Outdoor Room
Most of the year, in desert Arizona, outside is inside. This multitasking space serves the family nearly year round: barbecues, swimming and sunsets in summer; firelit dinner parties followed by a soak in the spa during spring and fall. A misting system, diving pool and views of the McDowell Mountains intensify the magic.

WORD TO THE WISE:
“We extended the style and stylishness of the home to the backyard by continuing the dry-stack stone from the main structure to the fireplace hearth and the pool wall. The patio ensembles reaffirm the home’s wood focus.” —Tim Larson
