Ten Reasons to Hire an Architect

1. An Architect can help you create and focus your dream house into a built reality. Architects see the big picture. A skilled architect can help you develop and integrate your list of requirements with the other complex factors to create a unique Arizona home just for you by prioritizing your needs.

2. An Architect is a licensed professional. Architects are educated, trained, and tested in a large range of areas, including aesthetic design, ergonomics, sociology, ecology, law, building codes, construction materials and technology. This breadth of knowledge allows foresight when evaluating competing requirements and restrictions.

3. An Architect will solve your problems with creative, elegant solutions. Architects are trained to make buildings both functional and beautiful. An architect will be able to show you alternatives that you might not have considered possible.

4. An Architect is trained in communication. An architect has experience effectively communicating through written word, drawing, and verbally with the key members of the project including clients, contractors, engineers, and authorities in the manner best suited to the situation.

5. An Architect has experience. Most architects consider architecture a passion more than a vocation. They draw on past experience. They are an integral part of the design/construction community with contacts in all the fields.

6. An Architect can make your life easier! Architects can bring pictorial suggestions to the table and assist in decisions for space planning, materials, and finishes transforming your abstract ideas into a form you can visualize.

7. An Architect is cost effective. A well-conceived, designed, and coordinated project is more economical. Changes made on paper in the design phase are much less expensive than those made during construction.

8. Architecture is a good investment. Great design sells from consumer products to cities. A well designed home has a higher resale value.

9. An Architect can make your building project environmentally friendly. Skilled architects work with the environment to create spaces that are sustainable and comply with ever demanding energy performance requirements.

10. An Architect can guide you through an entire project as your advocate. An architect will be able to assist with every aspect of a project from choosing a site, city permitting, design review board submittals to construction administration. Whether you choose to start a project from the ground up or remodel an existing space, an architect will be able to help the project run smoothly during each stage avoiding disruptive surprises.

Arizona Residential Architects

INVITATION TO LAND OWNERS OR RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPERS The Arizona Residential Architects (ARA) is a distinguished organization of 15 leading residential architectural firms who would like to provide resources and design talent to land owners, real estate individuals or firms, builders, or residential developers for the purposes of creating a new community, neighborhood, or unique collection of homes. The ideal candidates would be seeking the assistance of the ARA as a creative design and/or development coordination partner to help facilitate new community or neighborhood planning ideas and initiatives. The ARA would bring the talents and experience of 15 uniquely diverse residential architectural firms to the projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s residential design opportunities. In addition, the ARA has developed a network of over 100 trade partners. This network includes residential builders, interior designers, residential product manufacturers or representatives, and trade service provision companies. All this knowledge, product resources and experience can be brought to benefit an identified project. The goal is to identify an opportunity where a parcel of land is between 2ac up to 15ac, or more, wherein the ARA Community Team can design a new inspiring residential neighborhood community that creates awareness and promotes new lifestyle and environmental initiatives incorporating best practices, including recognized platforms for sustainability, such as LEED, and/or Green building practices. The ideal opportunity would allow all 15 members of the ARA to design homes for this model community.

BRISSETTE ARCHITECTS Ron Brissette RA, NCARB, Partner Jeff Kamtz, Partner 10229 North Scottsdale Road, Suite F Scottsdale, Arizona 85253 ron@brissettearchitects.com www.brissettearchitects.com 480.596.3882

Ron Brissette was an English Literature major at the University of Connecticut who spent most of his time in the scene shop at the school theater. After college he spent a few years in the professional theater as a technical director, scene and lighting designer. It was a great experience where a passion for design and technical excellence were born, but there had to be something else of permanence where culture, function, and physical environment could come together in an artful way. It had to be Architecture. At 27 he entered the Frank Lloyd Wright School. There he met Jeff, who later after some 15 years of separate career paths, would become his partner. Jeff came from a family construction background starting at a young age working during school breaks and summers. He developed a passion for art and drawing and a desire to study architecture. At 18 entered the Frank Lloyd Wright School. The rest is history with a portfolio of great clients and signature projects realized in many styles and places. A distinguishing feature is their commitment to remaining small and giving principal attention to all aspects of a project. This gives their clients the highest level of personal service and professionalism with the goal of providing unique and practical results for them at every turn of the process.

