Tucked into the base of the McDowell Mountains, this hillside project balances rugged desert character with refined rustic elegance. The natural topography inspired a thoughtful design that embraces sweeping mountain views, dramatic elevation changes, and distant city lights.

Locally sourced stone and indigenous materials ground the landscape in its Sonoran Desert setting, while features like the cobblestone auto court add historic charm. The driveway entry is framed by a stunning canopy cover, setting the tone for a design that flows effortlessly from natural desert to structured outdoor living.

The backyard reflects a Modern European influence, with expansive lawn areas and formal planting that contrast beautifully with the wild surroundings. A standout feature is the zero edge pool. It mirrors the landscape while creating a tranquil backdrop for evenings by the firepit, enjoying time with family under the stars.
