At the Crusader House in North Scottsdale’s Estancia, architecture and landscape exist in quiet, deliberate harmony. Designed by Drewett Works, the structure’s angular, jet-inspired lines soar over a landscape that feels both curated and untouched.

This project with Tate Studio Architects many years ago is one of our favorites, using strong geometric shapes in the planters to complement the pool and design of the build. This reinforced the modern aesthetic, with primarily neutral color palette, gray tone of the paving and gravel contrasting with the green of the plants and the golden hues of the barrel cacti.
