Going into our third year of this prestigious design competition, ICONIC LIFE saw more than 350 entries across four categories: interior design, architecture, landscape design and product design. We can’t express our gratitude enough for entering our competition.
The ICONIC Design Awards was designed to embrace integrity and inclusion. Our mission was to create an exciting awards competition with a foundation of integrity.
Winners were evaluated by an esteemed jury of peers across the country. Entries were submitted and judged anonymously, and the ICONIC LIFE team was not involved in the judging process. There was no popular voting, no required professional association and no advertising requirement to submit an entree.
Each year, we want this competition to represent the best designers and creatives in our community; it’s open to all professionals.
To celebrate our outstanding design community–and the winners of our design competition– we hosted an elegant and exciting evening at the Scottsdale Center for Performing Arts on October 11, 2025, presented by Monogram Luxury Appliances and emceed by the acclaimed Catherine Anaya.

Nestled amongst native vegetation is the Desert Fairways Residence. Its design captures the eye, with low masses that contrast with a dynamically folded metal plane. Changing hues of textured metal cast rhythmic shadows, recalling the ribs of a cactus, while rhythm masonry forms shield the interior from the sun.
Low walls guide one up to the front entry, creating a robust and welcoming presence. A metal sunshade casts light and shadow while vertical trellis screens the interior space.
Inside, the ribbed metal fascia transitions to warm wood, and the palette of earth-derived materials continues.
A desert garden approaches the interior, its proximity heightened by a nearly frameless glass wall. Glimpses of the golf course appear through the low-water-use plantings. A pool reflects the sky while water cascades down, creating a soothing harmony of sound and visual delight.
The themes of contrasting elements create a perfect balance and oasis.

The Construction Zone
Nestled into an undisturbed lot on Camelback Mountain, this residence seamlessly integrates with its rugged hillside setting. The site presented two distinct washes, including a prominent central wash that informed the building’s footprint and orientation. Preserving the wash’s natural flow, the residence bridges over it, dividing the structure into three volumes.
Two wings extend northward, capturing sweeping views of the valley and Camelback Mountain. In contrast, the third wing, housing the communal spaces and primary suite, extends perpendicularly, framing the pool deck against the mountain backdrop. Connecting these volumes is the glass-enclosed entry, which floats above the central wash. This connective core celebrates the desert terrain, serving as a focal point while unifying the overall building.
The site’s natural slope allows for the creation of a lower level, further enhancing the connection to its environment. This residence is a testament to innovative design that harmonizes and respects the natural environment.

Protected by a silhouette of folding metal planes and masonry, this residence recalls the contrasting characteristics of a geode shimmering in the sun. Inside, glass extending to the outer shell-like roof fills the space with daylight. The material palette lightens and becomes more intimate through the use of various wood species and natural materials.
Beyond the foyer is a lush courtyard. Basins capture and release rainwater during the monsoon season, allowing the landscape to flourish. Meanwhile, the great room boasts distant views of Camelback Mountain.
On the south side, the home becomes more transparent, welcoming various terraces and the negative-edge pool’s cascading waters, which support the house’s passive cooling strategy. Dining areas, fire features, and a comfortable open-air cabana complete the idyllic scene.
The home draws on nature and the fluidity of expression afforded by a modernist approach to design, celebrating the joys of living in the Arizona desert.

The Rahav Residence is a bold transformation of a 1979 Phoenix home reclaiming its architectural identity. Once a dark, enclosed structure, the home has been opened to light, air, and landscape through a renovation centered on clarity, flow and balance.
Key elements of the original design were preserved, including the curvilinear form, granite brick facade and copper roof. These original materials were preserved and celebrated.
The plan features a layered courtyard concept. A pool, steel-framed shade structure, and multiple terraces create a series of spaces that respond to light, privacy and movement.
Walls were removed and replaced with glass, allowing interior spaces to breathe and connect directly to the landscape. Warm cedar cladding and refined steel details bring texture and precision while complementing the home’s desert palette.
The result is an ICONIC piece of desert architecture, redefined for the present.

The team was tasked with introducing an architectural expansion to a widely published 1994 residence in North Scottsdale. The design challenge was to expand the livable footprint, create new interior and exterior environments, and deepen the residence’s relationship with land and light without altering its architectural voice.
The main living volume was extended, shifting the western glazing wall outward to embrace desert views and create room for socializing. Every gesture was made in response to the home’s existing spatial language, requiring a rigorous understanding of its original geometry.
A steel trellis floats at the expanded threshold, echoing the roof’s fractured silhouette and filtering sunlight into patterns that animate the canyon wall throughout the day. The pool extends the plan toward Black Mountain, while a bridge separates it from the home. Inside, the gathering space and kitchen are framed by expansive windows.
The result is a transformation that amplifies the home’s spirit.

