their powder bath creating more space with a smaller wall-mount sink and toilet. We finished the update with new wallpaper and a light fixture. The result is a stunning kitchen, dining room and powder bath our homeowners can entertain and enjoy for years to come.
