Kitchen in Bronco | Key Feature: A Scottsdale new-build rooted in sculptural modernism, Bronco Revival balances bold black-and-white contrast with organic textures, natural wood elements, and statement lighting. As a groundbreaking “Live Lab” designer residence, it’s a first-of-its-kind space where luxury furnishings are tested in real-world conditions before being introduced into high-profile client homes.
Challenge: Because Bronco Revival was the designer’s personal residence, the project carried a unique level of pressure and intention. The challenge was creating a Scottsdale new-build that felt elevated and editorial while still functioning as a true family home. Every selection had to balance bold sculptural modernism (high contrast, statement lighting, architectural furnishings) with durability, comfort, and day-to-day livability. In addition, the home served as a “Live Lab,” meaning new vendors, materials, and luxury furnishings needed to be tested in real-life conditions before being trusted for future high-profile client projects.
Solution: We approached the project with a highly curated, test-and-refine design strategy, treating each space as both a finished interior and a real-world evaluation environment. Key furnishings, textiles, and materials were selected to support the modern organic vision while also standing up to the demands of everyday family life. We worked through selections intentionally, layering in bold contrast, natural woods, and sculptural statement pieces, while prioritizing performance materials, pet-friendly durability, and timeless foundational elements. By using the home as a lived-in showroom, we were able to validate what truly performs beautifully, refine our vendor relationships, and confidently carry those proven selections into future client designs.

The Glenhill house settles gracefully into a mature pine forest, its form composed as a quiet
study of light, proportion, and crafted detail. A two-story residence lifted above a drive-through
garage, it is designed as a sequence of framed views — each room capturing the vertical
rhythm of pines, shifting daylight, and the subtle movement of the landscape. Boundaries
dissolve as floor-to-ceiling glass opens living spaces to broad terraces and cantilevered
balconies, allowing the forest to inhabit the interior as much as the residents inhabit the site.
A finely tuned steel frame enables deep overhangs and slender structural lines, giving the
house its floating clarity. These long spans soften the transition between indoors and out,
casting calibrated shadows across stone floors and hand-finished wood surfaces. Every
junction, from the precision-cut steel connections to the custom millwork, reflects an elevated
commitment to craft. Materials are chosen not only for their beauty but for the way they register
light—the warmth of timber, the quiet solidity of stone, the reflective sheen of metal.
The owner’s collection of art integrates seamlessly into the architectural language. Display walls
and open sightlines turn circulation paths into gallery promenades, while the garage level
becomes both threshold and exhibition space for the automobile collection. At dusk, the home
glows lantern-like within the pines, revealing a composition where structure, material, and
nature are held in delicate balance. It is a dwelling shaped less as an object in the woods and
more as a crafted extension of the forest itself.
The project began with an unexpected challenge: the original lot, once selected for its beauty,
became untenable when neighboring homeowners objected to the presence of a modern house.
Rather than compromise the vision, the team embraced a new site, one even more deeply
woven into the pine forest, and treated the change as an opportunity to refine the project’s
relationship to nature and craft.
Working within a densely wooded parcel required choreography as much as construction.
Limited access routes, the need to preserve mature trees, and the precision demands of steel
erection shaped a carefully phased process. Contractors navigated the site with restraint,
placing each piece of steel like a line of poetry between trunks. The resulting frame, powerful
yet minimal, was later infilled with lumber to create a hybrid system — efficient, warm, and
capable of carrying cantilevers far beyond what wood alone could achieve. These extended
overhangs became the project’s quiet gesture of shelter and shadow. Collaboration with the interior designer was integral to the home’s harmony. Together, the team
refined material transitions so stone, wood, and metal could pass from exterior to interior with a
single visual glance. Craftsmanship elevated everyday moments: concealed hardware, sculpted
millwork, and the sourcing of a solid limestone soaking tub, carved from a single block, all
contribute to the home’s sense of intentional calm.
What emerged is a house shaped by constraint, strengthened by collaboration, and refined
through an unwavering commitment to detail — an architectural refuge where complexity was
transformed into clarity, and obstacles into opportunities for deeper expression.
Material selection became an essential extension of the home’s design philosophy, reinforcing
the crafted clarity of each space. Hand-selected stone slabs were book-matched for the
fireplace and bath walls, creating veined compositions that read like natural murals. Custom-
built windows, engineered with specialty-coated glazing and rigorously pressure-tested, provide
both protection and extraordinary visual transparency. Above, concealed truss framing houses
recessed air diffusers and hidden shades, allowing ceilings to remain quiet and uninterrupted.
The horizontal planes of the flat roof are achieved with a commercial-grade membrane system,
delivering the crisp, modern silhouette the design demands. At the exterior, natural stone
grounds the home to its site, stitching the architecture to the forest floor and rooting the dwelling
in the land from which its materials are drawn.

This transitional bedroom seamlessly blends classic and contemporary design elements. Sophisticated gray walls and a coffered ceiling provide the perfect backdrop for the modern furnishings and neutral tones, creating a serene and stylish retreat. The space is illuminated by natural light streaming through French doors.

Transform your space with the timeless beauty of Olympian White Honed Marble slabs. Created by the re-crystallization of limestone under extreme heat and pressure in the earth, every piece of marble slab and tile has its own unique veining, patterns, colors, and swirls. Marble is ideal for interior, residential, and commercial floors, cladding, fireplaces, kitchens, baths, and more.
