Light, and full of light: This Contemporary home in Desert Mountain, the luxury north Scottsdale golf community, expresses clarity of design, sensitive site integration for views and privacy as well as effective materials coordination. Completed in 2009 by Andy Byrnes, AIA, Construction Zone, Phoenix, and designed two years before by Ted Flato, FAIA, Lake|Flato, San Antonio, the one-level includes a master bedroom; two casita suites; a two-car garage; an open kitchen/family room; and an adjacent living/dining area. Says Flato: “Wherever we go as a firm, we connect a home with the climate and the weather, taking advantage of what an area has to offer. In the Arizona desert, sun and desert are always conspiring for your attention — and this home showcases their remarkable power.”
