Within the Sonoran desert biome, Phoenix, Arizona demostrates the future opportunities in modern urban devel-opment. With the accelerating rate of population growth, a paradigm shift of socio-economics and culture merge, establishing the vast approach of urban ecological networks, reducing carbon emissions and intiating resilient sus-tainable communities. The context remains a unique site with various markets, historical landmarks, diverse neigh-borhoods, industrial activities and connecting major transporatation routes. The possibility of a high-speed rail system near Sky Harbor International Airport will connect from Los Angeles to major eastern U.S. cities, increasing economic prosperity and long-term environmental planning.

The Mansour residence elaborate the intricacy of a home site where family outdoor activity and spatial connectivity with nature generates a space that improves the viablity of the neighbor-hood. The client conveyed the idea of a paved driveway, a raised planting bed at front entrance, backyard putting green, a pergola for food and entertainment, vegetable garden beds, a rama-da with firepit, a volleyball court, and the family 4 car/RV garage. These elements of programs presented a unique way of fullfilling the clients desires that meet their innovative character of home. An Ironwood tree at the final conceptual design became a family icon of nature. Principle Landscape Designer: John Bowen/ Divine Creations Landscape and Lighting LLC.
