Phoenix, Arizona
​

Designed for a family whose mother is downsizing to live on site, the project supports multigenerational living while preserving a sense of independence and privacy for both households.

​

Beginning with the alteration of an existing backyard shed into a more gracious guest house, the scope expanded to include a new pool area framed by raised planting beds, a covered patio attached to the primary residence, and a reworked landscape with defined zones for circulation, gathering, and play.

​

Responding to the scale, materials, and textures of the historic home, the contemporary additions were shaped in close collaboration with the clients to express a clear distinction between old and new. Planned as a multiphased project, the site is designed to evolve over time as the family settles into shared life in the rapidly growing urban core.
