The Kimball Residence on the Modern Phoenix Hometour 2012

The Kimball Residence a.k.a Mucha Casa


Design: Ard Hoyt Construction Company. Original architect unknown, remodel by Woolsey Studio in 1996/2004 and landscape by Ten Eyck Landscape Architecture in 2006/2012
Year: 1959
Completion: 100%
Style: Midcentury Modern/Contemporary
Notes: Marketed as "Mucha Casa" in its time, this ranch home is a variation on the all-electric House of Light by Ard Hoyt. Architect Kristine Woolsey lifted and enclosed the back patio area to create subtle and set-back contraposto rhythm of the existing roofline. The desert wash runs seasonally through the newly completed landscape.
