Despite being located in an expansive golf community, the Brown residence celebrates stunning desert views from almost every space. Its careful design makes this possible as views to neighboring houses are edited out focused instead on distant mountains. While the residence presents an unassuming, modest scale to the street, it steps down with the slope of the site allowing the spaces inside to become quite generous. Oversize pivot doors and large expanses of glass allow abundant light and air into these spaces while broad overhangs and shading devices protect them from the harsh desert sun. awards 2011 - Texas Society of Architects / AIA Design Award 2010 - AIA San Antonio Merit Award Architecture: Lake/Flato Architects Contractor: the construction zone, ltd.

Simple, elegant water feature draws attention to the distant view of the mountain.

This master bedroom addition features a neutral palette balanced with textures and subtle patterns to create a calm space and highlight the owners' collection of African art. Two layers of motorized window shades are recessed into the soffits to provide light control. A new linear gas fireplace, recessed TV, lighting, audio, and motorized window coverings are all controlled via remote from the bedside.

When visitors pass through the gate into the forecourt, they experience another array of cantilevered cast concrete steps that “float” up to the front door. Bianchi, a Phoenix based pool and landscape designer, set this rhythmic path to echo the lines and ascending forms of the architects dramatic rusted-steel entry pergola. michaelwoodall.com
