The lower patio lends itself to informal conversation circles. It is conveniently bordered by the curving 21” high retaining wall, which is attractively clad in Eramosa ledgerock. The wall’s flagstone cap happens to be at the perfect height to provide extra seating when entertaining groups.

As the light of evening begins to fall the crackling from the wood burning fireplace beckons guests to relax and be mesmerized by the dancing flames. With the country property being away from city lights, the twinkling star filled skies can add a special touch of magic.

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 series of LED lights in the pool and spa help to create a soft even glow throughout. The Jandy control system allows the pool lights to be set to a single colour or a changing rainbow of colours, while the ultimate convenience is that most backyard components can be controlled remotely or from inside the home.

After dark, the undisputed highlight of this lower patio is the 36” Dekko gas fire pit, which is constructed from durable lightweight concrete. It is a perpetual magnet for relaxation and conversation. The dancing flames can be delightfully mesmerizing as they add warmth and drama to an evening outdoors.

The slate grey stone coping meshes beautifully with the pool’s natural grey liner. Advances in vinyl pool construction now allow for custom features which used to be exclusive to concrete. Examples here are the pool’s vinyl over steel spa, walk-in steps and underwater swimout benches on each side of the deep end.
