What We Design

Spry Architecture specializes in:

• Custom modern homes
• Home renovations
• Small-scale commercial architecture
• Mountain cabins and desert retreats
• Churches and prayer gardens

Every design reflects a commitment to clarity, context, and craftsmanship — balancing clean lines, natural light, sustainable materials, and purposeful form.

"Eric's passions for modern architecture and client service are at the forefront of all he does. Eric was collaborative and thoughtful, listening and applying our feedback and providing his years of experience in his responses."

—Allison W

A Modern Approach Rooted in Arizona

Whether designing a luxury modern residence in Scottsdale, a minimalist desert retreat in Carefree, or a contemporary cabin in northern Arizona, Spry Architecture creates spaces that are modern yet timeless, contextual yet bold.

Our work is driven by a belief that great architecture is deeply human — that the best spaces are those where people feel inspired, grounded, and at home.

"Eric was fully engaged during the building process, a key point, because the supervision of the build is as important as the architect's design. Eric supervised and oversaw all stages of the build. ."

—Kathy C
