Artist House

The Art of the Remodel

This is modern urban living that people crave. An appealing neighborhood. Houses that are scaled just right. And a blank canvas for an artistic buyer with a vision. This whole-house renovation elevated common to captivating with a relaxed, inviting vibe and a few charming surprises.

Every space inside has been completely renovated. The new kitchen is bright, compact and clever. A skylight floods it with natural light. Matt black granite counters with chiseled edges make a statement. And we carved out an adjacent pantry to create generous storage space. Down the hall the master bath is the ideal space for self-care and comfort. Soothing colors and textures. Custom cabinetry. A massive walk-in shower. It’s spa-like right at home.

 The outdoor living space is design-magazine ready. A new terrace keeps it light and cool with integrated fans and lighting. Custom stonework stretches the width of the house with dedicated areas for dining and lounging. And the cool blue pool emphasizes the yard’s see-and-be-seen elegance. Depending on the crowd the Artist House can be a glamorous place to entertain, an inspired place to work or a cozy spot to hang on a lazy afternoon.

Working Ranch House

Preservation & Renovation 

This Tumacácori ranch house is a Spanish Colonial classic with a grand, yet livable graciousness. Authentic sun-baked adobe brick. Stucco. Vigas. Hand-rubbed plaster walls, carved doors and millwork. It’s all here. Though much of it needed a respectful update.

The 100-acre property includes a 5,000 square foot main house and several additional buildings all composed in the fashion of a traditional Southwestern homestead. Although a lovely compound, it had been disfigured by misguided updates over the years. So the current owners set about to restore and update the home for a modern lifestyle.

After careful planning and design we replaced the mechanical systems — electrical, plumbing and HVAC — to meet 21st century standards without compromising the historical integrity of the structure. Ill-conceived interior embellishments were removed. Wood, tile and stone floors were repaired. Plaster walls refinished. And the kitchen was completely updated with custom cabinets, high-end appliances and fixtures. Complimentary work was done to the pool house and elsewhere to enhance the outdoor livability. Most importantly the entire project was guided by thoughtful consideration for the home’s original nobility. It’s the perfect balance of preservation and renovation.

Green Valley House

Read the Room

Following a major renovation, every room in this home now has something fascinating to say. Ultimate comfort. Exquisite finishes. Stunning views. This Green Valley home has reconsidered every inch and every angle to gorgeous results. And as any designer will tell you, it’s the details that make a difference. 

 No wonder people are drawn to a kitchen. This one is a true gem. Custom white casework adds a refined aesthetic. Ample storage isn’t a problem with floor-to-ceiling cabinets. Silver and chrome accents are modern and sophisticated. The large center island in contrasting dark wood with a deep-set quartz top elevates a counter space to a performance space. As for the details? There’s a custom tile backsplash. Pot filler above the stove. Apron-front stainless farmhouse sink. A custom iron grill for the air supply. Interior cabinet lighting. Integrated refrigeration. Nothing has been overlooked.

 But the master bath is pure Arizona soul. This room is every bit the personal retreat where time seems to slow down just a bit. Custom marble and ceramic tilework. A large deep bathtub. A power shower. And a view that is jaw-dropping. This is what a personal comfort zone should feel like. Like the rest of the house, this room’s a stunner.