From concept to reality, Dale takes the vision each client has for their home and makes it a reality. Located directly off Market Street in DC Ranch, the award winning studio office looks more like a residence than a commercial building. Warm rich earth tones greet you at the door, and there is comfortable atmosphere that embraces you. Dale has designed homes ranging from 1,800 s.f to over 15,000 s.f. with budgets that span from $45 to over $1,200 p.s.f. Each custom residence is designed, crafted and personalized to the needs and desires of each client. Design distinction is what makes the difference in their homes, incorporating indoor/outdoor living environments, pool grottos, and other special features or spaces. They blend those unique characteristics into a cohesive design composition in the architectural style desired by the client. Careful consideration is given to the site and orientation of the home, integrating the site topography, solar orientation, and views to the best advantage to create the finest living experience. From traditional to contemporary styles, each residence design that is created by the firm embraces a sense of comfort, and has the uniquely individual design elements that make it truly a custom home.

9834 E. Kalil Drive Scottsdale, Arizona 85260 jameshann@jameshanndesign.com www.jameshanndesign.com 480.661.0517 480.510.1450 James Hann is an artist. Although Architecture is a technical discipline, to him, it is still an art form on a human scale. Licensed in several states, with over 35 years of experience, he strives to create design work as both sculpture and a functional living environment. Every commission is unique and must meet certain criteria to satisfy a client. The process of design involves effective communication and being a good listener. "Understanding and meeting our clients' needs is probably the single most important factor in achieving success with a project. Architectural design is a very personal process ... from concept to completion." While many Architects' design work occurs within a fairly narrow design range, Hann prefers to be known for his creative solutions involving a fairly wide range of design styles. His strength is in the diversity of his work and his ability to interpret his clients' needs without stylistic parameters. James Hann Design, AIA is "Art as Architecture where the greatest satisfaction is realizing his clients' dreams."

Designing a new home is an intensely personal process. Many of our clients are working with an architect for the first time and seek reassurance and guidance: we enjoy listening to their ideas and walking them through the design and construction phases. Our intentionally small size and collaborative approach allow clients to work directly with principal Michael Higgins. Our project team works in an efficient open stuido, allowing Mike to oversee every phase of your job personally. Our design approach can best be described as timeless. We enjoy drawing ideas from our clients; this helps us to understand functional needs and to reflect individual personality in the homes we design. Some clients want a romantic sense of history; others focus on clean, modern details. While setting a high standard for quality, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re flexible in our design approach. The homes we design embrace the qualities unique to each site. We consider energy-efficiency and solar orientation, and have particular experience with hillside homesites. This year Higgins Architects is proudly celebrating 20 years of designing timeless homes, we are looking forward to the next 20!

What can you expect? Last time I wrote about “what is architecture” and published detail oriented photographs representing experience.This time the topic is expectation and what it looks like. For Jones Studio, it never looks the same. We tend not to repeat ourselves. Why? It’s obvious. The people who choose to collaborate with our studio are all different... different budgets, different behaviors, different sites... an unlimited range of constraints and opportunities. The following photo collection includes diverse examples reflecting an ongoing exploration of architectural response to climate, topography, culture, material, size, form, family values and individual expression. The appararent avoidance of “style” results from our ability to identify and develop the unique qualities of each new residential adventure. Therefore, NONE of these examples are similar to the home you can expect. “Probing even more deepliy into different possibilities one finds many different shapes are equally logical - some ugly, some exciting, some earthbound, some soaring.” - Eero Saarinen

Therefore, modern architecture is constantly evolving because as the environment changes, so does the design.

