Scottsdale, AZ
Contemporary Desert Horizon
A modern desert refuge shaped among ancient boulders, offering stone paths, hidden gardens, and quiet perches framed by the mountain landscape.
A special destination situated in the middle of the McDowell mountains of Northeast Scottsdale, this contemporary glass-and-steel residence embraces the magnificent boulder outcropping, fully integrating the stunning geographical features into the design and landscape of the property.
A natural stone-and-granite path winds through enormous monoliths, some of which dwarf the house itself, to the rest of the property, culminating at a sculpted bench perfectly positioned for sunset vistas.
Visitors approach the entry by passing between massive stones and crossing a bridge into the foyer.
Inside, a hidden zen garden is cradled by three wings of the home, while an organic rock–lined firepit and a spa tucked amid full-scale rocky giants provide serene, private moments at every turn.
