Hy-View Mid-Century Modern Remodeling — Renovating with Integrity and Desert Style

Where Architectural Legacy Meets Lifestyle Transformation

Hy-View sits on the border of Phoenix, Scottsdale, and Tempe — a quiet neighborhood filled with classic Ralph Haver homes and the hallmarks of mid-century desert design. With clean horizontal lines, signature clerestory windows, and low-pitched roofs, the homes in Hy-View celebrate both modernism and the practical beauty of desert living.

At Homework Remodels, we bring a respectful, creative approach to Mid-Century Modernization. For over 20 years, we’ve helped Phoenix-area homeowners transform their Haver-designed homes into stylish, livable spaces—without compromising their character.

A Design-Build Process Built for Hy-View Homes

Remodeling a mid-century home requires more than good taste—it requires precision, care, and architectural insight. Our design-build process keeps everything under one roof, making it easy for homeowners to get stunning results without juggling multiple vendors.

Our team handles:

• Architectural planning with MCM authenticity
• Structural solutions for open concept layouts
• Period-appropriate material selections
• Seamless permitting and construction execution

Whether you’re updating your kitchen, adding space, or opening up your floor plan, we ensure your renovation stays true to Haver’s original intent—while making your home more functional and beautiful.

Kitchen Remodeling in Hy-View

Original kitchens in Hy-View were often compact and visually separated from the rest of the home. Today’s families want kitchens that are open, social, and efficient—without losing that vintage charm.

We remodel kitchens to offer:

• Slab-front cabinets in walnut, white oak, or bright laminates
• Integrated appliances and concealed ventilation
• Quartz or terrazzo-style countertops
• Eat-in islands with waterfall edges and seating
• Clerestory windows that flood the kitchen with light while preserving privacy
• Lighting designs that honor ceiling lines and post-and-beam structure

Each kitchen is crafted to blend original inspiration with the needs of modern daily life.

Bathroom Remodeling with MCM Character

Mid-century bathrooms in Hy-View can be functional and charming—but they often lack storage, comfort, and accessibility. We remodel bathrooms to combine modern features with subtle nods to the era’s aesthetic.

Our updates include:

• Floating vanities with warm wood finishes
• Curbless showers with terrazzo or stacked tile
• Modern plumbing with vintage-style fixtures
• Period-appropriate lighting and mirrors
• Thoughtfully placed clerestory windows for natural light and airflow

We can also expand or reconfigure layouts for better use of space while preserving design continuity throughout the home.

Clerestory Windows: Light, Rhythm, Privacy

A defining feature of Hy-View homes is the use of clerestory windows—high, horizontal panes that admit abundant daylight without sacrificing wall space or privacy. They’re a core feature of Haver’s work and deserve special attention during remodeling.

We specialize in:

• Preserving existing clerestory placements
• Recreating window bands with improved energy efficiency
• Matching original framing, trim, and proportions
• Integrating new clerestory windows in additions or remodels

Open Concept Remodeling & Structural Expertise

While many Hy-View homes have generous layouts, some still feature small, divided rooms that don’t reflect today’s open living preferences. Our design-build team is highly experienced in removing structural walls to create open concept living that respects original architecture.

We deliver:

• Load-bearing wall removal with hidden or accent beams
• Seamless transitions between kitchen, dining, and living spaces
• Exposed ceiling detailing and original roofline preservation
• Carefully zoned lighting and flooring to maintain balance and flow

Open layouts don’t just increase usable space—they elevate the entire experience of the home.

Casitas, Guest Houses & Backyard ADUs

Many Hy-View lots offer the perfect conditions for a casita, ADU, or backyard studio. Whether you need space for guests, multigenerational living, or a detached office, we can design and build a structure that complements your main home.

Design considerations include:

• Roofline, window, and material matching for architectural consistency
• Placement for privacy and minimal visual disruption
• High-efficiency construction with period-style accents
• Custom functionality: kitchenettes, baths, storage, and flex space

Outdoor Living: Desert Style for Year-Round Enjoyment

Hy-View homes were designed for desert life, and that means maximizing outdoor living. We help homeowners build stylish, functional outdoor spaces that blend seamlessly with their MCM architecture.

We create:

• Mid-century inspired shade structures and patio extensions
• Custom-built outdoor kitchens and fire pits
• Retrofitted sliders and clerestory window enhancements
• Minimalist landscaping with concrete pads, low-water plants, and lighting

Your yard becomes not just a space, but an experience that complements your interior.

Whole-Home Remodeling for True Transformation

Some Hy-View homeowners come to us ready to reimagine their entire property. Our whole-home remodeling services allow you to modernize every room while staying anchored in architectural integrity.

We offer:

• Complete space reconfiguration
• Whole-house systems updates (electrical, HVAC, plumbing)
• Additions that align with rooflines, masonry, and sightlines
• Total finish upgrades for cabinetry, tile, flooring, windows, and more

You get a home that lives like new—but feels like it always belonged in Hy-View.
