9000 sf custom home on a 15 acre hillside property in the high Sonoran desert in Scottsdale Arizona. Highly detailed and tailored for the clients lifestyle for both daily living and formal entertaining. Quartzite stone walls and terraced design integrate the house with the site allowing all 3 levels of the home direct access at grade to the steeply sloping site. Santos rosewood cabinetry, weathered copper fascia, indirect lighting and soft palette give the home the warmth and comfort desired by the client without the cold starkness often associated with contemporary architecture. Cantilevered overhangs, floor slabs, cabinetry and railings reinforce the horizontal composition of the design which maximizes the panoramic views from all parts of the home.
