The old fireplace was reinvigorated and now it’s the focal point of this side of the room. Rather than demolish it, the existing brickwork was re-pointed to eliminate the vertical elements and the whole structure was then re-painted. Stainless steel cladding was added to the existing pilasters, creating an entirely new look. A slab of granite “floats” in the firebox, holding an alcohol-burning fire piece.

Saving the oversized beams while turning previously small windows into large sliders and picture windows allowed this space to shine.

Warm, bamboo flooring replaced the slate tiles in the Lower Sitting Room, to add contrast to the tiles left on the stairs and floor above. The stair was framed with low walls, and accented with a light above.

Keen to maximize the entertainment value of the iconic view of downtown Tucson, the homeowners wanted a deck that would both wow guests and feel welcoming and homey all the same.

The freeform pool gently transitions the elements from linear masonry to natural pond stone.
