With several spaces that are intended to allow quiet moments and quality time, this Mediterranean-style Silverleaf dwelling from Scott Carson of PHX Architecture offers the epitome of relaxed—yet elegant—desert living.
Kitchen “The book-matched granite slabs selected by the homeowner became the focal point of this tailored, understated elegant kitchen. The simplicity melds beautifully with the simple classical exterior of the home.”
Bedroom “The master retreat provides a place where the homeowner can relax and enjoy the ambience of the fireplace and, at the same time, enjoy the tranquility of the private patio and views to the garden outside.”
Bathroom “The master bath was designed as a spa retreat with an unconventional program. The streamlined Wetstyle tub is the focal point in the vanity/dressing area while the shower and sinks are tucked behind it.”
Pool area “The backyard of this home is all about decompressing and spending time together. The tranquil setting with most of the rooms opening onto it allows for lounging, entertaining and eating allowing for indoor-outdoor living.”
Exterior home entry “Cut limestone accentuates the simple massing of this modern interpretation of a classical formal Mediterranean-style home, complete with a limestone fountain that draws you to the front entry.”
