What We Love: This incredible Arizona desert home features modern details with added warmth courtesy of stone accents. Large expanses of glass walls highlight the spectacular views of the rugged Sonoran desert.

Above: The home’s great room encompasses the kitchen, dining, and living areas into one seamless space. Walls of glass on either side afford dramatic views of the surrounding desert and clerestory windows flood the space with natural light. The entire home is furnished with simple, elegant mid-century furniture—a balance for the wild vegetation just outside. 

Above: Black basalt encases the home’s columns and a concrete floor runs throughout most of the house. Large glass doors retract to open the great room to outdoor entertaining spaces.

Above: The spectacular “live-in view,” complemented by mid-century furnishings, is the star of this primary bedroom. Underfoot, the home’s concrete floor continues into this room, creating a simple canvas for neutral tones and carefully chosen splashes of sunny yellow. 

Above: Clerestory windows allow plenty of light while maintaining privacy in the primary bathroom. Slate-colored tiles envelop the room for a seamless feel that is warmed by the wood cabinetry. 

Above: In one of the guest suites, a large window looks out unto the desert landscape, lending a sense of being outdoors while warm inside.
