In Plane Sight, featuring a three-level outdoor living space anchored by a pool that seemingly levitates between upper and lower entertaining spaces, was named Room of the Year in the 2019 Best in American Living Awards by the National Association of Home Builders.

With nearly 14,000 square feet of transparent planar architecture, In Plane Sight, encapsulates — by a horizontal bridge-like architectural form — 180 degree views of Paradise Valley, iconic Camelback Mountain, the city of Phoenix, and its surrounding mountain ranges.

A glass entry door provides a glimpse of a private bridge connecting the master suite to outdoor living, highlights the vista beyond, and creates a sense of hovering above a descending landscape, turning the 45-foot elevation change on the lot into a captivating advantage. Indoor living spaces enveloped by pocketing glass doors open to an outdoor, three-level paradise.

The raised peninsula pool, which seemingly levitates above the ground floor plane, becomes a centerpiece for the outdoor living environment and the connection point between lower-level entertainment spaces (home theater and bar) and upper outdoor spaces (living and kitchen).

“Awesome, killer, beautiful,” said Don Ruthroff, Principal at Dahlin Group Architecture Planning, NAHB’s 2019 Judging Chair and 2019 Best in American Living Awards Subcommittee Chair. “The outdoor bridge from the master suite is gorgeous, and the pool is incredible. Outdoor living at its best!”

The house was designed by Drewett Works in Scottsdale and built by BedBrock Developers LLC, based in Paradise Valley. The home’s interiors were designed by Est Est with furnishings selected with the owner, also an interior designer.

Additionally, Drewett Works won the following awards.
