Page 13 “We were a great team,” said Roger. “We were able to tweak our overall vision, applying Allison’s expertise to our big ideas. She knew what would and would not work.” The Hurnis were steadfast about a few things. They longed for their home to feel like a big New York flat. Having one large living space made up of a dining room, kitchen and family room, was a must. They wanted every bedroom to be a master bedroom, complete with a large closet and bathroom. Another change they made was seamlessly blending the indoor and outdoor parts of the property. This was accomplished by large walls made entirely of windows and hallways that look outside, while also leading to a space inside the home. Alfred Newman Beadle, an Arizona architect who was known as a true pioneer of the mid-century modernist movement, was a major inspiration for the Hurnis. Beadle built a variety of structures throughout the desert from 1952 to 1998, including banks, hotels, office buildings, apartments and homes. Beadle’s buildings were sometimes known as “Beadle Boxes,” and were compared to the sparse, rectilinear work of Mies van der Rohe, whose theory was simple: steel and glass arranged precisely home is designed with large amounts of steel surrounding the outside and inside of the home. Industrial elements, such as immense doors held by oversized metal hardware and raw wood beams peaking out of the structure, add accents that highlight the modernism. “There was beauty in the raw construction materials,” said Roger. “We tried to keep many of them.” Artwork and creativity are essential to this family. “We wanted the inside features to feel like a gallery,” said Roger. The interior of the home is mostly gray. The color was specifically chosen because when light hits different corners and walls, it changes a bit. Art is hung on various walls, many brought back from trips around the world. A rug from South Africa is framed; sculptures and paintings from Zimbabwe, Tanzania and Prague simply, yet specifically accentuate the home. Barn doors on exposed rollers slide to cover the doorways to the pantry and the playroom. “The key is to never cheap out on the hardware. We learned that repeatedly,” said Roger. Bedroom doors are solid core, made from birch. Nothing is sealed, to get a desired look. The front door is 550 pounds and requires a soft close hinge, to within strict orderly grid systems. The specific use of glass throughout Beadle’s structures allowed individuals to simply disappear into their surroundings. The transparency made the homes special and with different lighting, such moonlight, the spaces could magically change. In 1965 Beadle told the Arizona Republic of his own home, “The reflections from room to room and the reflections of the city’s lights make the dimensions of the home disappear. Then we’re suspended into space.” He went on to say, “Every house should have a surprise for its owners. This was our surprise. We had never suspected the talents of our home.” The Hurnis were after the same experience. It was said that Beadle never forgot he was in the desert. He celebrated it. The Hurni’s home is placed perfectly in front of Camelback Mountain, the beauty of the mountain shining through their back windows each morning, the desert ever-present in their daily lives. “The first time we had a party in our new home, we had friends outside, in the kitchen, living room and dining room. Everyone was spread out but seemed to be together. We realized we had accomplished our goal,” said Roger.
