THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE HOME

Even Dorothy knew it when she blew into Oz—no matter where you go, “there’s no place like home.”

I’ve always considered my home as my sanctuary and personal nest where the people I love live, my favorite things can be found and my best memories have been made. You probably know me as someone who is super social and a bit of a jet-setter, however, truth be told, a quiet night at home is decadent to me!

THIS SPECIAL ISSUE IS DEDICATED TO THESE WONDROUS, BEAUTIFUL, MAGNIFICENT, SUSTAINABLE, HEALTHY, IMPRESSIVE AND ARTISTIC HOMES IN WHICH WE LIVE, AND THE PROCESS OF BRINGING THESE EXTRAORDINARY ESTATES TO LIFE.

It all starts with an expert team of a builder, architect, interior designer, lighting designer and landscape architect. You’ll find the best of the best in this issue, along with so many resources that will help you bring your dream home to reality.

My goal is to make this book a companion to your homebuilding journey. We’ve packed it with engaging editorial on how to design the home of your dreams from the ground up, including significant remodeling, which is happening at a high level right now in our community.

Inside, you’ll find tips, advice and even worksheets to help make the process of designing a custom home a process from groundbreaking to move in. It’s my hope you’ll keep this issue by your side every step of the way.

We are in the middle of one of THE hottest home markets in the country, and the allure of our desert and this community is second-to-none when you look at the number of luxury-loving new residents that are moving here each year.

If you are relocating from somewhere else, welcome to your new home! We hope to be a part of your ICONIC LIFE, right here in Arizona.

With Gratitude,

Renee M. Dee Publisher
