Mid-Century Modern Remodeling in Town & Country Scottsdale — Design Legacy, Modern Comfort
Town & Country Scottsdale: Mid-Century Style with Enduring Appeal
Tucked just northeast of Old Town, Town & Country Scottsdale is one of the city’s most distinctive mid-century enclaves. Developed in the late 1950s, many of its homes were designed by renowned Arizona architect Ralph Haver, whose clean lines, modest footprints, and desert-smart design principles remain a beloved hallmark of Phoenix-area modernism.
This neighborhood blends architectural clarity with a genuine sense of community. Slump block, clerestory windows, breezeblock privacy screens, carports, and indoor-outdoor transitions are everywhere you look—proof that good design endures.
At Homework Remodels, we specialize in Mid-Century Modernization for Haver neighborhoods like Town & Country. Our design-build remodeling process enhances comfort, function, and long-term value while preserving the architectural soul that makes your home special.
What Defines a Town & Country Scottsdale Home?
While many mid-century subdivisions embraced repetition, Town & Country Scottsdale stood out for its architectural restraint, thoughtful siting, and attention to proportion. These homes were built for real living—unpretentious, efficient, and stylistically forward-thinking.
Signature features include:
- Single-story layouts with easy access and open yards
- Low-pitched gable or butterfly roofs with deep eaves
- Post-and-beam construction that enables open interiors
- Clerestory and corner windows that invite natural light
- Block or slump stone facades with exposed texture
- Carports and breezeblock fencing that create passive cooling and visual interest
These Haver homes were ahead of their time—but after six or seven decades, even great design needs a refresh. Our goal is to revive your home’s livability without compromising its design DNA.
What Is Mid-Century Modernization?
We coined the term Mid-Century Modernization to describe our philosophy for remodeling homes in architecturally significant neighborhoods like Town & Country Scottsdale. It’s a blend of sensitive preservation and design-forward enhancement—what we call Mid-Century Modernizing.
“Mid-Century Modernization is about enhancing livability while preserving authenticity—giving homeowners the comfort they need with the character they love.”
In Town & Country Scottsdale, this often means:
- Reworking floorplans to remove barriers and increase flow
- Expanding kitchens while respecting ceiling lines and sightlines
- Modernizing bathrooms with timeless, space-efficient finishes
- Upgrading systems (electrical, HVAC, insulation, plumbing)
- Creating seamless additions that mirror rooflines and massing
We carefully study each home’s original layout and intent, using that as our starting point—not something to erase, but something to build upon.
