Skillfully built, the award-winning sandblasted masonry walls echo a natural canyon; an offset steel roof floats above the space like a soft canopy, rich copper panels add warmth and connection to the region’s rich history. The views are integral to the experience of the home and surrounding Sonoran vistas; seamlessly combining remarkable design and the high desert.

This home has undergone a comprehensive five-year-long restoration and renovation by the owners, who consulted with Mr. Bruder on every detail. Important systems have been upgraded, surfaces refreshed and details sorted to realize the full potential of this very special place. A complete landscape restoration in 2012 by TRUEFORM Landscape Architects compliments the site, adding native texture, subtle lighting and footpaths to encourage exploration.  Renovation spanned 2013 – 2018, with mechanical system improvements made in late 2019, (replacing HVAC servicing main living spaces + brand new LG washer/dryer).

Kitchen and bathroom renovations feature custom wood detailing, custom non-directional stainless counter tops/backsplashes, new fixtures and Ann Sacks glass tile. No aspect was overlooked: Thermador appliances, VOLA fixtures, victoria+albert soaking tub, maple & cherry detailing and technology from Apple, August and Nest reflect a level of commitment the owners have made to ensure this very important piece of residential architecture remains alive, vibrant and relevant today.  The journey has been documented at byrneresidence.com, a blog created to memorialize the restoration efforts from start to finish.

World famous, this home has been featured in dozens of publications and periodicals, in advertising, in digital media and on numerous architectural tours. The home is featured in the Phaidon Atlas of Contemporary World Architecture, was acknowledged as an Architectural Record “Record Home” in 1999 and received the coveted Arizona Masonry Guild “Excellence in Masonry – Gold Trowel Award” for the innovative and challenging concrete block forms throughout.
