This extraordinary modern hillside estate and guest residence were the collaborative vision of award-winning architect Ned Sawyer and renowned designer David Michael Miller, showcasing a masterful balance of architectural integrity and modern refinement. Perfectly positioned to capture expansive, unobstructed views from Pinnacle Peak and the McDowells to the Saguaro-studded slopes of Mummy Mountain, the home embraces its desert setting with seamless indoor-outdoor flow.
Originally constructed of Founders Finish brick—celebrated for its architectural character, strength, and enduring beauty—the residence underwent a complete transformation in 2016, taken down to the original brick walls and rebuilt under Miller's direction with meticulous attention to detail and timeless materials. The reimagined interiors feature a Bulthaup kitchen, Gaggenau appliances, lighting by Alison Berger, Fleetwood doors and windows, motorized Lutron shades, a Savant control system, Portuguese limestone, French oak hardwood flooring, custom rift-cut oak and walnut millwork, and Vola and Duravit fixtures, all anchored beneath a ballasted roof.Outside, a negative-edge pool, designed for year-round enjoyment with heating and cooling, offers a front-row seat to sunrises, sunsets, and desert storms rolling across the McDowells. Every detail of this home reflects an unwavering commitment to design excellencea true statement of modern desert living.
