Desert Sanctuary

Creating a gracious, welcoming home in the Las Vegas valley calls for a specialist set of skills. To achieve a house that offers privacy and a free-spirited connection to the environment, it makes sense to visit an architecture and design company that specializes in building in the world’s most famous urban desert location.

Pinnacle Architectural Studio is a dynamic architectural firm with a reputation for design- ing dramatic yet functional residential and commercial designs throughout the Las Vegas Valley. With over 15 years’ experience in the field of architecture and high-end custom home design, Pinnacle considers every house a direct reflection of the client’s tastes, desires and needs, says president Quinn Boesenecker.

“In addition, all our clients receive personal, professional service and are never passed from one representative to another – our focus is always on the individual.”

The expansive residence on these pages is an excellent example of Pinnacle’s work and reflects the caliber and skills of subcontractors the company attracts to a project.

“This house interacts seamlessly with its environment – a comprehensive site study was undertaken to ensure every possible outlook was maximized,” says Boesenecker. “Direction, height, and possible future constructions were all taken into account.”

Besides wide-ranging views, the residence features a large open-air courtyard, completely surrounded by the home. This communal area is visible from all areas of the dwelling, and truly brings the outside in, says Boesenecker.
