Tucked between the McDowell Mountains and Pinnacle Peak, this modern adobe style retreat boasts unique views including Phoenix city lights. Natural desert landscaping is abundant in this area and there is a sense of calm and privacy that is surprising when arriving. The rugged tones that blend the exterior in with nature is contrasted by a clean interior layout. Though this whole-home renovation is focused on modernizing aspects of the design, a warm and earthy interior material palette has been selected as to not lose the original character of the home. Sharp corners of the home intertwine nicely with the occasional soft curve that was kept to keep the exterior character. In a fast-paced and growing area, this renovation balances minimalism and Arizona architectural roots seamlessly.
