For architect Mark Candelaria, the process of designing a home is much more than producing a set of plans. From leading annual tours of Italy and Spain to cooking for his clients and charities, his approach involves celebrating every aspect of living well. <\/span><\/p>

\u201cWe are masters of designing custom homes tailored to our clients\u2019 lifestyle,\u201d says <\/span>Candelaria, who runs his firm alongside principals Tim Mathewson and Evelyn Jung. \u201cThe challenge is to also keep the design timeless. <\/span>It\u2019s a delicate balance, but we achieve it at all scales, from remodels to 20,000-square-foot estates.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Collaboration without ego is key to his team\u2019s approach. \u201cOur biggest strength is understanding what someone wants out of their home and creating a harmonious design that elevates its character and refines its flow,\u201d he explains. Since 1999, the firm has designed high-end custom residences<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

throughout Arizona and across the country. There\u2019s the ultra-contemporary Johnson house, nestled on a steep hillside lot with 270-degree views maximized from every room, and the more traditional Longcross, a French manor\u2013style estate designed for an NFL Hall of Famer. In another project, a highlight is the modernist jewel box of a dining room, glass-encased, that juts out toward spectacular views of sunsets over Camelback Mountain.<\/span><\/p>

Its glass-and-steel doors are fully operable, opening entirely to the incredible outdoor space beyond. \u201cOur biggest strength is understanding what someone wants out of their home and creating a harmonious design that elevates its character and refines its flow\u201d<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
