Modern family needs and aged Mediterranean patina and all of this is Scottsdale, Arizona.

A series of intimate rooms not large open plan areas ensures the home, though large, is on a more human scale. New yet old, relaxed yet sophisticated. By Oz Architects with interiors by David Michael Miller Associates.
