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.

ARA COMMUNITY

ARA

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.

Contact Dale Gardon at (480) 948-9666 to make an appointment to meet with the ARA Community Design Team to discuss your potential opportunity.

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.

Christine Wareing AIA Principal Architect

PO Box 25486 Scottsdale, Arizona 85255 christy@christyandco.com www.christyandco.com 480.483.0713 Christy & Company Architecture specializes in high-end custom residential projects, and have had the pleasure of working with great clients and sites for many years. We are team players, and enjoy working through the process with the design team, usually consisting of the interior designer, builder, engineers, landscape architect, lighting designer, automation (a/v) specialist, custom craftsmen and trades, and of course, the client. Christy & Company is dedicated to providing our clients with not just talented design, but with enjoying the best experience possible throughout the process of any project. We have embraced the mantra ‘Where Sanctuary is Sculpture’ which explains the company’s direction and focus, all of which is the culmination of Christy’s southwest upbringing and education, coupled with her innate sensibilities of design, that compliment clients’ diverse cultures and lifestyles with their high-end southwest properties. We believe our surroundings give us an experience that has a powerful effect on our quality of life. This concept is a notion that Christy became aware of at an early age and it has carried through in her work ever since. She founded the boutique firm over 10 years ago, even though her residential experience working on prestigious properties began several years earlier. Christy holds a Bachelor of Science in Design from Arizona State University and a Masters of Architecture from the University of New Mexico. She has been a registered Architect in Arizona since 1999.

TSONTAKISRCHITECTURE

Nick Tsontakis was born at home in Kostadiana, a tiny village located off the northwest coast of Crete. He came into this world in a bedroom with corner windows overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. He grew up gazing at some of the most beautiful vistas on the planet. When his family moved to Montreal, Quebec, Canada, he marveled at the aesthetic magnificence of Old Montreal and the innovative structures and international pavilions of Expo â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;67. This cultural richness and diversity are integral to his design, which he brings to his clients throughout the world.

I create truly one-of-a-kind, site specific designs and have been doing so for 22 years. Designing and building custom homes requires a very personal and dedicated connection to the client and their wishes. Every architect in the ARA understands this connection and excels in achieving signature design and thus, real value for their clients. I have been fortunate enough to participate in the roles of client, architect, designer and builder over the years having built several homes for myself. I understand the process from each perspective which gives me insight to address any unique requirement. I utilize progressive technologies which allow me to present, convey and interact with a client or team member regardless of location. Designing and building a custom home is the ultimate reward and reflection on a lifetime of success. I understand the importance of conveying the correct statement my clients wish to make about their new home. I enjoy working with great clients wanting to create a great piece of architecture regardless of scale.

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.

Brent Kendle, AIA, LEED AP Principal 6115 North Cattletrack Road Scottsdale, Arizona 85250 brent@kendledesign.com www.kendledesign.com 480.951.8558 WHAT IS THE ESSENCE OF MODERN ARCHITECTURE? Kendle Design Collaborative believes Modern Architecture is a response to the environment, the homeownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lifestyle, and the pursuit of timeless inspiration. Modern is a way of thinking about living that reflects the environment and the natural elements surrounding it. Modern Architecture must constantly evolve, because as the environment changes so must the design.

DESERT WASH RESIDENCE

Brent Kendle “I’d say the homeowners’ aim of living in a simple home of sophisticated elegance was definitely achieved!”

RAMMED EARTH MODERN

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.

Small House

1st Prize - $5000

Jack Scheren - ASU, 4th Year

ARA Student Housing Competition

The Small House is created by a series of similar and repetitive half-gable forms. These forms come together to provide the most basic understanding of shelter and privacy while providing plenty of opportunity for natural light and ventilation. In the house, walls do not define space. Rather, space is defined by function and walls are incorporated only to facilitate certain functions. This allows the space to be circumstantially multifunctional. The house also responds to issues of sustainability and consumer awareness by using a water catchment system, solar water heater and power system, and radiant heating. With streamlined EMP, the house can be prefabricated as well.

Jack Scheren - ASU, 4th Year

The most unique feature of the house is the irrigation system. The system runs through the point in the roof where all half-gables meet, and breaches the surface of the roof at the midpoint of each half-gable form. When turned on, water flows out of the spouts and is channeled down to the hedges providing shade and privacy for the house. The system cools the roof before it is used to water the surrounding vegetation and then a portion is reacquired by the catchment system.

2nd Prize - $3000

Dash Bernhard - ASU, 3rd Year

ARA Student Housing Competition

Potential for sustainable passive heating and cooling as well as overall organization of living spaces was the main focus of the site analysis. The analysis made clear that it would be most ideal to have the North side of the house open to the park and views below, which would be un-hindered by neighbooring houses and any direct sunlight. Additionally, as winds typically move naturally uphill, if proper air flow were to be established, it would move mostly NE-SW, so the building should be aligned accordingly. The houses initial schematic arrangement was done so in order to maximize itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passive sustainable features, specifically its heating/cooling cappabilities. The primary sustainable features this house utilizes are described by the graphic below. Solar Strategy

Tiny House

Dash Bernhard - ASU, 3rd Year

2nd Prize - $3000

ARA Student Housing Competition

The building takes advantage of passive sustainable features. As air moves naturally uphill (stack effect) the air moves over a shaded, running water feature. This cools the air significantly. From there, air is funneled through the window latch located on the bottom of the East facing windows. It flows through the house to an air vent located near the ceiling in the kitchen and through open doors or windows on the other end of the house. This creates a cooling effect. Further, all south facing walls are either angled to maximize interior space and to only receive sunlight in the winter months, or covered in vegetation that absorbs most of the heat.

The Tiny Well House

3rd Prize - $1000

Aaron Beringson - U of A, 4th Year

ARA Student Housing Competition

In an effort to conserve energy and establish a basin for continual living, The Tiny Well House burrows below the desert, accepting the great benefits of the earth. Besides the natural insulation, the subterranean portion of the building emerges from the ground to collect water, nurse the landscape and cool the dwelling passively during the hot and dry seasons. It keeps the small spaces private and lets in light during careful moments. An exterior draping system diffuses light all around. It interacts with the dense walls that define the exterior of the building, and the steel structure that holds the glass and the photovoltaic panels in place. The cloth panels on the exterior shade the home and create a dynamic exterior, the material choice is inspired by building processes in the desert to keep materials cool and dry.

When asking, “What is architecture?”, one can get a variety of responses ranging from serious to amusing. Architecture is…. ...”a relationship between parts” …”about ideas” …”the shaping of space” …”suspension of daylight” My favorites, …”architecture costs more!” …”architecture matters” The following Jones Studio images were carefully selected to tell a compelling story of architectural possibility. It is a collection of diverse photos recording the spatial successes of bold ideas surviving the gauntlet of reality. Each idea remained clear given the wonderful constraints of constructability and budget. There is an honesty embedded in the choice of intersection and material integrity, resulting in an unconventional solution to an ordinary programmatic task. You will not see comprehensive photographs documenting the complete home in a landscape. It’s never about style; only the experience counts. Have you ever asked “what is architecture?”

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.

JAMES HANN DESIGN, AIA James Hann AIA Principal

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."

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.

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.
