Inspired by the forms of nature that surround it, the home appears to be a natural event in the landscape. "A house is more a home by being a work of art." - Frank Lloyd Wright Design of the living areas is based on space flow rather than an arrangement of rooms. Open areas are contrasted with intimate spaces. Built-in Shelving of Black American Cherry Wood lines the entry to the great room. Custom designed clerestory windows of leaded glass reflect & change the quality of the light in different seasons & at different times of the day. Functionality is embodied in the design of the gourmet kitchen. Varied roof levels & overhangs create shade & visual appeal. Open areas are contrasted with intimate spaces. A curved wall with built-in media center defines the family room space without confining it. Designed by John Rattenbury of Taliesin Architects, this remarkable home in Desert Highlands is a work of art in the "Wright Style." A classic example of "organic architecture," the home nestles into the site & becomes a natural part of the land. In harmony with the environment, the home blends into the landscape. Walls reach out & embrace the landscape. A custom wood front entry door with geometric design elements of copper & leaded glass provides the first hint of what lies within. A welcoming foyer embraces guests with natural light from the skylight above. Teakwood Sandstone floor tiles flow throughout the living areas of the home. Colors & textures are simple & harmonious. 10040 E HAPPY VALLEY Road, 286, Scottsdale, AZ 85255 Varied ceiling heights provide scale and visual appeal. Interior & exterior space are linked visually by glass providing a sense of expanse & freedom. Curved shapes tend to be more comfortable than square shapes. A skylight balanced with indirect lighting provides warmth to the interior space of the kitchen & breakfast area. The large center island with Viking 6 burner gas cooktop & custom copper hood is the centerpiece of the kitchen. A built-in Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer, Gaggenau double convection wall ovens, built-in microwave, wine chiller & 2 Asko dishwashers add to the efficiency of the kitchen. Natural materials, such as Black American Cherry Wood & stone, coupled with natural light from the skylight create a restful environment in the powder room. Black American Cherry Wood cabinets in the utility room combine beauty and functionality. The master bedroom is spacious, yet perfectly proportioned to human scale. Horizontal lines create an environment of rest & repose. Large sliding glass doors provide an intimate connection between the indoor space & outdoor gardens. Entering the master suite, you experience a sense of discovery & surprise around every corner. The journey of discovery continues through the master suite to a large study filled with natural light & built-in cabinetry. Moving through the study, you enter His private bath & walk-in closet. A large window & skylight brighten His bath with a ceramic tile shower & glass enclosure. A separate walk-in closet for Her is beautifully organized with built-in cabinets & lighted vanity of Black American Cherry Wood & a full-length 3-way mirror.

The depth & dimension of the roof overhangs creates a sense of shelter. Glass is shaded to diffuse the sunlight and control glare & heat. Natural stone tile flows seamlessly from the interior to the exterior, surrounding the pool & blending with the environment. Optimal site location & orientation captures the scenic mountain views from the pool area. A pebbletec pool in a simple geometric design enhances the beauty of the natural environment. 10040 E HAPPY VALLEY Road, 286, Scottsdale, AZ 85255 A tranquil waterfall enhances the peaceful setting. The depth & dimension of the roof overhangs creates a sense of shelter.
