Hi everybody. Welcome to another episode
of Iconic Estates. I'm your host Renee D
and today we are checking out a stunning
desert modern home designed by Eric
Peterson of PHX Architecture. Let's go
take a look.
Well, hello Eric. Thanks for having us.
Great to see you. Welcome.
Ah, this is a beautiful home. So, you've
been working on this for the last 2 years.
years.
Yes. Yeah. We're so excited to finally
have this uh built and ready to go. And
as you can see here, one unbelievable
view. And we took this lot and really
sort of flipped it backwards. So the
main street is over there, but that is
our view side. And so we wanted the
whole house to encapture that view.
It's an incredible view. And you framed
it perfectly. And I love this feels like
your signature style. This almost
borderless window that goes into a mass.
I mean, it's just it's it's just framing
a piece of artwork really in this
beautiful entryway.
Well, thanks. We like to blend the
indoors and the outdoors, and this is a
really amazing lot to do that on because
we really just wanted to capture all of
that exciting uh desert landscape and
make it feel like there's no boundary
between what is inside and what is outside.
outside.
So, on day one, was it obvious to
everybody what this house was going to
how it needed to be oriented on the lot?
Well, it was obvious to me and thank God
to our developers, it was obvious to
them to hire us to create something
because on a lot like this, it had been
sitting for quite a while. And so, for
us to come and think creatively out of
the box was really what it needed. And I
think that's why it sat so long because
you could see it's stunning lot, but I
don't think a lot of people knew what to
do with it.
Yeah. Well, so this is the key of having
a great architect because one of my
favorite things is being in some of
these homes and thinking, well, who
would ever want that? And then all of a
sudden you orient a beautiful home on a
beautiful lot and you realize that
there's really a gem to be had if you
work with somebody who knows how to find it.
it.
Yes. That's right. And then you have to
treat this as as if you're sort of on
the ocean. Like every one of these views
are golden and so you want to capture it
as much as possible.
Yeah. So, okay. Well, let's walk through
the house. Let's go to the main area
first. And so, what was your concept
behind all this? This is beautiful open
living area.
Yes. Well, we wanted to blend all the
spaces together as much as possible, but
also each room has a bit of character.
So, we just didn't want a cavern. So, as
you can see, as you move into here, it's
quite open, but yet it has a comforting
space to it. The ceiling drops in a
little bit. It's a little bit more cozy,
but it's completely open to all the
other rooms.
So, I like how you use the word cozy
because cozy interiors was the interior
designer on this house, and it does have
a cozy feel. Yes. So, you said it had
kind of a gentleman's suit sort of theme
as they were selecting.
Yeah, we wanted it to be a little bit
sophisticated and have those deep wood
tones and pattern and great materials.
So, I'm noticing this house, I haven't
seen this for a little while, but
there's a lot of stone on the interior.
What was your thinking with that?
Again, partly to warm it up and to bring
some texture in it. stone always looks
amazing with lighting and we've done
some really amazing lighting effects on
it which is very exciting for us to do
but we also wanted to make again that
connection between the indoor and the outdoor.
outdoor.
It's really beautiful. So I feel like
it's light and bright in here but it's
also a little bit dark and moody. They
the interior designer accomplished both.
And so the home the home builder was
Travis Custom Homes. Um and so this is a
new team that I'm not familiar with. So
tell me a little bit about the team.
Well, we've known each other all for a
long time, but haven't really had a lot
of opportunities to work together. So,
this was sort of our big shot, and we
really wanted to merge all of our brands
together and do something you new and
unique. And I think we accomplished that.
that.
Yeah, it's beautiful. And I really like
this linear lighting in the ceiling.
That's another really great modern touch
as well.
And what it does is it sort of blends
between the two rooms, right? So this is
one really big space, but again we're
trying to create separate zones. So we
have the kitchen zone and then we have
this sort of intermediate zone that uh
is the outdoor bar, an indoor bar, a
wine celler, a sitting area. And even
though really there's no walls that
separate it, you feel like you're in
your own space here.
