Seven Desert Mountain Model Home featured in Modern Luxury

Material Matters

THE PROJECT
Located in a newly developed desert-surrounded golf community—Seven Desert Mountain in Scottsdale—this clean-lined space was a collaboration between Ownby Design, Drewett Works, and Cullum Homes.

THE DETAILS

“The kitchen was designed for ultimate functionality while keeping entertainment needs at the forefront,” says architect C.P. Drewett of Drewett Works. “Our primary objective was to derive our inspiration from the sharp and handsome architecture and warm desert environment,” adds Claire Ownby of Ownby Design. “Bringing the house stone onto interior massings and using timeless natural materials were just a few of the ways we achieved this goal.” In lieu of a second island, the team created a casual counter-height dining table.

THE OUTCOME

The kitchen—which has received multiple design awards—came together seamlessly. “Peace, tranquility and positive energy are all feelings one will get when standing in this kitchen space,” says Ownby, who notes that the appliance layout was fine-tuned to put efficiency at the forefront. “This space is the heart of the home, surrounded by elegant living spaces and seamlessly connecting to picture-perfect outdoor living,” adds Drewett. “And who doesn’t love living on a golf course? It’s beautiful every day of the year.”

Our primary objective was to derive our inspiration from the sharp and handsome architecture and warm desert environment. ”
