Conceived more similar to a loft type space rather than a traditional single family home, the homeowner was seeking to challenge a normal arrangement of rooms in favor of spaces that are dynamic in all 3 dimensions, interact with the yard, and capture the movement of light and air. As an artist that explores the beauty of natural objects and scenes, she tasked us with creating a building that was not precious - one that explores the essence of its raw building materials and is not afraid of expressing them as finished. We designed opportunities for kinetic fixtures, many built by the homeowner, to allow flexibility and movement. The result is a building that compliments the casual artistic lifestyle of the occupant as part home, part work space, part gallery. The spaces are interactive, contemplative, and fun. More details to come. credits: design: Matthew O.

Moody Expressive Abstract Art brings a calm and melancholic feeling to the modern space. Somber blues blend with off whites and black wavy line. Smooth brushstrokes contain relaxed carefree action. The large art bodes well against the black wall for a unique contemporary style. The art is mounted under plexiglass for a sleek look. It arrives ready to hang and floats off the wall with an aluminum cleat hanging system.

Sited carefully around a majestic oak tree, this new 7,000 square-foot residence in Kent Woodlands is built in the authentic craftsman tradition, with an emphasis on highlighting building materials and handcrafted details reminiscent of the stately Green & Green homes in Southern California. The philosophy of the Craftsman Movement embraces the honest expression of materials and allows the handcrafted details themselves to be the ornaments. This philosophy is evident throughout this project. Large hand tooled beams adorn the building while natural boulders edge the landscape.

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.

Inspiration from an unlikely place: Laura Kirar's travels through the Southwest, Patagonia Desert and the Moroccan Sahara gave birth to the Laura Kirar Desert Side Table. The dry, rugged terrain gave Kirar visions of a side table with gently arching lines like the white desert sands and curving dunes. Special attention was given to the joinery detail, serving as a functional and aesthetically interesting element. Stand the Desert Side Table on its side for a taller, slimmer table, or lay it down for a shorter, wider side table. Stack two for an expressive storage area. Hand crafted from walnut or oak solids and veneers; available in a Veiled Walnut or a White Wash Driftwood finish.

This custom canvas art by Zaworks is an abstract expression of ideas through dimension and texture. The monotone colour palette is balanced with light, neutral shades, and gradually transitions to darker shades and textures. The multiple frames come together to create the illusion of one grand painting, while the black shapes bring together the elements of the wall canvas painting and add a sense of depth. The principles of art such as balance, emphasis, contrast and movement, are all present in this unique art. The grey area canvas is all about textures and shapes, and this painting succeeds in conveying the message through its use of geometric shapes and a variety of tones. It is a truly captivating original piece by our art studio, and it is sure to make a statement in any space.
