Architect C.P. Drewett tucked the dining room into a niche off the living room, providing intimacy in an otherwise open area. In the foreground, water runs down a sheet of glass, offering what he calls a “transition moment” between public and private spaces. The table has a shattered-glass top and is surrounded by resin chairs that look like metal. Featured in the November 2008 issue of Phoenix Home & Garden, this "magnificently modern" home is actually a suburban loft located in Arcadia, a neighborhood formerly occupied by groves of orange and grapefruit trees in Phoenix, Arizona. The home, designed by architect C.P. Drewett, offers breathtaking views of Camelback Mountain from the entire main floor, guest house, and pool area. These main areas "loft" over a basement level featuring 4 bedrooms, a guest room, and a kids' den. Features of the house include white-oak ceilings, exposed steel trusses, Eucalyptus-veneer cabinetry, honed Pompignon limestone, concrete, granite, and stainless steel countertops. The owners also enlisted the help of Interior Designer Sharon Fannin. The project was built by Sonora West Development of Scottsdale, AZ.

Includes two 18" leaves to extend to 90" and seat up to 8. Inspired by European 19th century antiques from England and Germany the Highlands collection was designed to create a relaxed yet traditional style that evokes warmth and feel of a country retreat. The main finish is a rich warm deep patina Mahogany while select pieces are available in Antique Black or Antique White finishes. All finishes are accented with Burnished Copper turned knobs.
