Located in the beautiful Arcadia District of Phoenix, this 7,000 square foot modern residence, designed in the style of Frank Lloyd Wright, is sited on a one-acre lot with spectacular views of Camelback Mountain.

Knowing that the home owners had specifically purchased the property for the unobstructed view of the mountain and the lushness of the Arcadia area, the team at Hadley Design strategically placed the outdoor living spaces, water features and accent walls to draw the eye towards the ridge line and iconic boulder features of Camelback Mountain. In addition, lush plant material, bold accent plants and large drifts of flowering groundcovers and shrubs have been placed to further draw the eye to specific features throughout the landscape.