Yeah, it's beautiful. I feel like um
glass walls are just where we're at. And
again, as we look towards this
spectacular view, again, the signature
kind of like just there's no walls. It's
just framed in glass to like look like artwork.
artwork.
Yeah, I think sitting here uh both in
the daytime and at night time and being
able to capture the entire Camel Black
Mountain view, it is really stunning.
And then of course working in with the
backyard, we had to screen a very busy
street that is right behind that wall
there. So doing water feature elements
and incredible landscape really just
makes you not believe that there's
anything beyond that except more landscape.
landscape.
When that landscape grows just a little
bit more, you certainly won't see it.
And I can tell you this, you cannot hear
it from here. So great construction
because I don't hear any of it. This
house feels very quiet and peaceful
here. What are some of your favorite
parts about this house?
Well, certainly this this room is
stunning, you know, and I think you
could just spend hours just in this one
room entertaining or just hanging out
and it doesn't feel cavernous,
which is something that I feel like we
bring to all of our projects. And the
natural light coming in, which I think
is just so
I think healthy, just invigorating. When
we were talking about health earlier, I
think that this type of a house really
encourages a healthy living.
It does. Yeah. You know, um, bright
light is good for us health-wise and it
also helps with a healthy attitude and a
healthy attitude is the beginning of everything,
everything, [Music]
[Music]
you know, like I really love like the
stone. I'm really liking. So, I want to
ask you about this. So, the use of the
stone in this powder, this is gorgeous.
this texture in here. Yes,
the stone throughout the house, I think,
is one of my favorite parts. But this is
really quite an investment that somebody
made to have real stone.
And I think it's important not only to
bring in that that natural material on
an inner part of the room, but it also
adds to that textural quality of the
light bouncing off of it. You get that
shade and shadow and it's just something
really interesting that you bring into a
potter room.
Yeah, I mean powder room should always
be amazing. And then I love how you lit
it over here. I mean, that really is a
beautiful feature. I'm sure at night,
this is a gorgeous wall.
And on both sides of the hall, we
highlighted it with that stone and lit
it off to the sides. And again,
capturing that warmth, the texture, and
the shade and shadow.
So, this office is really cool. How do
these doors work?
So, we wanted to have something that's
open to the entry, but if you're going
to be in a private meeting, then these
both come in at the corner and close
off. And so there you feel like you've
got a little bit of privacy, but yet
again you don't feel like you're
completely closed in. Yeah,
Yeah,
that's really fun feature.
Yeah, that's really nice. I haven't seen
these. I love this. Okay, so what was
the thinking with the primary suite?
Well, again, we really wanted to create
that as a little bit of an oasis in the
house and and to be able to come in your
own area and have a little morning bar
when you first walk in. And then again,
capturing that stunning view, having
your own private patio space that is
gives you some privacy from the rest of
the house.
Really great TV and fireplace wall, so
you could sit here and watch before you
go to bed.
So pretty. Well, and again, let the
light come in. I love this double-sided
vanity. You know, I like this concept.
So, this is such a great thing to have.
It really does give you your own
separate sides for privacy, but still
has that engagement between the two
people living here. And it allows you to
have all that natural light coming in
and allows you to have those incredible views.
views.
Beautiful views. All right. So, what is
out here?
Well, this becomes your little private
oasis to come out and you could do yoga.
We could get a jacuzzi and a spa out
here or just have a little quiet sitting
space that's right off your master bath.
I love it. This is a good place to put
the cold plunge. Yes.
Yes.
So, ooh and ah for this closet. I love
the darker features in here. This turned
out great.
Yeah. Well, how about this? I mean, who
wouldn't want to have something like
this? So, we decided to make this really
feel like you're in a men's uh uh shop
essentially. And it has the dark
cabinetry and of course all the shelving
that you would need for your shoes and
purses and handbags and jewelry and and
of course all the clothing that you
could possibly do to fill it up.
Well, this looks like a Ralph Lauren boutique.
boutique. Yes.
