The weather and terrain offered a real challenge for this Lagrange home. The Amendola team works in any weather, and this backyard restoration features a four-season room and large patio and outdoor fireplace. Set on a hill, the home’s extensive retaining walls allowed the homeowners to reclaim space in their yard for endless entertaining.

Located near the base of Scottsdale landmark Pinnacle Peak, the Desert Prairie is surrounded by distant peaks as well as boulder conservation easements. This 30,710 square foot site was unique in terrain and shape and was in close proximity to adjacent properties. These unique challenges initiated a truly unique piece of architecture. Planning of this residence was very complex as it weaved among the boulders. The owners were agnostic regarding style, yet wanted a warm palate with clean lines. The arrival point of the design journey was a desert interpretation of a prairie-styled home. The materials meet the surrounding desert with great harmony. Copper, undulating limestone, and Madre Perla quartzite all blend into a low-slung and highly protected home. Located in Estancia Golf Club, the 5,325 square foot (conditioned) residence has been featured in Luxe Interiors + Design’s September/October 2018 issue. Additionally, the home has received numerous design awards.

The BPI team designed and installed this space in the spring of 2014. The space includes an outdoor dining area with a step down into an outdoor room covered by a cedar pergola with a gas fire feature below. The space was designed on a 45degree angle to play off of the homes architecture and maximize useable green space for the kids. The addition of the levels in the space help to create unique spaces within the space as well as take advantage of the natural terrain of the site. This creative use of materials and textures really added amazing character to the space proving that a well thought out design can compensate for lack of size

This charming bungalow-style house offers a perfect blend of private retreat and community living, nestled amidst lush greenery. Designed for a hillside or side-slope location, it spans three stories with a two-car garage and seamless indoor-outdoor transitions. Accessible via a stairwell from street level, the home boasts plenty of natural light and serene surroundings. The main floor hosts public functions like the living room, kitchen, and porch, while the upper floor houses private areas such as bedrooms and baths. A refreshing veranda and spacious master bedroom with an adjoining gym occupy the first level, all seamlessly integrated with the surrounding landscape. Designed to harmonize with the terrain's slope, the house maximizes natural light and ventilation, offering a tranquil haven for nature lovers.

The foundation of the home envelops the uneven, hilly and rugged terrain underneath. The villa interiors are a reflection of their natural environment, with rustic accents and rugged finishes mirroring the majestic mountain landscape. An interplay of outdoor and indoor spaces, warm wood grains, natural textures and organic palettes allow the home to sync seamlessly into nature.

Morpurgo Architects designed this unique residence to relate to the topography of this 10-acre property. The curved façade facing the pond follows the gently sloped edge of the hill. The many levels of the house are stepped, hugging the rise of the terrain. An entrance courtyard is framed by the redwood facades and enhanced by lush plantings which allow the house to become part of the landscape. This house is as modern today as it was more than 25 years ago when it was designed for a growing family. Recently the client returned to Morpurgo Architects for an addition that led to our creation of an arched enclosure to accommodate a venue for theatrical performances. A large sky-lit glass wall frames a view of the pond, which becomes the backdrop for special events.
