The primary goal for this project was to craft a modernist derivation of pueblo architecture. Set into a heavily laden boulder hillside, the design also reflects the nature of the stacked boulder formations. The site, located near local landmark Pinnacle Peak, offered breathtaking views which were largely upward, making proximity an issue. Maintaining southwest fenestration protection and maximizing views created the primary design constraint. The views are maximized with careful orientation, exacting overhangs, and wing wall locations. The overhangs intertwine and undulate with alternating materials stacking to reinforce the boulder strewn backdrop. The elegant material palette and siting allow for great harmony with the native desert. The Elegant Modern at Estancia was the collaboration of many of the Valley's finest luxury home specialists. Interiors guru David Michael Miller contributed elegance and refinement in every detail. Landscape architect Russ Greey of Greey | Pickett contributed a landscape design that not only complimented the architecture, but nestled into the surrounding desert as if always a part of it. And contractor Manship Builders -- Jim Manship and project manager Mark Laidlaw -- brought precision and skill to the construction of what architect C.P. Drewett described as "a watch."

Our office was commissioned to transform two 600 sq. ft., 3-story trinities, and a 1,000 sq. ft. 2-story carriage house into a unified home with a modern industrial loft aesthetic. Multiple property owners and various prior uses, including a plumbing supply and rental apartments, left the property with a convoluted plan, poor circulation and multiple structural deficiencies. The new organizational strategy required a complete reconstruction of floor and stair framing. The main living, kitchen, dining and study were moved to the 2nd floor allowing parking, a home office and guest suite on the 1st floor. The main sleeping/bathing quarters are on the 3rd floor as well as a common roof deck reached via an industrial open riser stair. The industrial aesthetic carries into the kitchen via galvanized ceilings. A hickory floor extends throughout the home while brick walls are left raw as are steel support lintels.

Before the extensive programme of sensitive repairs, refurbishment and redevelopment was undertaken Syningthwaite Priory farm comprised a Grade 1 listed Priory, with an attached 19th century farm house, a stone threshing barn and later ranges of agricultural building set out in a courtyard arrangement. Read more The Cistercian Priory, which dates from 1155, had been on the Buildings at Risk register prior to work commencing. Wildblood Macdonald were involved in extensive negotiations with English Heritage and the local planners to agree a strategy for the repair of the buildings and securing their long term use. The resulting scheme converted outbuildings into luxury holiday accommodation, with the threshing barn being carefully rebuilt and remodelled to provide visitor accommodation. The Priory has been subject to a painstaking sensitive programme of repairs to the external fabric. A further phase of work will see the interior of the Priory refurbished and updated to provide a family home for the owner of the site.

Areal drone view of the double story rear extension with green roof. The design of the extension closely followed the complex planning strategy that was taken in order to allow this house to achieve a 6 meter rear extension under planning regulations. The two extremities of the ground floor extension has to be built first to comply with prior approval requirements and only then was the centre infilled and the first floor extension constructed.
