  • Modern Hillside Home and Multi-Use Shop

    The Harnett Project is a unique and expansive modern residential compound located on a rugged hillside in Mesa, Arizona. Designed by Eric Spry of Spry Architecture, the project includes a 4,800-square-foot custom home and a separate 4,500-square-foot shop, both carefully integrated into a rocky slope that overlooks southern mountain ranges and Mesa city lights. This dual-structure project blends contemporary desert living with high-performance functionality — ideal for a family seeking a connection to the outdoors, while accommodating both lifestyle and work needs.

  • A Home That Embraces the Land and the View

    The main house is designed to weave organically into the hillside, responding to topography while maximizing southern exposure and long-distance views. The open-concept great room — combining the living, dining, and kitchen areas — is oriented toward a generous outdoor living area that frames the city skyline and surrounding landscape. The primary suite is privately positioned a step back from the great room and opens directly to the outdoor living area and scenic view. Other interior spaces include 3 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, an exercise room, and a 2-car garage.

  • A Fully Integrated Modern Shop + Office

    Located opposite the home, the freestanding shop features garage bays below for two vehicles and one RV, plus a dedicated office and bathroom above. The office opens to a private view patio, making it an ideal retreat or work-from-home space. Together, the home and shop are spatially coordinated to preserve privacy, optimize the hillside site, and capitalize on views — while reflecting Spry Architecture’s commitment to clean, modern forms and site-specific design.

  • Functional, Flexible, and Rooted in the Desert

    The Harnett Project is an ideal example of modern architecture that meets real-life demands without compromising design. With its thoughtful layout, multi-use structures, and dramatic desert siting, this Mesa hillside residence demonstrates Spry Architecture’s expertise in delivering complex, livable, and elegant solutions for clients who want more than just a home — they want a retreat, a workspace, and a connection to the land.
