Residence: Relaxed Living in the Desert
Relaxed Living in the Desert
The beehive fireplace fits snugly in the corner inviting you into the room. The “pop-out” frames the TV while the scupltural seating sets the tone for relaxed living and entertaining in this “gathering room”
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.
What they're saying
Our living and dining rooms were very dark, cluttered and uninviting... Through your excellent space planning, we were able to open up our living area. Your redecorating efforts on our behalf are greatly appreciated.
