The Winners Are ….
We all know why a spectacular home thrills us so much. But what do architects look for when they officially recognize the exceptional places created by their peers? Our cover story presents award-winning houses from the annual Home of the Year and Interior Architecture Home of the Year competition, held by the Southern Arizona Chapter of the American Institute of Architects. See all the jaw-dropping details beginning on page 20.
A touch of Tucson recently reached the country’s capital at the U.S. Botanic Gardens. Tucson Botanical Gardens was chosen to design an exhibit in Washington, D.C., as one of 20 regional specialty gardens. See this barrioinspired garden, created by Landscape Designer Maria Voris, on page 30.
The kitchen is often the primary gathering place when entertaining, but sometimes its best to take the party outside. Peruse our pictorial collection on page 36 of outdoor kitchens.
While some homeowners are having pools installed at their residences, others are bidding adieu to pools that have outlived their usefulness. To see how two backyards were transformed through pool removal, turn to page 42.
Another way to makeover your outdoor spaces is with pretty pots and decorative artworks. Read our profile on page 16 of The Happy Saguaro, which sells a wide variety of indoor/outdoor décor.
And our featured craftsman this month is a second-generation family affair — Perry Luxe L.L.C. See their story on page 18.
