Residences
Three archetypes, one standard.
Our portfolio spans three architectural traditions, each chosen for how it handles Phoenix light and heat. We do not publish addresses or floor plans; the descriptions below convey the character of each type.
Desert modern
Low-slung post-and-beam homes with deep overhangs, clerestory windows, and courtyards that catch the evening breeze. These residences were built in the 1950s and 1960s by architects who understood passive cooling before air conditioning made it optional.
Typical features: post-and-beam ceilings, polished concrete or terrazzo floors, walls of glass facing north or east, and native landscaping that requires no irrigation.
Contemporary infill
Newer construction in established neighborhoods, built with modern insulation, high-performance glazing, and restrained material palettes. We favor designs that respect the scale of the street while offering the systems efficiency of new construction.
Typical features: open-plan main floors, primary suites separated from guest rooms, covered outdoor rooms, and drought-tolerant front yards.
Historic revival
Restored properties from Phoenix's early twentieth-century building booms — Spanish Colonial, Tudor, and Pueblo Revival styles. We preserve original plaster, tile, and woodwork while upgrading systems to contemporary standards.
Typical features: arched doorways, Saltillo or hardwood floors, thick plaster walls that moderate temperature swings, and courtyards or loggias.
How residences join the portfolio
- Evaluation. We walk every candidate property with a structural engineer and a landscape architect.
- Restoration. Systems are upgraded, finishes are repaired with period-appropriate materials, and outdoor spaces are refreshed.
- Stewardship. The residence enters our rotation of quarterly maintenance visits and between-resident deep cleans.
