Happy new week, my dear friends! What a gift it is to start a new day with you here. It’s also a gift to start the week sharing this extraordinary new-construction home by one of my favorite designers; Jennifer Ferrandi of NoMad Design. Here, she explains all the details about the making of this inspiring project. Enjoy!
“This home was a collaboration by what I lovingly refer to as my dream team. Over the years, I have been lucky enough to work on countless custom and spec homes with Luke Wilson of Vista General Construction, and Matt Thomas of Matthew Thomas Architecture L.L.C.. The three of us have really build up a level of trust and respect over the years and I think it shows in all our projects.
I cannot stress enough how important a good team is to the home building process. Great design and creativity absolutely flourishes when you have the right team in place from the onset.
While I love helping my clients design their dream homes I also relish working on a beautiful spec home where I have free rein to execute my own design vision for the space. As soon I saw Matt’s plans for this home and his gorgeous exterior elevations I had a clear vision for the interiors. The home was to appeal to a buyer that had a love for a touch of modern while still appreciating the warmth and character of weathered wood with timeless touched of interior Limestone walls.
The home is located in a gorgeous area of Phoenix called Arcadia, which is situated in the shadow of Camelback Mountain with large sprawling lawns and mature trees offering the most gorgeous backdrop for this special home.” – Jennifer Ferrandi from NoMad Design.
“The lot for this home was chosen because of the quiet street and exceptional views of Camelback Mountain. This enclave of Arcadia had a variety of different architectural influences. On the same street you could appreciate Santa Barbara homes and Modern homes.” – Jennifer Ferrandi from NoMad Design.

“Matt Thomas wanted to create a traditional house that sat comfortably within the context of the community, but with fresh touches. The home was designed in an Irish contemporary style with clean lines, shallow eaves and a bold use of mixed materials.” – Jennifer Ferrandi.

“I had originally planned on using marble for the countertops but as the kitchen came to life I knew this was not the right material. I remember standing in Stone Collection one afternoon blasting Luke’s phone with pictures of these gorgeous Quartzite slabs trying to win my case they were worth the extra cost. This kitchen has taken on a life of its own on Instagram and even won a SubZero kitchen contest! I get great joy every time I see a photo of it cross my feed and make sure to remind Luke I was right. LOL” – Jennifer Ferrandi
