Design Narrative: Wolff Residence

LEA Architects, led by Lance Enyart, AIA, designed the extensive major renovation and addition to this mid-century modern home in Paradise Valley, AZ originally designed by William F. Cody, AIA. When the home was purchased by the client the original structure was for the most part intact, although the overall condition of the home was in disrepair requiring a complete overall as well as floor plan modifications and a new addition to allow the home to meet the modern needs of the client. The owner and design team realized the significance of the original architecture and were careful to make informed design decisions that would preserve the original design intent while at the same time enhancing the homes connection to the natural environment and greatly improve the spatial quality and experience for the owner. The original house was designed utilizing a 10' x 10' post and beam structural grid consisting of 3-1/2” x 3-1/2” steel tube columns and a combination of steel and wood framing members. To preserve the integrity of the original design, the 10'x10' structural frame was preserved both on the interior and exterior of the home. Where the clients program required expansion at the master bathroom and former single car garage, the original 10'x10' structure was again honored and the space enclosed with insulated glazing behind protected overhangs to protect the glass from the sun. The design of the exterior landscape and hardscape seamlessly connects with the architectural lines of the home, assuring that new elements did not run contrary to the geometric planes that form the spatial volumes of the home. New landscape and hardscape improvements include; a new zero edge swimming pool and adjacent deck space, new driveway and auto court area, as well as planting and lighting renovation over the majority of the property.
The original interior materials that were significant to the mid twentieth century architecture were preserved and refurbished including the walnut wall paneling, terrazzo floors, and expansive tongue and groove ceiling used on both the interior of the living space and underside of the exterior roof projections. New case work design, floor and wall finishes, as well as plumbing and lighting fixtures were carefully selected to further compliment the homes original material pallet. The redesigned kitchen includes new walnut and stainless steel cabinetry, glass tile, as well as a floating marble bar top that replaced the floor to ceiling wet bar that was removed to allow the kitchen to open onto the dining and great room and the expansive mountain and golf course vistas beyond. The structural support for the floating marble bar top utilizes the same exposed 3-1/2” x 3-1/2” tube steel members found in the original structural grid, further connecting the home’s new architectural interjections with the original architectural vernacular. A floor to ceiling walnut pivot door in conjunction with new walnut wood paneling conceals a new expansive refrigerated wine storage room. Hot rolled plate steel wall cladding and floor accents, striated linear commercial carpet, and limestone tile further articulate the space and offer a warm contrast against the expansive glazing along the perimeter of the house.
The original carport was enclosed with venting windows, and glass hydraulic garage doors, similar to those utilized for aircraft hangers. An expansion to the master suite was realized, enclosing what was previously a underutilized sun deck, to provide a more expansive master bathroom with unobstructed views of the surrounding Camelback Mountain. Acid etched glass was introduced to afford privacy from the master bedroom, while at the same time maintaining a since of transparency through the space.
