A Luxury Residential Development With Distant Views Of Las Vegas

Ascaya is an interesting new dream development that’s still under construction for the most part. This project developed by SB Architects is meant to serve as an exclusive residential development comprised on several individual structures. The estate will eventually include several residences, each featuring its own take on contemporary architecture, with different types of features and luxury amenities.

The architecture and design are simple, linear and very well proportioned

All the residences are designed to communicate with their surroundings and to feature a very fluid indoor-outdoor transition and relationship between spaces.

The social areas are organized in an open floor plan on the ground floor, with large sliding glass doors and views of the desert and the city in the distance.

The kitchen has a large island that doubles as a bar and as a separator between the spaces

Concrete, wood and glass are beautifully used throughout the spaces, complementing each other and maintaining the simplicity of the interior design and decor so the focus can be on the expansive views and the open and airy ambiance. Clerestory windows give the impression of a floating roof and let natural light into the spaces.