SAGUARO SOGNO RESIDENCE

Brent Kendle

MODERN VS. CONTEMPORARY Modern and contemporary architecture are different ideologies that are often confused. Any house can become contemporary if designed so the lines and finishes are clean and simplified. Modern Architecture is not a style. It is a mindset. Not about finishes nor minimal details but how to approach a design. It is the process of how to arrive at the solution, and what factors drive that solution.

How do you, as a designer, incorporate both bespoke and eco-friendly elements into your interiors for discerning homeowners?

TANYA SHIVELY, ASID, LEED AP

I utilize local craftsmen and sustainable products to create stylish spaces that suit clients’ lifestyles. Each person's unique vision for their home is brought into reality through careful consideration for custom design and pieces crafted by the hands of the area’s talented artisans using responsible materials. This home office in Desert Mountain was designed for a woman who loves the quiet sanctuary it provides. The soothing grasscloth wallpaper adds a colorful texture and natural vibe to the room. The custom cabinets and desk designed by Sesshu Design were constructed locally. For a COMPLIMENTARY copy of my book “How to Avoid Interior Design Nightmares,” please visit sesshudesign.com/ARAbook

The Union of Dwelling and Land Clint Miller’s childhood home was nestled in the hills of Southern California, where large expanses of living room windows framed landscaping, where honest, load-bearing wood beams both supported the home’s structure and adorned its interior. As a youngster, Clint felt a kinship with these simple structures and their textures and proportions, and to the views that revealed the surrounding environment. These early experiences helped shape Clint’s architectural quest to understand the intricate balance required to create a home that forges a natural relationship of dwelling and environment. For more than two decades now, Architect Clint Miller has striven to design homes that form a union with their site ... whether integrating into lush urban communities or growing organically from the surrounding desert ﬂora. Miller’s body of work balances delicate detail and bold composition, melding traditional techniques and materials with sensitive design and application. Each home expresses an organic relationship between site and design; each home respects and embraces its site. Clint’s residential projects have been featured in AIA Home Tours, honored in an AIA Homes of the Year competition, and recognized in an AIA Historical Preservation Exhibit. In March of 2010 he was honored as a Master of the Southwest by Phoenix Home and Garden magazine and has been featured several times on that publication’s cover.

CRAIG WICKERSHAM ARCHITECT Craig Wickersham, AIA 15863 N. Greenway-Hayden Loop #118 Scottsdale, Arizona 85260

info@craigwickersham.com 480.609.6766 I designed my first home when I was 13 years old. This was not on a napkin. It was a full set of drawings for a construction company. Watching that home emerge from the ground the following year was nothing short of miraculous to me. This was the beginning of my love affair with architecture. Working with you to create your home so you can have that miraculous feeling is my life’s calling and greatest joy. I listen to your desires, respect your budget, and help you keep control from start to finish. I’ve had the privilege of training at Frank Lloyd Wright’s Taliesin. For more than 30 years, I’ve helped people bring their dreams to life through remodels, new-builds, and consulting. Your needs are distinct. One client, Michelle, had lived in Minnesota for years with her husband, three sons, and many close friends. When her husband asked her to move to Scottsdale to get out of the snow, she said yes, and engaged me to create a home. After several meetings, I knew something was holding her back. She finally shared how difficult it would be to leave her friends. I asked, “Would you consider allowing me to design a home for you and your friends? A mini resort, if you will?” With tears in her eyes, she said, “That’s what I want! A place where my friends and family can come and visit, just like a resort!” So that’s what we did. When her home was finished, she invited 20 of her friends to stay for a week so we could meet. She told me, “Craig, you really listened to me. You cared about my goals.” My team and I care about your vision, your dream, and your goals. We listen as much for what’s not being said, as what is. We would be proud to help you experience that miraculous feeling of living in the home of your dreams.
