5th Annual Modern Phoenix Week 2009 +
Founding Fathers of Modern Phoenix Home Tour
in Arcadia and Uptown Phoenix

Save this architecturally significant historic structure! Hidden for decades, this home bridged the gap between the Nuevo Arts & Crafts aesthetic and the modern modular concept. The marriage of these influences with the emerging Sonoran desert regionalism was born in this home. Built in 1964, this was a uniquely rare 2-story home in Arcadia.

Experience the environmental considerations incorporated via site planning, solar orientation, shading elements, and the spectacular Camelback Mountain. Considered the “father of California post & beam architecture” Cal Straub’s signature pin-wheel layout is classic MCM which allows for an easy sympathetic expansion within the original footprint.

Lambda Car Club lent the cars for the day.
