Scottsdale, AZ
Contemporary Desert Horizon
This modern desert refuge is 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 among massive boulders—some taller than the house—leading through the property to a sculpted bench with perfect sunset views.
Visitors approach the entry by passing between massive stones and crossing a bridge into the foyer.
Inside, the thoughtful design includes a hidden zen garden that 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.
