ICONIC DESIGN AWARDS
The 2024 Iconic Design Awards recognized #ModernSunset for its timeless elegance, outstanding attention to detail, and the way it elevates residential design.

ICONIC AWARD: Primary Bath 
This soft-contemporary new build, nestled among the boulders, offers panoramic views of Scottsdale’s desert landscape. The design of the interior architectural details was inspired by the interaction with Mother Nature. The primary bathroom features a floating vanity with a layered material backsplash that echoes the stratification of desert boulders. The shower boasts a subtle tone-on-tone snakeskin-patterned ceramic tile, reminding us of the surrounding desert beauty and wildlife.
