Desert House in Albuquerque by Modern Architect Antoine Predock
Bringing a bit of the Wild, Wild West to Albuquerque’s West Mesa, the Mesa House by architect Antoine Predock embraces its surroundings – the sand, the sun, the dusty orange horizon – and brings elements of the environment into its architecture and interior style. A grand stairway leads visitors up to the sheltered courtyard, providing a warm welcome to this contemporary desert house. This modern design boasts a three-tiered vertical floor plan, which leads you from the ground-level garage, through to the raised living area, and up to the master suite topping this stylish abode. Interiors echo with a warm, rustic aesthetic, where comfort is king. An oddly urban fireplace – simple, geometric and very minimalist – becomes a natural focal point for lounging and storytelling. Bi-level terraces extent living space to the outdoors, perfect for entertaining or stealing a moment along with the sunset. Antoine Predock Architect.

Contemporary Dialogue House in Arizona Desert Speaks Volumes
The Arizona desert is a hotspot for modern architecture. Dialogue House, designed by Wendell Burnette Architects, offers a unique balance of light, materials, styles and volumes facing opposite directions. The lower level of the home features the main living areas, and faces towards downtown Phoenix. Perched atop the main level, the upper volume of this contemporary home boasts a work studio and occupies the north-west corner of the property. After sunset, this upper level of the home appears as a floating box of light. This modern oasis in the desert includes a luxurious pool and an enclosed outdoor living area. On the other side of the floor-to-ceiling windows, the grand living spaces include all the usual suspects plus a den, three bedrooms and a loft-like master suite. Wendell Burnette Architects

Luxurious Desert Home in Tuscon, Arizona
The awe-inspiring steep bluffs that characterize the Coronado National Forest, looming high above downtown Tuscon, Arizona have also inspired Voorsanger Architects’ contemporary design of the luxurious Coronado Ridge Residence. This glowing beacon of wood and warm yellow light is quite the contract from its dusty surroundings. The home’s upward-sloped roof welcomes the magnificent view through its expansive floor-to-ceiling windows. Just outside, a pool is an oasis. Inside, the home is geometric to the nth degree – angles of all kinds appearing in raised ceilings, dropped floors, skylights and various built-in features. Interiors boast rich finishes of woods gracing the ceilings while, underfoot the combination of natural stone and woods offer an elegant contrast of warm and cool. Voorsanger Architects.
