Moon Valley Country Club · Phoenix, Arizona
A golf-course townhouse, completely reconsidered.
Completed ResidenceThe Brief
The original home felt darker and more divided than its golf-course setting deserved. We opened the plan, redrew the sightlines, and built a restrained palette of charcoal, white stone, warm wood, and champagne bronze.
The work is comprehensive, but the intention is simple: make every transition feel natural and every room earn its place.
The Transformation
Deep charcoal cabinetry grounds the open plan, while pale wood floors, champagne-bronze hardware, and softly lit shelves keep the room inviting. A generous island creates a natural place to cook, gather, and move easily into the living space.
The kitchen, family room, and bar were planned as one easy sequence for everyday living and entertaining. A wall of windows carries that experience outdoors to the private patio, layered desert planting, and the golf course beyond. From morning light to evenings outside, the landscape remains part of the room.
A personal ode to the homeowners’ travels through Barcelona, the guest bath centers on a custom black Gaudí-inspired tile wall. Its sculptural relief gives the vanity depth and character, balanced by soft green shower tile, champagne-bronze fixtures, and graphic flooring.
The result is brighter, calmer, and far more connected—an open living environment grounded by sculptural black details and warm natural finishes.
Every Detail Matters
Long sightlines and brighter surfaces draw daylight deeper into the home.
The kitchen, dining, and living areas now read as one continuous experience.
Storage and everyday working zones were built into the architecture, not added as an afterthought.
Interior spaces now look outward, giving the golf-course setting a meaningful role in daily life.
The Reveal
Charcoal cabinetry, graphic tile, pale wood, and champagne bronze keep the palette disciplined. The contrast gives the townhouse energy without sacrificing calm.
Good design can be serious.
