Rookie of the Year

“Over the last 10 years, there’s been a shift in the

attitudes of architects. They have more respect for what

we do because we look at the whole project from the inside

out. We ask ourselves, does it flow? Can it be

furnished correctly?” Donna says.

One of Vallone Design’s projects, DMB’s Silverleaf Coun-

try Club in Scottsdale, Arizona, began with a golf club-

house design, and branched into several residential

interior design projects within the community.

Donna says the design directive for the clubhouse was

to create a rural Mediterranean feel. More than half of the

architectural materials were imported from Europe—roof

tiles, flooring, windows and doors.

Antiques were collected for three years, and many of

the furnishings are old pieces from Donna’s travels.

“The project owners let us ‘collect,’ which is why the

clubhouse turned out so wonderful,” Donna says. “We

incorporated a lot of traditional fabrics, and the walls are

Venetian hand-plastered. The Silverleaf Clubhouse also

has one of the most elaborate ladies’ locker rooms we’ve

ever designed. When people walk inside, they feel like

they’ve been transported to a European village in the

Tuscan countryside.”

Several of Silverleaf’s homeowners hired Vallone Design

to do their own personal residences. Many of these are

second, third or even fourth homes for the owners.

Traditional. Fresh. Whimsical. Modern. Timeless.

They’re all words used to describe the home and

hospitality interiors that have been artfully created

by Vallone Design, Inc.

Located at 7007 E. 3rd Avenue in Old Town, the

Scottsdale, Arizona-based interior design firm is renowned

for creating luxury residential, private club, spa and hotel

spaces that reflect the personality and lifestyle of its clients.

“We’re all about individual

style,” says Donna Vallone,

the firm’s president and lead

designer. “Our 16-member

team listens carefully to

clients about their lifestyle

and needs. I don’t want

people to walk into one of

our interiors and say, ‘Oh,

this is a Vallone design.’”

“We feel it’s our role to

ensure our design team

provides the client with a

space that captures the individual identity of the location,

while providing a timeless atmosphere,” Donna says.

To that end, Vallone Design is very respectful of the

architecture of the home, working with the architect, if

possible, or the existing floor plans and elevations.

Silverleaf Club Spike Bar:The old-world bar features a zinc top and is juxtaposedwith funky, contemporary art. An open wall betweenthe bar and dining room creates an energizing buzz.

Where Innovative Design Meets

Individual Style.

By D.D. Kullman

“They have very traditional homes in their home states,

so they ask us to create more of a fun vacation feel for their

residences here.”

Donna says a big trend right now is creating family-

oriented golf communities. Unlike traditional men’s-only

clubs, many men today want to have lunch with their wives

and kids. The Martis Camp Family Barn, another project

by DMB and Highlands Development Group in Truckee,

California, is one of Vallone Design’s projects that embraces

this trend by offering something for everyone in the family,

including plenty of places for kids to hang out.

A resort feel is achievedat this private residencein Silverleaf with an indoor/outdoor lifestyleand a putting green rightaround the corner.


At Vallone Design, first meetings with prospective clients

include sharing ideas. “People come to us with loose pictures

or have put books together of things they’ve collected, or

things they like. They’ve even brought pictures from our

website or a magazine

article about us without

knowing we did the

designs,” Donna says.

“Our goal is to foster a

relationship that invites

open communication,

teamwork and an aware-

ness of the client’s needs.”

Vallone Design has

a warehouse in north

Scottsdale where they

store a good supply of

lamps, accessories,

antiques and unusual

pieces. An annual sale

that’s open to the

public is typically held

in February.

It isnestled into the majestic McDowell MountainSonoran Preserve in North Scottsdale. Homesrange in size from 2,700 to over 30,000 squarefeet and homesites are available from a quarteracre to over ten acres. My wife Peggy and I invested in a spectacular mountainside lotthat gives us the feeling that we are standingon the moon when gazing at the twinklinglights of the valley below.

Silverleaf Club membership is an option,but once we toured the club amenities, wecouldn’t resist joining. The 50,000 square footclub house is easily one of the most luxuriousin the world. The atmosphere is spectacularand the food is superb. The spa facilities aresecond to none and we love lounging at the resort style pool. The locker rooms are themost lavish I have ever seen with the women’srivaling the men’s. The challenging 7,322 yardchampionship golf course designed by TomWeiskopf is meticulously conditioned. Youwon’t find a better golf experience anywhere.

That said, what I like the most about theSilverleaf Club is its members and staff. Unlikesome clubs, there is no presumptuousness orstuffiness here. The atmosphere is casual andeveryone is so friendly.

An investment in Silverleaf is well protectedas its property values are among the most stablein the Phoenix metro area.

n 2006, my husband, Gary Ireton, had just retired for asecond time. He had a lot of time on his hands, so Isuggested we look at Mirabel. The rest, as they say,is history. We were very impressed by the stunning

Synonymous with fine propertiesLAURA

MATTLISA


Stone Canyon C enturies ago, the Hohokam people were on to

something. And Jay Morrish shared their appreciation for what lay before him. His modern day concern?

Messing with what Mother Nature had created and the area’s very early inhabitants clearly understood and respected. As it turned out, the legendary golf course designer’s reverence for the landscape would result in a Sonoran Desert treasure, esteemed

by residents, players and most recently, some of the most well respected names in the game of golf.

A PA T I E N T A P P R O A C H

On Morrish’s first visit to this stunning environment, set amidst the Santa Catalina and Tortolita Mountains in northwest Tucson, he was in awe of the extraordinary

beauty and rich texture of the expansive desert. Despite an already impressive collection of championship courses lining his portfolio, he chose to consider himself a mere “custodian” of a near perfect natural setting.

