National Parks to Ranch inspired projects
This residence adorned the cover of Phoenix Home & Garden magazine for the Masters of the Southwest 2010 issue, which inducted Clint Miller into that honored group. The residence’s courtyard design efficiently incorporates a motor court, garages, swimming pool and backyard views to a natural Sonoran wash, while the courtyard’s architectural character resembles a rural European courtyard which has expanded over time.
The roof is a multi-colored, two-piece, mission clay tile which incorporates a heavy-stacked eve detail. The home embraces human scale with a deeply recessed multi-paneled front door, framed by a richly detailed concrete surround, which recalls similar details in early 1900’s Spanish motifs.
The details and spaces of this home were developed directly from the needs for this family.
