Cave Creek Spec Home – New Construction
This new 6,000 SF home was designed for a Cave Creek developer, and took stylistic queues from that same developer to lean to his prospective buyers. Because of the hillside nature of the site, there were opportunities to create interesting and unusual assets, including a lower-level bar/man cave with exceptional […]
Awesome 2015. Supercharged 2016.
Thanks to everyone for making 2015 such an incredible year for Reset Studios. With a new company record of a whopping 305,000 square feet that received design attention from the various studios last year, it really feels like the foundation is being set for a complete evolution of the company. […]
Material Sensibility: Jewel Box Villa
