This speculative infill community on the site of the former Kachina Day School is comprised of four modernist homes that offer spectacular views of nearby mountains. https://www.drewettworks.com/urban-modern/ Project Details // Urban Modern Location: Kachina Estates, Paradise Valley, Arizona Architecture: Drewett Works Builder: Bedbrock Developers Landscape: Berghoff Design Group Interior Designer for development: Est Est Interior Designer + Furnishings: Ownby Design Photography: Mark Boisclair

Located on leafy North Dayton in Chicago's fashionable Lincoln Park, this single-family home is the epitome of understated elegance in family living. This beautiful house features a swirling center staircase, two-story dining room, refined architectural detailing and the finest finishes. Windows and sky lights fill the space with natural light and provide ample views of the property's beautiful landscaping. A unique, elevated "green roof" stretches from the family room over the top of the 2½-car garage and creates an outdoor space that accommodates a fireplace, dining area and play place. With approximately 5,400 square feet of living space, this home features six bedrooms and 5.1 bathrooms, including an entire floor dedicated to the master suite. This home was developed as a speculative home during the Great Recession and went under contract in less than 30 days. Nathan Kirkman

Believe it or not, this award-winning home began as a speculative project. Typically speculative projects involve a rather generic design that would appeal to many in a style that might be loved by the masses. But the project’s developer loved modern architecture and his personal residence was the first project designed by architect C.P. Drewett when Drewett Works launched in 2001. Together, the architect and developer envisioned a fictitious art collector who would one day purchase this stunning piece of desert modern architecture to showcase their magnificent collection. The primary views from the site were southwest. Therefore, protecting the interior spaces from the southwest sun while making the primary views available was the greatest challenge. The views were very calculated and carefully managed. Every room needed to not only capture the vistas of the surrounding desert, but also provide viewing spaces for the potential collection to be housed within its walls. The core of the material palette is utilitarian including exposed masonry and locally quarried cantera stone. An organic nature was added to the project through millwork selections including walnut and red gum veneers. The eventual owners saw immediately that this could indeed become a home for them as well as their magnificent collection, of which pieces are loaned out to museums around the world. Their decision to purchase the home was based on the dimensions of one particular wall in the dining room which was EXACTLY large enough for one particular painting not yet displayed due to its size. The owners and this home were, as the saying goes, a perfect match! Project Details | Desert Modern for the Magnificent Collection, Estancia, Scottsdale, AZ Architecture: C.P.

A fresh and inventive response to the McMansion, this new 4,000sf speculative development home has been meticulously designed and executed to deliver a tasteful and functional floor plan which reflects modern living.

This build was one that we took on to discover if we could build a more cost friendly home, and still have some of the same elements as the majority of our other speculative homes. We discovered that although we came in at a lower price point. We had to remove some of the elements that we desire in our homes. We loved the interior layout of the home, but felt that the exterior curb appeal was not exactly as we would have liked. Philip Slowiak Photography
