Wendell burnette architects has completed the renovation of a Haver Home from 1952 in the US state of Arizona. apartments by ralph Haver, who was one of the most prominent architects during the phoenix boom in the post-war period, are characterized by gently sloping roof lines, generous glass surfaces and integrated indoor-outdoor living spaces. Located in the architecturally significant marlen grove area of Phoenix, the project was commissioned by a law professor at Arizona State University who was drawn to the community’s significant architectural history. All pictures by Bill Timmerman to properly redesign the house, which had been changed almost beyond recognition. Wendell Burnette Architects searched the area for a ‘haver home’ that came as close as possible to the original plans. ‘we knocked on the door and spent an afternoon meeting bob and helen winkle, who bought their home from a graphic designer over 35 years ago, when design types, mostly architects, owned most of the 53 houses that make up the now legendary marlen passed Grove, ”says the design team. ‘We conclusively determined that their’ terrace / carport ‘model (the only one intact in the neighborhood) was actually our original model and wanted to recreate the spirit of the original’ showpiece ‘model featured in sales brochures.’ The architects tried to regain the lavish spirit of these humble homes while respecting the size and context of the surrounding neighborhood. Without reducing the square meters of the converted property, the first project phase was about opening up the living space and creating a new relationship with the garden in the south – an important principle of the original design. In the second phase, the kitchen and bedroom were intelligently redesigned. The project was completed on a tight budget, with the architects proud to be involved in a major architectural preservation effort.
