The master suite was re-configured to include a private water closet, a larger closet, his and her vanities, and soaking tub, and large shower. The ceiling was raised, beams and chandelier added to give height, and also help create a private retreat. The floors are warm limestone laid in multiple patterns to add variety, and help create spots of interest. Photos by Randy Colwell

We used a very linear, classical plan with open piers in lieu of walls and exposed wood beams to create a bright sophisticated interior. The interior incorporates stained, wide-plank flooring, wood storefront (glass stile + rail) doors, barn doors, simple modern and weathered tile, stained, traditionally-finished cabinetry, wood beams, custom lighting, and incorporates the client’s art, collected during their world travels.

This area was a lawn that was difficult to keep watered and healthy. The California drought and an upcoming wedding were catalysts to redesign the space. The existing garden is rustic with a craft style home and brick patio with Connecticut Bluestone walkways inspiring the use of the same materials to create an area for the family to gather in keeping with the existing landscape.

This “Arizona Inspired” home draws on some of the couples’ favorite desert inspirations. The architecture honors the Wrightian design of The Arizona Biltmore, the courtyard raised planter beds feature labeled specimen cactus in the style of the Desert Botanical Gardens, and the expansive backyard offers a resort-style pool and cabana with plenty of entertainment space. Additional focal areas of landscape design include an outdoor living room in the front courtyard with custom steel fire trough, a shallow negative-edge fountain, and a rare “nurse tree” that was salvaged from a nearby site, sits in the corner of the courtyard – a unique conversation starter. The wash that runs on either side of the museum-glass hallway is filled with aloes, agaves and cactus. On the far end of the lot, a fire pit surrounded by desert planting offers stunning views both day and night of the Praying Monk rock formation on Camelback Mountain.
