DESERT HOMES HAVE UNIQUE requirements: careful construction in tune with environmental sustainability, architectural design that harmonizes with the surrounding landscape and interior design that reflects each homeowner’s lifestyle and aesthetics.

“We design and develop heirloom properties,” says Cary Blake, co-owner. “We’re always seeking the best quality in building materials, appliances and furnishing. We’re not about trends. We build timeless homes that will stand the test of time.”

This husband and wife duo starts by educating their clients as much as possible, so they can make the right choices in everything from site planning to products. “We think about living in a home from the male and female perspective,” says Brenda. “That helps our clients prioritize wants and needs.”

“Clean design that’s comfortable and makes you want to stay a while. Luxury but not excess. Don’t overthink it. Trust the people you hire to do their jobs. Bring photos. It’s all about you and your home. Give us some direction and then let us take it from there.”
