For family readers of the popular forum, it will be especially interesting to learn about unusual ideas for a cozy nest. Impressive residence Monk's Shadow, located in Paradise Valley, Arizona, is the epitome of luxury and privacy. The house stands out with its bright backlighting against a reddish rocky hillside, defying its own name.

Design idea by Kendle Collaborative. They were able to design the home on a 60 degree slope while breaking down the layout of the home into multiple living areas: parent, teen, family entertainment area, guest area, work area, and incredible pool. The house itself is a surprisingly harmonious combination of rounded and square shapes, topped by a glass floor under an almost flat roof.
The interior features a combination of warmth-preserving wood and modern furnishings. The real eye-catcher is the narrow picture gallery, lit by streetlight through the glass façade. In the evenings, the view from here is stunning: the pool, like a huge Jacuzzi, set amid an elegant landscape of natural lawn and pebbles scattered on the open wooden terrace.
