This elegant architectural gem in the desert near Scottsdale, Arizona was designed by noted American architect Will Bruder for his friends and colleagues Scott and Debbie Jarson. As Scott describers the project of revamping the house with the Soraa Vivid LED: “The space was inspiring to begin with, and we found that with the Soraa Vivid lamps, details of our art collection and interiors emerged that we hadn't really seen before. Textures and colors came alive and the indoor/outdoor connection to the site is remarkably enhanced. There's a renewed sense of depth in finishes and hues. What’s more, our art collection, so integral to how we live, is now stunningly expressed at all times day or night. We worked closely with Will Bruder on creating a really unique desert dwelling that maximized the features of the site that we had chosen. It was a beautiful but challenging site to work with, and thanks to his stellar talent, we are inspired by the space daily. His architecture is much about light and space as it is about form and materials. Lighting is an integral part of the overall program and experience of living in a home as this. The installation of The Soraa lamps just added a whole new level to our experience of living in such a graceful design. The clarity and purity of the Soraa lamps integrate our light and space like nothing we’ve seen before.” Photography: Russell Abraham Architect: Will Bruder
