Ahwatukee Mid-Century Modern Remodeling

Mid-Century Modern Remodeling in Ahwatukee — Timeless Design Meets Desert Living

Rediscovering Ahwatukee’s Mid-Century Style

Tucked against the South Mountain Preserve, Ahwatukee is often celebrated for its mountain views, strong community feel, and peaceful desert setting. But it also holds a quieter treasure: a collection of early ranch-style and mid-century modern homes, built during the area’s initial development in the 1960s and 70s.

These homes often feature:

• Low-slung rooflines and simple silhouettes
• Block or slump stone construction
• Breezeblock accents and deep overhangs
• Carports or early garages integrated with architecture
• Large lots with potential for indoor-outdoor upgrades

At Homework Remodels, we help Ahwatukee homeowners embrace the best of mid-century design while updating their homes to be more comfortable, open, and functional. Our Mid-Century Modernization process blends architectural integrity with modern performance, and it’s perfect for the homes found in Ahwatukee Foothills, Warner-Elliot Loop, and nearby areas.

What Is Mid-Century Modernization?

We define Mid-Century Modernization as a design-build remodeling process that honors the design intent of 1950s–70s homes while enhancing layout, livability, and performance.

“Mid-Century Modernization respects history but lives for the present—it’s timeless style, redefined for how you live today.”

In Ahwatukee, that often means:

• Opening closed-off kitchens and living spaces
• Converting carports into functional casitas or guest suites
• Reconfiguring dated bathrooms
• Adding skylights and sliders to bring in the views
• Building additions that extend the home’s footprint with sensitivity
