We took our Candelaria Design Team to walk through an incredible home we have under construction spanning 2 lots in Scottsdale’s Arcadia proper. ⁠
⁠
This home is for a large family and in addition to the main house, a second building functions for homeschooling the kids with a beautiful pool, outdoor seating spaces and and veggie gardens in between. Designed to look like a barn, inside there is an entire state of the art gymnasium, a music room fit for aspiring rockstars, an inspiring craft room and an in-home classroom with a full kitchen. Behind the Barn is a full sports court for basketball, volleyball and pickleball. ⁠

We’re rallying together to support our colleague and fellow ARA member, Mark Tate, of .architects in fundraising for The White Gates Pavilion, an exciting new addition to the Shemer Art Center 🏠️⁠

Since 1984 the Shemer Art Center has focused on exhibiting the work of local, emerging artists within its interior galleries as well as providing a multitude of workshops, classes and lecture series for the community. ⁠

The White Gates Pavilion will feature this artistic gate sculpture designed in the 1950s by the visionary architect Al Beadle. This modern structure will stand alongside the historic Spanish Colonial home, creating a unique blend of past and present in one inspiring setting.⁠

Classic Carefree Home Gets a Makeover⁠
Mark Candelaria & homeowner Cheryl Dempsey worked together to revitalize this classic Carefree home built in 1977. Originally designed by Mark’s mentor, Architect George Christensen, the two were extremely thoughtful in what they preserved and what they changed. Some characteristics of Christensen’s design are the varying ceiling heights, small quirky touched and “Arizona Rooms”, which was one room left virtually untouched in the remodel. ⁠

Our favorite Santa Barbara-inspired "Family Farm" custom home in Paradise Valley is featured in the October/Nov issue of Phoenix Home & Garden Magazine out now. This 8,500sf home is set on 5 acres in the heart of Paradise Valley and has space for the whole family, friends and animals to gather.

The couple wanted to build a home where their friends and pets could all come hangout, have fun and not have to worry about the home getting wrecked. They also wanted a barn out back to house goats, chickens and pigs and a pond with ducks. In addition, the backyard also has a resort-style pool, spa and pavilion, a large outdoor dining and living area, outdoor kitchen, putting green, fire pit and plenty of lawn space. And inside, you'll find a ticked out kitchen and blend of Santa Barbara, Moroccan, Mexican and Southwest decor throughout the home.

To see more of this home, take a tour with architect Mark Candelaria & Designer Wendy Black as they take you behind the scenes on the Deign Network's series Extravagant Spaces: https://www.candelariadesign.com/press
