Luxe Cover Feature January 2023

Starting the year off strong with one of our homes on the cover of Luxe Magazine! This cover article features an interior refresh of a Spanish Colonial style home Mark Candelaria designed back in 2005 in PV!

“There’s so much soul in Mark’s architecture, and we wanted to keep that: plasterwork; the richness of the Saltillo tiles, wood and iron details; the brick staircase; the arches," said designer Lauren Wallace. While there weren’t many structural changes needed, the team “updated the lighting, countertops, wall tile and paint, and cleaned up some of the more ornate detailing throughout the residence,” general contractor Frank DiMaggio notes. ⁠

An English-Country Style Estate is Reborn

Growing up in Central Phoenix, this home had always caught the eye of future homeowner Alex Stark. Years later, she married builder Rick Stark of Starion Custom Residences and they purchased this historical home from 1947. While a lot of work was needed, they wanted to keep as many original materials and details as possible. So the Starks together with Architect Meredith Thomson reconfigured the floor plan, raised the ceilings, added a pool, a covered patio and a detached garage to transform this historic cottage into a fabulous family home for generations to come!

Remodel in Phoenix Home & Garden's "Smaller Spaces" Issue

On stands now, Phoenix Home & Garden Magazine’s August issue features “Smaller Spaces: Making Every Square Foot Count”. Our featured PV home is only 2,410 sq. feet and was remodeled and reimagined inside and out by Mark Candelaria and Tim Mathewson into a floor plan that really opened up the cramped, outdated design and mixed timeless elements with organic materials.

Phoenix Home & Garden features Candelaria Design in the January 2020 Issue

Situated near the base of Mummy Mountain in Paradise Valley, this 1980’s built home was dated by its discordant Tuscan-colored interior walls, a sunken living room and a closed floor plan. Take a look at what we did in conjunction with Earth & Images to completely transform this home inside and out!
