“It doesn’t take much imagination to pretend you are taking a bath in a rainforest.” - San Diego Home/Garden Lifestyles Magazine August 2013 James Brady Photography

A soothing palate of materials were chosen and assembled using highly refined details and precise craftsmanship to define the space and draw the eye around the room. Figured teak floor inlays demarcate space and relate texturally to the adjacent tile. The custom designed rosewood vanity with mitered top elongates the room and contrasts the glass tile above. An adjacent custom teak bench with rosewood inlay furthers the palate and compliments the inlayed shower pan which creates a seamless transition from wet to dry spaces. Beautifully milled glass, hardware and rectilinear tapware are precisely aligned in the space contrasting softer sculptural elements such as the white shell tub and porcelain sinks.

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.

This composition captures a corner of tranquility where the sleek functionality of modern bathroom fittings blends with the reflective elegance of a well-appointed space. The white porcelain wall-mounted toilet stands as a testament to clean design, its crisp lines echoed by the minimalist flush plate above. To the right, the eye is drawn to the rich contrast of a black towel rail, a reflection mirrored in the mirror wardrobe doors, doubling its visual impact and enhancing the room's sense of space. The subtle interplay of light across the microcement walls and floor adds depth and sophistication, while the strategic lighting accentuates the smooth contours and gentle shadows, creating an atmosphere of calm sophistication.
