In 2020 we received a very unusual project inquiry, a first in our firm's history. The scope of the inquiry was not unusual, a new modern home to replace the ranch house in the Arcadia neighborhood in Phoenix, Arizona they had outgrown while having 3 children over the past 8 years. The unusual part was the request for it to be a surprise for the homeowner’s wife, after the couple had started and stopped twice with other professionals. This seemed risky but the gamble paid off as the surprise was met with excitement and the family finally achieved the dream home they had always wanted but were never able to accomplish, a 2 story, multigenerational contemporary family home fitting of their personalities and lifestyle.
