Located in Scottsdale, AZ, “Desert Modern | Art Collector’s Abode” not only captures the vistas of the surrounding desert, but also provides viewing spaces for the fantastic art collection housed within its walls. The desert modern has primary views from the southwest. Protecting the interior spaces from the southwest sun while making the primary views available was the greatest challenge of the design. The views were very calculated and carefully managed. Every room needed to not only capture the vistas of the surrounding desert, but also provide viewing spaces for the art collection to be housed within its walls. For more details, see the Gold Nugget Awards website.

“Gold Nugget Award winners reflect our industry’s best, brightest and most innovative architects, planners and builder/developers,” said Judging Chairman and Gold Nugget ceremonies administrator Lisa Parrish. “We applaud them all, and we look forward to our June 26 celebration of Merit and Grand Award winners.”
