Golden Keys Remodel on the Modern Phoenix Home Tour 2015 in South Scottsdale

The original 12 foot ceilings in the living room with clerestory windows are now exploited for a loft-like feel. To further this impression walls dividing the living room, dining room, and kitchen were removed and replaced with an exposed steel I-beam. The wallboard and furring strips were removed from the masonry wall that runs the length of the living and now-contiguous dining room, to serve as an art wall. The concrete slab was ground and diamond polished to achieve a finished floor with an industrial (and low maintenance!) look. A redundant hallway leading from the front door to the master suite was abandoned and taken into the kitchen to enlarge the original small horseshoe footprint and make room for a large island.
