The owners of this North Scottsdale home wanted a traditional Tuscan design. We used large scale furniture to fit the large scale of the home. The many large windows and simple window treatments kept the traditional Tuscan design fresh and current.

This Mediterranean style landscape compliments the style of the home. The fountain in the motor court creates white noise that is reflected from the stucco walls of the house, covering any noise from the adjacent street. The infinity pool reflects the water of the bay. Fire bowls on either side of the pool provide ambience at night. Landscape lighting around the entire property enhances the fountain and palms and lights the way along the brick walkways.