ALINE Architecture Concepts
A redevelopment project in South Scottsdale transformed into a story of architectural preservation. At the center was a 1964 Mid-Century Modern structure designed by Ralph Haver’s firm. The Queen was slated for demolition—until a community-led effort to “Save the Queen” sparked a new path forward.
The Queen was relocated three miles away and integrated into a hospitality concept: Oliver’s Modern American. The design honored the spirit of the original structure while updating it for modern use. The Queen’s signature roofline was preserved.
One of the project’s challenges was designing a flexible shell before the restaurant concept was finalized. A clean roof structure enabled the integration of systems while preserving the integrity of the form.
Surrounding Polynesian-style gardens were restored to reinforce the indoor-outdoor flow, and expansive glazing frames the structure’s sculptural lines.
This project is a testament to how preservation, creativity, and collaboration can breathe new life into ICONIC architecture.

Jin Jia is an expression of cultural storytelling through hospitality design. The concept draws inspiration from the Chinese Lantern Festival. The goal was to create a dining experience that honors tradition while welcoming a contemporary audience.
The design balances warmth and elegance through a natural palette. Textured stone, light wood, and a faux-rammed-earth wall ground the space. Red and gold accents add vibrancy and meaning. Lanterns are thoughtfully layered throughout the space, reinforcing the theme of wonder and cultural depth.
Creative planning was essential, as the interior concept was developed before a site was selected. The final layout incorporates intimate and communal dining areas. Private booths feature sheer metal drapery for a sense of enclosure, and rotating round tables encourage shared meals in the spirit of traditional Chinese dining customs.
Jin Jia has offered guests more than a meal. The space invites visitors to slow down, connect and celebrate.

Creative Designs in Lighting
The celebration of Native American art and culture has been the mission of this internationally recognized museum since its founding in 1929. The user experience was to be renovated as an extension of the gallery’s refined exhibitions. The challenge was to simplify the cluttered ceiling and provide museum-quality illumination.
The team reimagined the historic space with a modern take on southwestern heritage and a Santa Fe-inspired aesthetic. Each space features unique ceilings, doors and display case treatments made from reclaimed wood and hand-carved designs. The lighting needed to integrate into the architecture and ‘disappear’ while showcasing the artifacts of Native artisans.
Throughout the 8,633-square-foot shop, energy-efficient LED fixtures replaced existing halogen lamps to reduce energy usage.
A new dimming system was installed, and automated night scenes were programmed to reduce energy.
The project was made possible by donors supporting the arts.

This retreat utilizes cutting-edge technology throughout the home. Designed to synchronize with a person’s circadian rhythm, the lights are programmed to dim and warm in the early and late hours of the day. Modern architectural forms are highlighted and complemented with linear fixtures and square aperture downlights.
Decorative pendants create focal moments and add style to the spaces. They are layered on a backdrop of even illumination created by linear wall grazes and ceiling uplights. Downlights are used to accentuate artwork.
Early coordination was necessary to ensure the downlights would work with multiple ceiling assemblies. Specialized, hidden details highlight the variation in wood panels and add a glow for wayfinding in the late evening.
This home utilizes warm color temperature, dark-sky-friendly fixtures with automated timers that turn off all exterior lighting at 10:00 p.m.
The finished home exudes elegance and quiet sophistication with soft transitions between the interior and exterior areas.

Roja is a carefully composed intersection of past and present—where architectural heritage is preserved and reinterpreted for modern living. Situated in the F.Q. Story Historic District, this nearly 100-year-old Mission Revival residence underwent a transformation.
Terracotta lies at the core of Roja’s design identity. The rich, burnt red tones of the original roof tiles, floors and architectural accents inspired the home’s name and palette for its new construction, creating visual and material continuity. This deliberate integration grounds the home’s historic fabric while establishing a bold, modern character.
The architecture fuses Mission Revival influences with a contemporary sensibility. Earthy plaster walls, warm wood tones, and natural stone create an atmosphere that feels both timeless and contemporary.
Roja embodies a philosophy of livable minimalism. The layout prioritizes flow, comfort, and connection, offering a serene and tailored environment.
This is not simply a renovation—it’s a revival, bridging eras with sensitivity, creativity and grace.

