Relaxed Living in the Desert Challenge:
Designing a retirement home that takes advantantage of the dramatic mountain views and encourages casual living.
Solution:
Upon entering this home, one is aware of the visual impact of simple geometic forms that provide the interior drama. The mountain vista becomes the backdrop painting. Space is divided into the entry that welcomes guests, “the gathering room” for conversation and TV watching, the intimate dining room and a kitchen central to all the living activities. In each room, contrasting textures of natural stone, wood and tile are layered with metals, fabrics and subtle color. Complexity of scale and depth of detail create a unique desert home.

When Linda first proposed some of the colors she wanted for us in our home - we were concerned - they just were not color choices we had ever considered. But trusting her was a big part of our commitment - and the results were magnificent. Linda's use of color and texture transformed our house into an extraordinary home.
