01 / Architecture

Three terraces of concrete and glass,
poised above Paradise Valley.

Designed by Victor Sidy, the residence reads as a sequence of low, horizontal planes — each terrace cantilevered toward a different prospect of Paradise Valley. Cast-in-place concrete, smooth white plaster and floor-to-ceiling glazing yield to the Sonoran landscape rather than competing with it.

Twilight view of the home with infinity pool, terraces and the lights of Phoenix on the horizon — Fig. 01 Twilight elevation · cantilevered upper volume, pool terrace, and the city lights of Phoenix on the horizon.

Outdoor dining terrace and pool tucked into the hillside at dusk — Fig. 02 Outdoor dining terrace · pool, lounge and dining set against the rock outcropping at dusk.

Motor court and entry approach — Fig. 03 Approach · motor court framing valley-floor views to the southwest.

02 / Interior

Warm timber, cast plaster,
and a fireplace that runs the length of the room.

Interiors by Dettaglio Design — a study in restrained materiality: smoked oak ceilings, honed stone floors, and a fourteen-foot linear gas fireplace anchoring the great room. The double-height living space opens fully to a covered terrace, dissolving the line between inside and the desert beyond.

Kitchen and living area with linear fireplace

2.1

Great Room & Kitchen. Smoked oak ceilings carry the eye out to the terrace, where the desert light reads warm against honed concrete and matte black steel.

Dining table and kitchen island with marble waterfall and hillside view — 2.2 *Dining at the edge of the kitchen* — round oak table, marble island, and a window cut to the rocky hillside.

02.3 / The Study

A south-facing study,
cantilevered toward the Valley floor.

A quiet corner of the house — twin desks, a curated library wall behind reeded glass, and a sliding panel that opens straight onto the upper terrace. Morning sun does the lighting.

Home office at the corner of the upper level, opening to a terrace with views of the McDowell Mountains — 2.3a *Upper study* — terrace doors to the southwest, oak pedestal desk, a soft camel task chair.

View of the library wall in the home office, with reeded glass cabinets and curated objects — 2.3b *The library wall* — reeded-glass vitrines and a window cut to the rock outcropping behind the house.

Great room looking out across glass walls to the Phoenix valley and McDowell Mountains — 2.4 *Open to the valley* — two walls of glass dissolve the corner, putting the McDowells on axis with the dining table.

03 / The View

Stand at the fireplace and the city falls away.

04 / The Lower Level

Carved into the hillside —
a lounge, a gym, and the lava-rock
that the house was built around.

Below the main floor, the house steps into the original rock face. Sound-dampened oak ceilings, ringed cove lighting, and a pair of rooms that turn the site's geology into a feature instead of a wall.

Billiards lounge with sculptural ring chandelier, lounge chairs, bar cart, sectional sofa and pool table

4.1

The Lounge. A double-zoned room — a billiards table under a sculptural Bocci-style pendant, a deep grey sectional facing a wall-hung screen, and a travertine inset for the bar cart and a pair of swivel chairs.

The lounge from the living end — modular grey sectional, large flat screen and pool table off to the side — 4.1a *The screening end* — modular sectional pulled around a large wall-hung display, ring chandelier above, slate floors throughout.

Long view through the lounge — sofa in foreground, pool table and reeded backlit feature wall in the distance — 4.1b *The long view* — sectional in the foreground, billiards behind, terminating in a reeded backlit panel.

Home gym opened against an exposed black lava-rock wall, with kettlebells, dumbbells and a mirrored treadmill alcove

4.2

The Gym. Slatted oak ceiling, an inset shelving wall of kettlebells, dumbbells and Pilates props, and an exposed lava-rock face running the entire length of the room — left raw as the site found it.
