Dwelling with the Desert, photographed by southwest photographer
This Scottsdale residence showcases the essence of Southwest interior design through a seamless connection between architecture, landscape, and lifestyle. Designed as a winter retreat for Minnesota-based homeowners, the home blends modern forms with natural textures, expansive glass walls, and panoramic views of the desert and nearby golf course. Warm wood ceilings, stone accents, and layered neutral interiors create a welcoming environment that reflects the beauty of the high desert while offering comfort and sophistication. As a travel interior design photographer and southwest interior design photographer, I captured how thoughtful design choices—from organic materials to curated vintage furnishings—bring harmony between the indoors and outdoors, resulting in a home that feels both elevated and deeply rooted in its surroundings.
