Incorporating elements of Mission, Spanish Colonial and Santa Fe styles, this classic North Scottsdale home embodies a warm, comfortable and livable escape for its owners. The curvaceous interior, which is essentially without right angles, presented a unique challenge for the interior design team, who simplified the floor plan and updated and brightened the decor. The exterior is marked by an intimate entry courtyard, a welcoming backyard poolscape and fully contained guest casita.
