Modern Custom Residence in Scottsdale, Arizona (Community of Winfield)
At the heart of the design is a dramatic natural stand of desert boulders, which the home wraps around — anchoring the architecture to the site and creating a sense of privacy and place. Carefully oriented for views and solar balance, the home's layout opens toward sweeping vistas that include Pinnacle Peak and the McDowell Mountains, offering year-round connection to Arizona’s rugged terrain and natural light.
The spacious great room and primary suite open directly to an expansive outdoor living space, thoughtfully designed for entertaining and connection with the landscape. The backyard includes a custom-designed pool, spa, sun deck, and outdoor kitchen, ideal for the Scottsdale climate. Large sliding glass walls dissolve the boundary between indoors and outdoors, creating seamless transitions and maximizing mountain views and desert breezes.
The James Home is a standout in Spry Architecture’s Scottsdale portfolio — a reflection of the firm’s commitment to site-responsive design, clean modern aesthetics, and client-driven architecture. With its blend of glass, desert stone, and integrated outdoor space, this home exemplifies the firm’s approach to designing modern custom homes in the Phoenix–Scottsdale area that are both functional and timeless.
