Dramatic & Modern Desert Home | The 108 Project

 

Bold form meets quiet simplicity in this Scottsdale modern desert home we designed for connection, comfort, and refined living.


Today, we’re excited to share The 108 Project — a bold, modern desert home in Scottsdale, Arizona that captures the essence of elevated simplicity. This project brings together sculptural form, natural materials, and a refined, livable aesthetic, creating a home that feels grounded and inspiring all at once.

Take a tour of The 108 Project’s entryway, kitchen & dining, family room, home office, bedrooms, and outdoor entertaining spaces, each thoughtfully designed by Denver Interior Design Studio, Basil & Tate.

An Entryway of Quiet Drama

As you step inside, the balance of bold contrast and serene restraint sets the tone for the rest of the home.

The entryway is grounded in black sculptural accents, softened by natural textures and the play of desert light. Just beyond, the sitting room unfolds in layered neutrals and tailored lines — a study in calm, livable elegance. Every detail here was designed to feel intentional, collected, and timelessly modern.

Kitchen & Dining: Where Modern Design Meets Tradition

The dining room is both sculptural and welcoming, centered by a dark, textured table that anchors the space. Tailored chairs and a bold chandelier bring modern sophistication, while open shelving along the wall adds depth and function — styled with ceramics, glass, and organic materials that tell a story of modern desert living.

Just beyond, the kitchen brightens into contrast. A skylight above the island floods the space with sunlight, revealing crisp white cabinetry, wide-plank oak floors, and subtle veining in the countertops and backsplash.

Matte black fixtures and hardware bring a refined edge, while the eat-in breakfast table and counter seating keep the flow effortless — blending beauty with everyday living in perfect balance.

A Family Room Designed for Comfort & Connection

In the family room, the home’s modern edge softens into comfort.

A palette of layered neutrals and warm wood tones creates a space that’s both relaxing and refined, while sculptural lighting and bold art add quiet drama. The stone fireplace becomes the natural focal point with its soft texture and oak mantle adding warmth and balance.

Every piece in this room was chosen for its blend of form and function, from the generous sectional to the tailored lounge chairs, creating a layout that easily invites conversation.

A Home Office That Inspires

Designed as a calm, creative retreat, the home office balances modern function with organic texture.

A sculptural desk anchors the room, while warm wood shelving adds contrast and a touch of natural beauty. Soft neutrals and layered patterns make the space feel intentional, grounded, and quietly inspiring — the perfect environment for work or reflection.

Bedrooms that Balance Serenity & Style

Each bedroom in The 108 Project was designed with a unique personality yet cohesive flow that carries throughout the home.

The primary suite feels serene and sophisticated, centered around a striking canopy bed dressed in soft layers of neutral texture. A cozy seating area nearby offers a peaceful spot to unwind, surrounded by warm light and subtle contrast.

The twin bedroom brings a sense of playful symmetry with tailored bedding, organic textures, and personality-filled art above the beds. It’s a space that feels youthful yet still elevated.

Finally, the guest suite offers understated luxury. The king bed, grounded by natural wood tones and soft linens, makes the room feel both refined and welcoming — a true extension of the home’s modern desert aesthetic.

Desert Living, Redefined

Step outside, and the home expands into the open air. Multiple patios and outdoor living spaces extend the connection between indoors and out, blending layered textures, warm woods, and sculptural furniture forms that echo the home’s interior palette.

Each patio is designed for gathering and retreat, capturing the effortless rhythm of desert living — mornings with coffee, golden-hour dinners, and evenings around the fire.
