Modern Haver – John Douglas FAIA Architect

This original Haver home was thoughtfully re-crafted by celebrated Valley Architect John Douglas in 2008.  One of the very best homes we have represented, this home is clearly identified by the integration of translucent colored panels which allow for a colorful play of light, shadow and form.

Outside there is a lavish patio that wraps a heated and cooled lap pool, designed for serious year-round swimming.  A custom steel covered patio/ramada make a comforting and playful respite from  the sun; an outdoor shower allows for complete interaction with the yard.  The landscape is superb and has been featured in publication.

This award winning home has three bedrooms and four baths: one exterior bedroom   making an separate entrance guest quarters of office.  Large dining area, great room and office niche complete the interior spaces.

The enjoyment and day-to-day livability of this signature mid-century modern home was dramatically increased modest expansion and thoughtful changes to the interior, while detailed development of outdoor living allows the home to embrace and use every aspect of the site. Illuminated color resin panels transform the surroundings from a secluded and contemplative desert garden in the day: then into a lively social space at night.  This inspired design speaks volumes about the potential of theses very special and sustainable urban homes.

From his own modern designs to the stunning restoration of historic homes and buildings, Architect John Douglas has completed a treasure of lasting designs that enhance our valley.  This work by this award winning architect is well published and is certainly one of his most inspired renovations.
