A winner of the 2017 AZ People's Choice Award, Strata House is a 30,000 sq. ft. residential project inspired by hillside mid-century modern homes in California. The design begins with the excavation of the property’s landscape to create a series of curved, vineyard-like terraces. The custom residence, with its straight lines and clean geometry, stands in stark contrast to the sculpted outdoor space. The lower level is fully exposed to the base of the hill with expansive glass walls and features resort-like amenities, including an indoor lap pool, a luxurious change room, massage and spa treatment rooms, and a hammam spa.
Blurring the boundaries between the interior and exterior of the home, expanses of wood-framed modern glass windows capture the dynamic scenery created by the terraced landscape. A major showpiece and focal point of the home is a glass-encased sculpted staircase with an integrated oak handrail. The modern aesthetic of the residence is paired with locally sourced Eramosa limestone, Cottonwood limestone, and zinc to produce a timeless and enduring design.
