Positioned near the base of iconic Camelback Mountain, “Outside In” is a modernist home celebrating the love of outdoor living Arizonans crave. The design inspiration was honoring early territorial architecture while applying modernist design principles. Dressed with undulating negra cantera stone, the massing elements of “Outside In” [...]

Estate at Camelback Mountain

The inspiration for the Camelback Estate was the evolution of the white box. The design is a collection of boxlike forms stacked and eroded. The result is a modernist pavilion which allows for an intimate relationship with the local geological icon Camelback Mountain and a full aperture to the city lights of downtown Phoenix. [...]

Desert Pavilion

The unique opportunity and challenge for this project was to enable the architecture to prioritize views. Set in breathtaking Paradise Valley between Mummy and Camelback mountains, two iconic landforms, this lot “has it all” regarding views. The challenge was answered with what we refer to as the Desert Pavilion. [...]

Elegant Modern at Estancia

The primary goal for this project was to craft a modernist derivation of pueblo architecture. Set into a heavily laden boulder hillside, the design also reflects the nature of the stacked boulder formations. The site, located near local landmark Pinnacle Peak, offered breathtaking views which were [...]

Desert Retreat

The genesis of design for the Desert Retreat was the informal dining area in which the clients, along with family and friends, would gather.

PV Ranch Renovation

When longtime friend Linda Criswell asked Architect C.P. Drewett to take a look at this 1970's Paradise Valley ranch for a renovation, they agreed not only did it have potential, but with vision, it could become something special. This PV Ranch Renovation was the down-to-the-studs kind. The owner, [...]

Desert Modern

Believe it or not, this award-winning home began as a speculative project. Typically speculative projects involve a rather generic design that would appeal to many in a style that might be loved by the masses. But the project's developer loved modern architecture and his personal residence was the first project designed by architect C.P. [...]

Northern Exposure

This homage to prairie style architecture located at The Rim Golf Club in Payson, Arizona was designed for owner/builder/landscaper Tom Beck. This home appears literally fastened to the site by way of both careful design as well as a lichen-loving organic material palatte. Forged from a weathering steel roof (aka [...]

European Twist

The name says it all. This lot was so close to Camelback mountain in Paradise Valley, AZ, that the views would, in essence, be from the front yard. So to capture the views from the interior of the home, we did a "twist" and designed a home where entry was from the back of the [...]

Silverleaf Estate

This Silverleaf Estate boasts well over 13,000 square feet under roof. A loggia serves as the backbone for the design. Each space, both interior and exterior, has a direct response to the linear expression of outdoor space. The exterior materials and detailing are rustic and simple [...]