Nestled on a picturesque five-acre hillside, Casa Sundial is designed to harmonize with its desert setting. This single-level, 5,400-square-foot home curves to follow the natural contours of the land. The west wing will be embedded into the hillside. Meanwhile, the easternmost end of the home gently steps back down into the site.
Concrete walls anchor the house and are integrated throughout the design. The thoughtful layout allows each room to flow into the next, ultimately opening to the pool and patio.
An outdoor kitchen, dining space and lounge extend from the central living area, echoing the interior layout. Floor-to-ceiling glass windows pocket into the walls, providing 180-degree views and connecting the interiors to a negative-edge pool and spa. With a refined palette of cast-in-place concrete, metal panels, exposed concrete and glass, Casa Sundial contrasts with the terrain while following its contours in form, exemplifying harmony with its surroundings.

Set against the ICONIC red rock landscape of Sedona, Arizona, Redstone Horizon emerges as a quiet monolith, both guarded and grounded in the surrounding red rock terrain, yet open to the sweeping valley views. The residence is organized as a low, horizontal composition that embraces the desert topography while maximizing connections to the surrounding cliffs and sky.
Clad in site-inspired red sandstone, the architecture dissolves into the environment during golden hour, blurring the line between built and natural. Glazed openings are positioned to frame ever-changing vignettes of the Sedona landscape, allowing daylight and distant vistas to animate the interior. The roofline hovers, lighting above the massing, introducing moments of shadow and contrast that heighten the sense of place.
More than a home, Redstone Horizon is a carefully calibrated response to Sedona’s unique geology —a light, quiet retreat designed to both shelter and reveal.

The core of this home lives under a floating pavilion and butterfly roof. The roof captivates and pulls the guests in, immediately opening to the captivating view of Camelback Mountain. Transparency, through the home, which spills out onto the terraced yard, was critical during the early planning process and design, and has been crafted meticulously in collaboration with the landscape architect.
This striking roof form acts as shelter from the Arizona sun, creating moments of shade and shadow that ripple across the organic materials of the home. Limestone, granite, steel and concrete form the material palette and foundation for this elegant piece of modern architecture.
This project was a work of art in its own right. It was immensely challenging getting these corner glass doors to pulley pocket away while allowing the butterfly roof to soar above. The wind loads, cantilevers and design made this a unique and challenging project.

From the street, the home appears almost sculptural in design. The minimalist exterior presents a refined silhouette that blends effortlessly with the natural environment. However, once inside, the design unfolds more dynamically and engagingly.
The layered rooflines create a sense of movement and depth, drawing the eye upward and giving the interior a feeling of spaciousness. The negative edge is centered on an unobstructed view of the mountain. The primary suite is cantilevered to capture the best views of the surrounding landscape.
The steep slope and topography make the design and space planning more challenging. The challenge was to maintain a balance between staying connected to the land and maximizing the stunning views while ensuring the structure doesn’t appear out of place. Creative solutions, such as utilizing cantilevered rooms, staggered levels and strategic openings, enable the home to blend with the landscape while still offering unobstructed views of the surrounding desert.

Perched below a mountain backdrop, this residence strikes a balance between bold architectural expression and nature. With two levels above ground and two integrated below, the home uses vertical and horizontal spatial opportunities to create a seamless living experience.
The upper volumes of the house present a modern composition that appears to float above the terrain. Cantilevered rooflines, glazing and minimalist detailing evoke a sense of weightlessness.
Indoor and outdoor spaces blend seamlessly through the consistent use of natural materials, allowing the surrounding desert to feel as though it flows directly through the home.
Below the surface, two levels are embedded into the site. These levels are anything but concealed, as natural light floods through strategically placed courtyards and light wells. Here, entertainment zones, wellness facilities and intimate lounges offer cool refuge.
The home maximizes views at every opportunity. Every design decision honors the desert context while celebrating modern luxury.

Candelaria Design Associates
This home is currently under construction in North Scottsdale. The client wanted a modern prairie-style design that takes advantage of the city views and cantilevered roofs to shade it from the Arizona sun.
The site is sloped, requiring a stepped two-story solution with the main living areas on the upper floor and secondary spaces on the lower level. The client wanted to see pools from each level: one on the main level and the lower level. To visually connect the two pools, a full-length glass bottom was incorporated into the upper pool. The weight of this fully suspended pool necessitated the use of large, wide-flange beams for support.
Water features are also incorporated at the front of the home. The auto court welcomes guests, and a glass bridge connects the main house to the guest house. A combination of steel and natural materials adds warmth and character to the composition.
