Desert Mountain Retreat

North Scottsdale, Arizona

Hillside Modern

Designed for an avid collector of modern sculpture, this hillside residence negotiates a 40-foot elevation change using stacked stone retaining elements and floor-to-ceiling glass.

Topographical Harmony

Rather than cutting into the mountainside, the residence steps with the contours of the earth. Every primary living space opens directly to private courtyard gardens.
