Perched to capture the gaze of Camelback Mountain’s iconic Praying Monk, this hillside residence seamlessly integrates an array of materials to create a striking yet harmonious exterior. Custom-designed steel planter boxes meticulously welded and finished on-site are filled with a curated selection of White Agave, Golden Barrel Cactus, and vibrant Penstemon. Beneath an architectural opening in the roof, a black mosaic water fountain radiates a sense of Zen tranquility, offering a serene welcome at the front door. Panels of one-inch steel tubing extend across the top of the nine-foot retaining wall to preserve privacy while simultaneously framing the breathtaking views that define this exceptional home.
