Homes Worth Buying
Contemporary Home close to Phoenix Mountain Preserve
July 11th, 2008 categories: Architecture, Homes Worth Buying
Humane scale, lots of light and ongoing interaction with the outdoors, thanks to walls of glass on the first level. Every room offers something exciting. Upon entering we see an open space that can serve as a family room, dining room. Kitchen in the background. I am thinking: Paul Rudolph’s Casey Key home in Florida. And I don’t think this association is too far.
The builder’s representative, Cortney Smith, answered a couple of questions for us:
J: Cortney, Can you tell me about the builder, how did it happen that the company started to build contemporary homes?
C: Identity Construction designs and builds residential contemporary and modern architecture. Our architectural background allows us to collaborate with field conditions in order to achieve the finest design. We manage the entire project with respect to finishes, specialty consultants, budget and schedule. Through this collaboration we strive to produce architecture that is unique and a final product that is beyond expectations of the client.
J: Who orders the homes and where else are located those, that have been built?
C: Though the company as been incorporated since 2004, only a few select contemporary homes have been successful built. There locations include Phoenix, Rio Verde, Scottsdale and Fountain Hills. Most of the business is generated through word of mouth, as their philosophy is the greatest recognition is a successful project. Jason Smith has a background in various building styles, contemporary and modern being his favorite. Clientele ranges, most of them want them to be unique and want their home to be like an original piece of art.
J: What are the most unique features and solutions that you think are the most important about this home?
C: The project on 27th Street was designed around a floating living box set upon a central living that is anchored by concrete mass. The u-shaped masses spoon private places while the store font glazing flood the living with natural light. The cantilevered upper portions of the structure provide protection from the sun in the living area’s as well as insulating the 1600 sq ft. The upper steel portion of the home holds the three bedrooms and was juxtaposed with minimal glazing and increased insulation to buffer the lower section.

April 23rd, 2008 categories: Homes Worth Buying
This may just be one of the better places to spend some time with good neighbors and friends. A large courtyard with a view of the city and the mountains. A few tables and more chairs, there is enough room for them at the outside fireplace where you can heat up in the cool evenings of the Arizona spring of fall or grill some organic free range chicken sausage on a stick, and have lots of beer, dark ales or a porter.
In the huge, quiet garden enjoy the fireplace and a good conversation in the built in heated spa while listening to the 2 water falls on the other end of the yard, flowing into the pond. Does this spark your interest? Well, this beautiful home is for sale.
