Sonoran Desert Arizona Residence

Featured product: Desert lounge chairs by Marmol Radziner
Architecture: Blakstad Ibiza Design Consultants
Interior Design: David Michael Miller Associates

A modern Mediterranean retreat emerges in the Sonoran Desert, blending the ancient wisdom of Ibiza’s finca farmhouses with a contemporary sensibility. Designed by Rolf Blakstad of Blakstad Ibiza Design Consultants, this single-story home is a masterpiece of understated luxury, shaped by the natural beauty of its Arizona surroundings.

At the heart of the home’s serene living space lies the Desert lounge chair by DANAO, thoughtfully chosen for the relax-sofa area. With its sculptural form and unparalleled comfort, the Desert lounge chair complements the home’s tranquil atmosphere. The piece’s organic design and high-quality craftsmanship echo the home’s harmonious connection to its environment, offering an inviting spot to unwind.

The home’s architecture embraces Mediterranean traditions through a series of interconnected cubes, low-pitched tile roofs, and stone walls excavated from the site itself. The plaster exterior, in a warm desert beige, complements the surrounding landscape. Beveled-edge columns frame a central great room, flowing effortlessly into alfresco spaces such as the infinity pool pergola and dining courtyard.
