Luxe Cover Feature January 2023
Starting the year off strong with one of our homes on the cover of Luxe Magazine! This cover article features an interior refresh of a Spanish Colonial style home Mark Candelaria designed back in 2005 in PV!
“There’s so much soul in Mark’s architecture, and we wanted to keep that: plasterwork; the richness of the Saltillo tiles, wood and iron details; the brick staircase; the arches," said designer Lauren Wallace. While there weren’t many structural changes needed, the team “updated the lighting, countertops, wall tile and paint, and cleaned up some of the more ornate detailing throughout the residence,” general contractor Frank DiMaggio notes.
Sentimental Santa Barbara
Our Santa Barbara style home lead by architect Meredith Thompson, AIA is in the current issue of Phoenix Home & Garden Magazine. Together with beautiful interiors by Earth and Images , exterior by landscape by Creative Environments and builder West Construction, this dated 4,800 sq. ft. ranch home became a beautiful Santa Barbara style stunner!!
This special home was once the current owner's childhood home/lot, so when it went up for sale she jumped on buying it and making it her forever future-family home! The house was very outdated at this point however and didn't take advantage of the amazing views, so together we decided to build a new, custom home. This allowed us to change the floor plan, update everything and angle the house to open up the views of Camelback Mountain and the downtown Phoenix skyline. Parts of the original home that the homeowner loved were kept and incorporated to the new design, such as doorknobs, lighting fixtures, and other elements that reminded her of her childhood home. For the redesign, the clients wanted a Santa Barbara style home with lots of beautiful details and courtyards that our firm is known for. The home is beautiful while also a functional family home for the next generation.
