Take a closer look at the design details, craftsmanship, and creativity behind this project. From striking outdoor features to refined finishing touches, the gallery showcases how we bring each vision to life through thoughtful, high-quality work.
Located in North Scottsdale and built in collaboration with Camelot Homes, The Edge at Joy Ranch VI is a Desert Modern residential landscape that expresses contemporary outdoor living through sculptural materials, architectural water features, and thoughtfully layered desert spaces. Rooted in the textures, light, and rhythms of the Sonoran Desert, the landscape unfolds as a series of curated outdoor environments—each designed to create moments of gathering, relaxation, and quiet reflection.
The experience begins along The Desert Walk, a welcoming model promenade that introduces the project’s natural palette of desert plants, flowering beds, trees, and sculptural boulders. Layered materials and subtle shifts in texture guide visitors toward the home, creating an intentional and immersive approach to the residence.
Arrival leads into The Terra Lounge, a welcoming front courtyard where the sound of water and comfortable built-in seating establish a tranquil entry experience. Moving deeper into the home, the landscape transitions into a central courtyard environment where architecture and landscape merge. At its center lies a striking geometric courtyard pool with a Baja shelf and integrated bubblers, creating movement and visual rhythm throughout the space. A raised spillover spa introduces both elevation and sound, enhancing the serene atmosphere of the courtyard pool garden.
Metal architectural elements—including a custom metal shade structure, sculptural privacy screens, and cantilevered metal fire pits—add a modern industrial contrast to the organic textures of stone and desert plantings. Natural stone paving, paver patios, and artificial turf inlays create clean geometric patterns that reinforce the Desert Modern aesthetic while providing comfortable outdoor living areas.
Beyond the courtyard, the landscape expands into the backyard with thoughtfully designed outdoor living spaces for entertaining and relaxation. A fully equipped outdoor kitchen integrated outdoor TV and audio, built-in seating, and a fire lounge create a welcoming gathering destination for family and guests. As day transitions to evening, the layered lighting, fire features, and reflective water elements transform the landscape into a warm and atmospheric desert retreat.
