Gorgeous photographs and floor plans provide a rare peek into 12 ultra-high-end homes by Scottsdale, Arizona, architect Mark Candelaria
Arizona-based architect Mark Candelaria is recognized for his timeless luxury designs and signature style rooted in classical form and functionality. In
Mark Candelaria Homes
, the architect presents 12 pivotal residential projects from the past decade and pulls back the curtain to share the stories behind them.
Each project is accompanied by full-color photographs, floor plans, and sketches. The book brims with design ideas for every taste, from a Spanish colonial-influenced house on axis with views of Arizona's Mummy Mountain, to a reimagined historic English Tudor, to a modernist home inspired by ranch haciendas. Candelaria describes the design process with many personal anecdotes, illustrating that the design of a home should be fun and result not just in a set of plans but a backdrop to living one's best life.
Being an avid traveler and hobbyist chef, Candelaria includes a recipe with each house that was many times prepared for, or with, the client in their new kitchen as a grand finale.
