Mark Candelaria Homes: Designs for Inspired Living

Arizona-based architect Mark Candelaria is recognized for his timeless luxury designs and signature style rooted in classical form and functionality. In Mark Candelaria Homes, the architect presents 12 pivotal projects from the past decade and pulls back the curtain to share the stories behind them. Each project is accompanied by full-color photographs, floor plans, and sketches. The book brims with design ideas for every taste, from a Spanish colonial-influenced house on axis with views of Arizona's Mummy Mountain, to a reimagined historic English Tudor, to a modernist home inspired by ranch haciendas. Candelaria describes the design process with many personal anecdotes, illustrating that the design of a home should be fun and result not just in a set of plans but a backdrop to living one's best life. An avid traveler and hobbyist chef, Candelaria includes a recipe with each house, many times prepared for or with the client as a grand finale.
