Inside The Lewis Home: How we rebuilt a Scottsdale residence from the bones up

The Lewis Home was 2,400 square feet of good bones and dated everything else. Built in the right neighborhood, on the right lot, with the kind of architectural foundation you cannot fake. What it needed was someone to take it down to the bones and rebuild it as the home it was always meant to be.

The brief was simple in concept and demanding in execution: bring the whole house current, keep its character, build it to last another twenty years. No half-measures. No keeping the old kitchen because it was easier than rebuilding. A full remodel done right.

We started with the kitchen because the kitchen was the heart of the project. The original layout had been closed off from the rest of the home — a separate room when it should have been the center of the house. We opened it up, rebuilt the cabinetry from scratch in custom millwork from GC Cabinetry, and worked with Bedrosians on the stone and tile that would set the tone for the rest of the home

From there, the primary suite. The original bath had been small, dark, and chopped into pieces by an awkward layout. We reclaimed square footage from an oversized closet to give the bath the room it needed, then rebuilt it with honed stone, custom vanities, and lighting designed to make the space work at every hour of the day.

What we did not change matters as much as what we did. The bones of the home — the high ceilings, the original windows on the south wall, the floor plan everywhere else — stayed. The remodel had to feel like it belonged to the same house. Just brought current.

Summer 2026 was the finish line. The home is now the home it was always supposed to be — a 2,400 square foot residence in Scottsdale that reads as if it has always looked this way. That is what we mean when we talk about building for the long view. The materials will age into the home rather than out of it.
