Celebrated for his clay and bronze bells, avant-garde drawings, and concept of Arcosanti (an experiential village hosting design workshops), the late Arizona architect Paolo Soleri is less celebrated for his residential designs. This could be because only one was built: this six-bedroom, four-bath, split-level home in Phoenix. It’s listed for $1.88 million through Scott Jarson with azarchitecture/Jarson & Jarson. This Phoenix home was Soleri’s only solo project. He did partner with another architect on a dome house in Cave Creek, AZ, and designed an amphitheater at the Indian School in Santa Fe, NM. He received a National Design Award in 2006 and taught architecture at Arizona State University. It’s tucked into the Colter Estates neighborhood—not far from the Arizona Biltmore Hotel—where the home’s lush green spaces are an unexpected pleasure in this desert. The unique creation was built in 1982 for Sen. Dennis DeConcini and his brother, Dino, who were fans of Soleri’s work. “The DeConcinis were a prominent Arizona family,” says Jarson. Soleri’s trademark organic architecture is apparent throughout the home, including the passive-solar features, barrel-vaulted ceilings, and oak cabinetry and flooring. Interior spaces include an office, tower library nook, and partly finished basement. The property’s huge lot size also helps set it apart from neighboring homes. But it’s the outside amenities that bring this house over the top. The property is blessed with an older irrigation system, which makes it easy to keep the yard “very lush and green. It’s got a country setting, but it’s maybe 10 minutes from downtown,” says Jarson. “You’ve got this oasis estate with very large shade trees.” There’s also a pool, gazebo, and fireplace perfect for alfresco living. Included with the sale is the home’s original work-study model. “It’s remarkable that that got preserved with the house,” says Jarson. The sellers will also leave a bell sculpture designed by Soleri. So who would appreciate the design of the home and want to live in it? “Somebody who has an interest in art and design, foremost, but it’s a highly functional family home, too,” says Jarson. “It’s rare to find a combination of the two.” The post Desert Oasis: Rare Paolo Soleri-Designed House in Arizona Seeking a Buyer appeared first on Real Estate News & Insights | realtor.com®. via https://www.realtor.com/news/unique-homes/paolo-soleri-designed-deconcini-house/
