Guirey Residence – Arizona Architecture Classic

Originally designed and conceived in the 1940s, it grew with the Architect’s family and needs.Nowadays the house remains a shining example of regional Modernism that has been untouched and unaltered by trend or fashion, maintaining a timeless elegance that clearly speaks about the place we live, the time and materials we used, and an ethic of scale.

The spaces are filled with perfectly filtered light that is carefully balanced with well-designed overhangs, trellis and thoughtful plantings. The spaces are generous yet comforting, offering simple details like the large working kitchen, clever storage and woodwork that nears perfection. The interior is cosy and comfortable, not very modern, but you have everything you need. The terrace is partly covered so as to protect those who want to have dinner there even if there is a bit of rain or cloud. Most of the building material is wood and this gives the residence a familiar air, as if you were feeling at home even if you are just visiting. Comfort and generosity, space and family.{via azarchitecture }
