An almost surreal Paradise Valley, AZ backdrop
composed of the iconic ridges of Camelback and
Mummy Mountains carving a desert horizon out of
the sky sets the tonal aspiration for this guard-gated
enclave of 66 homes. Residences detailed and finished
to fuse modern and transitional architecture into a
balanced whole seamlessly cross indoor space into
outdoor living and back again, all with loving homage
to the site's natural desert beauty and the project's
target upscale customer.
Built-in Gaggenau
®
appliances, wide-plank wood
flooring, modern gas fireplaces, rolling walls of glass –
many with lower levels and elevators – contribute to
a project that, the judges felt, creates an easy, elegant
and energized flow indoors or out, for residents and
their guests.
