This private residence sits on a 1.7-acre former horse property within the Phoenix Mountain Preserve. Designed by The Ranch Mine, it offers the owners a tranquil retreat from urban life. The architecture leverages Arizona’s climate through an integrated solar power system and abundant natural light that animates the interior spaces. Large openings, strategically placed glazing, and a central courtyard frame expansive views of the desert landscape and create a seamless connection between the home and its surroundings.
Doors and Windows
The house is fitted with various doors and windows by Western Window Systems that emphasize a natural aesthetic including:
Series 600 Multi-Slide Doors - The central courtyard and main living room are accessed through this sliding door, allowing fresh air to travel inside with covered open-air spaces. The multi-slide doors are made with thermal efficient low-E glass which creates better energy performance, and the aluminum fixtures ensure durability.
Series 600 Window Wall - This floor-to-ceiling window system frames the courtyard and master bedroom, providing views of the Sonoran desert landscape. The Series 600 Window Wall is customizable and features energy-efficient glass, making it an ideal solution for projects like this Phoenix residence which blends indoor and outdoor spaces.
Series 980 Pivot Door - The pivot glass door is hidden in one of the wooden slat walls and leads into the master suite. It can swing in or out, maximizing views and natural light with single-panel large openings.
