Village Grove Mid-Century Modern Remodeling in Scottsdale – Honoring Haver’s Desert Design
Preserving the Legacy of Village Grove’s Modernist Roots
Village Grove in South Scottsdale is one of the region’s most recognizable mid-century modern enclaves, featuring homes designed by Ralph Haver in the late 1950s and early 1960s. With its signature rooflines, clerestory windows, block construction, and efficient layouts, this neighborhood continues to attract homeowners who appreciate clean design and timeless form.

Every project we undertake is designed to retain architectural authenticity while introducing new comfort and performance.

Kitchen Remodeling in Village Grove
The original Village Grove kitchens were designed for a different era—separate, compact, and tucked away. Our remodeling work brings them into the open while retaining their mid-century feel.

Our kitchens are designed for gathering, cooking, and entertaining—without losing the rhythm and flow of the original architecture.
Bathroom Remodeling with Architectural Sensitivity
Village Grove bathrooms were built with economy in mind, but not always with today’s comfort standards. We reimagine them with spatial efficiency, warmth, and vintage charm.
We offer:
- Floating vanities with retro wood grains or minimalist tones
- Frameless curbless showers with period-inspired tile
- Modern lighting and plumbing fixtures that nod to the 1950s
- Clerestory or high privacy windows that draw in natural light
- Functional layouts that make small spaces feel spacious
Whether it’s a small powder room or a full master bath, we’ll deliver a remodel that feels original—but works like new.
Clerestory Windows: Light, Privacy, and Architectural Rhythm
Clerestory windows are among the most iconic elements of Village Grove homes. Ralph Haver used them to pull in desert light, maintain privacy, and create architectural balance. We take pride in protecting and enhancing these elements.
We specialize in:
- Preserving and restoring original clerestory window frames
- Replacing glazing with modern, energy-efficient options
- Adding new clerestory windows in expansions or renovated spaces
- Aligning window placement with post-and-beam ceilings and wall planes
