F THE NAME of this project—Private Residence #4—has
a fairly innocuous ring to it, the reality is more magnif-
icent by far. An impeccable work of architecture and
interior design by Scottsdale-based Oz Architects, it is
a prize address highly attuned to the rapture of its locale,
and to the aesthetically international inclinations of its
owners, making good work of both.
"This was designed to be a home that will last for many years,
and also meant to be a gathering place for their family through-
out the years," says Inga L. Rehmann, interior design director/
lead interior designer of Oz Architects, who worked on the
project in collaboration with Don Ziebell, principal/architect;
Zahir Poonawala, project architect; Laura Huttenhauer, interior
designer; and builder Desert Star Construction. "If we can help
our clients create that for themselves and their family, it is the
most meaningful part of our work."
What work. Rich in decorative tensions, the sumptuous, gener-
ously dimensioned residence is a reflection of its well-traveled
owners' refined eye for style and design. Oz manifested their
knowing in a style that the firm characterizes as "Rural Mediter-
I
ranean with a French Provencal tone." Another word: exquisite.
No detail was sacrificed in the design of the space. This home is
not just pretty and well-appointed, it's an amalgam of influences,
sensitively and judiciously selected, with its nods to the French
aesthetic particularly lovely. Not pieces handpicked from a cata-
log or seized from a showroom, mind you, but straight from the
source. From the fireplaces and stone fountains to the roof tile,
antique doors and beams, many of the home's unique pieces
were obtained on a client-firm trip to Provence—a harvest that
both authenticated and amplified the stunningly cohesive space.
