Minnesota-based PKA Architecture recently unveiled a brand new Arizona desert home. Nestled within the Lost Star community in Scottsdale, this residence provides the perfect spot to watch the gorgeous Arizona sunrise while taking in stunning mountain-side views. The luxury amenities are fit for a homeowner seeking elegance and comfort.
Outside the home sits a gorgeous pool with a spa and pool shelves and a back patio with an outdoor fireplace perfect for barbecue nights and get-togethers with friends and family. Louvered exterior details for shade and a butterfly roof design add to the unique features.
Inside is an open-concept living area that is designed to flow seamlessly. Large windows and sliding glass doors frame the picturesque views, allowing natural light from floor to ceiling. Contemporary finishes, clean lines and a neutral color palette reflects the natural beauty of the desert, creating a serene and inviting environment. Within are two dedicated guest bedrooms, a guest lounge (that could be a future bedroom) and an office.
The cook’s kitchen is equipped with top-of-the-line appliances, making it a dream for any at-home chef. The modern interior is designed by award-winning interior designer Jaque Bethke.
“Design should make you feel both soothed and alive. Most of all, it should make you think, ‘this is my place,’” Bethke said.
The designer, who hails from Scottsdale, has been recognized with over 100 industry awards for residential, commercial and hospitality designs for Arizona and beyond. Her portfolio also includes guest spots on HGTV shows.
PKA Architecture specializes in custom homes, lofts, cabins and boutique commercial projects. The company’s approach envisions architecture as both a science and an art. The design company collaborates on award-winning residences throughout the country with exceptional architects and designers with decades of experience.
Whether by luck or design, many of PKA’s clients share the brand’s passion for lakes, oceans and rivers. Other homes they’ve designed include an organic modern island home, an elegant Georgian mansion overlooking an urban lake, a serene and sophisticated cottage on Lake Superior, and many traditional and contemporary homes on or near the water.
Each PKA project is as unique as the homeowners and is fueled by a respect for the environment, an understanding of how a home should relate to its surroundings, and PKA’s commitment to exceptional design and enduring quality. When creating new homes, they consider what the future residents want to accomplish within the space and design.
