Perched high above with sweeping views of the mountainscape, a private residence in Arizona is a reflection of its surroundings. The luxury home, which sprawls nearly 15,000 square feet of livable space, exudes a majestic and warm environment, with a diverse palette of natural stone flowing seamlessly throughout its exterior and interior design. The comfortable yet elegant residential property was the result of a collaboration between the homeowners and their architect, Jon C. Bernhard, AIA, senior partner at Swaback Partners pllc in Scottsdale, AZ.
“Roof forms were designed to follow the mountain slope, and the climate influenced the deep overhangs and opportunities for indoor/outdoor living,” explained Bernhard, adding his clients were involved throughout the entire design and construction period. “The finish materials were selected to complement regional and site specific influences and high-performance glass was extensively integrated into the design to take advantage of the extraordinary mountain setting and vista views of the desert and city lights.”
