She was on a quest to design a home to take in the beauty of the unique desert views and vistas surrounding her hillside site. Placing her trust in the team at PHX Architecture, Tom Boos the builder, and Greey|Pickett landscape architects to create her dream- the team walked the site with the her to study the unique land forms and views and develop the beginning of the creative home design.

 

 

Paying homage to Frank Lloyd Wright’s hemicycle floor plan with intersecting arcs and circles, Erik Peterson AIA, a Taliesin intern and ASU graduate, created the design inspired by her dreams for the site, and space for her unique collection of glass.

The outward curve of the home focuses on views across the pool out to the valley below, while hugging the backyard and creating a peaceful shelter. The roof design is sloped low on the southern exposure protecting the interior from the sun’s harsh rays, sloping up along the north allowing for natural light to flood the interiors- perfect lighting for her glass.

“This is by far one of our most interesting homes to be completed this year, and will be an eye-catcher for sure,” Peterson says.

The home is currently under construction and should be completed this fall.
