Interior of the winter vacation home. Scottsdale, Arizona, USA.

Great room with media room, kitchen and dining room

The light and transparent block of the house is represented by a living space with a dining room, a kitchen and a bar with media space. This unit is transparent on three sides and the living room has a 270-degree view of all sights (except the east direction where the hill obscures the view). This living room block seems to be floating in the air. Its main terrace give view toward the Black Mountain to the south, over Cave Creek Regional Park with sunset and views of Spur Cross Ranch, of Skull Mesa, of Continental Mountain to the north.

« Winter » master bedroom

The first master bedroom is on the main upper level with terraces oriented to the southern Black Mountain and sunset to the west. Nearby is a multifunctional room (reading room, office, bedroom with sofa bed).

« Summer » master bedroom

The second coolest master bedroom is located on the lower level, which is formed by the difference in ground level. This lower bedroom is the most buried in the ground and is therefore called «the summer master bedroom» (it is the coolest). Such summer bedroom has a southern view of the Black Mountain and has access to a ground level patio with a mini spa. The terrasse opens to the Black Mountain to the south and sunset to the west. The natural elements are preserved to the maximum: several cacti « break » through the patio decking.