The result of this “Master of the Desert’s” meticulous and thoughtful effort is a 7300-yard gem that has since collected numerous top-drawer awards and accolades. Admirers note the conservation-minded use of just 78 acres of turf, which ultimately rewards accurate and thoughtful shot making. Undulating greens, various grass heights and slopes paired with vast bunkers add to the sporting nature of each round.

Yet, perhaps most importantly, the challenging yet playable course, has garnered the deep appreciation of a membership that relishes the giant saguaros, native trees, flowering plants, and historic petroglyphs that remain interspersed and serve as the backdrop for the impressive track.

“I’ve been a member of

the Stone Canyon Club

for ten years. It’s simply

the most beautiful desert

course on the planet.

With great members

and a tremendous staff,

I cannot imagine a better

club anywhere.”

– Dr. Lawrence Jehling


A N E W H O R I Z O N

Most recently, the ownership team of Phil Mickelson and Steve Loy has embraced the timeless beauty of Stone Canyon, bringing the club into their latest business venture.

“We are looking forward to some great years ahead,” explained Mike Russell, Director of Club Operations. “The Mickelson/Loy team’s professional approach, combined with their deep knowledge of the game and the private club experience bodes well for our future. News of the new ownership has been very well received by the members.”

And the future is now.

Under the design leadership of Erik Peterson’s Phx Architecture, plans for a 25,000 square foot clubhouse are underway. Members will soon gather in private, indoor and outdoor dining spaces, lounge areas and around fire pits offering 270-degree views of the craggy rock formations and the stunning desert landscape that draws members from around the world. Located adjacent to the 18th green, the new clubhouse will also include spacious locker rooms and a pro shop.

Nearby, an extensive, luxury health and fitness facility will continue to provide a full range of classes and programs designed to enhance the lifestyle of club members. From tennis,

swimming, yoga and Pilates to state-of-the-art universal machines, cardiovascular, core-based and stretching equipment, members have the tools and the professional assistance to develop and attain their personal fitness goals. A limited number of health and fitness memberships are available.

A T H O M E I N S T O N E C A N Y O N

No doubt, the area’s natural beauty and the promise of sunny afternoons on the links lure members to the Oro Valley. But there is more.

“Having had the opportunity to play many of the finest golf courses in the country, I believe the club showcases the finest in desert golf anywhere,” explained member Larry Anton, recalling his initial visit to The Stone Canyon Club.“From the first moment, we knew this was the place for us. There was a welcoming and friendly tone and we were immediately included not only in golf, but also in social activities. Those members have become dear friends.”

* * *

Included in the rock art left behind by the Hohokam people is a drawing of a spiral or bulls eye also know as the Vistosa Sun. As the early inhabitants presaged, the future is looking bright at Stone Canyon.

For those who choose to live at The Stone Canyon Club, options include custom home sites with majestic mountain and Sonoran Desert views as well as a wide range of architecturally diverse custom homes for those seeking a move-in ready solution. Additional new home options are in the early stages of development.

Stone Canyon is located on 1400 acres within the beautiful master planned “Rancho Vistoso” community in Tucson’s Oro Valley, known as the “Scottsdale” of Tucson. Nestled at the foot of the rugged Tortolita Mountains with magnificent views of the famed Catalina Mountains, we enjoy a resort-like lifestyle with world-class golf and walking, hiking and biking trails. Stone Canyon offers the perfect lifestyle!

You can reach Barbara Bardach at 520-742-0303, by

email at [email protected], or visit BarbaraBardach.com

My husband Stu and I thoroughly enjoy our life in Stone Canyon.

After achieving our career goals in Silicon Valley, we decided to retire in Tucson and acquire property in Stone Canyon when it opened 14 years ago. The setting among rocky outcroppings dotted with

saguaros is mesmerizing and the views of the incredible Catalina Mountains unparalleled. Stone Canyon is truly an exceptional residential golf community with a Jay Morrish-designed course Golf Week magazine ranks in the top thirty among residential courses.

This is an exciting time to live in Stone Canyon. Our Club was recently acquired by Phil Mickelson and his friend and long-time manager Steve Loy so it’s an opportune time to take advantage of very attractive membership options. We are also looking forward to the brand-new clubhouse that will be under construction in 2015 which has been designed

by PHX Architecture, one of the West’s most recognized clubhouse design groups.

DESERT HIGHLANDScasual barbecue at the tennis center while our daughter takes a lesson. All of the facilities are kept in pristine condition and the professional staff always greets you with a smile and knows your name.

There is also a strong willingness to change with the times. Last October a major renovation of the clubhouse was completed to address the desire of residents for a more casual, indoor-outdoor setting. Even though the golf facilities are regularly improved and enhanced, the renovated clubhouse is really a game changer that in our eyes has elevated Desert Highlands even higher.

Because the community is set at the base of Pinnacle Peak, the views we get to see every day are amazing. Because Desert Highlands is a bit removed from the hustle and bustle of the city we enjoy the peace and quiet, but we’re still very close to the best shopping and dining options, and the 101 is nearby if we want to go downtown for sporting events.

s Arizona natives who grew up in Scottsdale, we evaluated all of the private communities

in the area and felt that Desert Highlands had the best mix of amenities, ambiance

and location. After moving here we instantly felt a real sense of community where people truly care about each other. That has not changed in the 15 years we have lived here and our seven-year-old daughter feels right at home too.

In terms of amenities, there is something for everyone. The centerpiece is the beautiful Jack Nicklaus-designed golf course, which has multiple tees at each hole that make it as easy or as challenging as you want. There’s also one of the country’s best tennis centers—with 13 courts and three different playing surfaces—a fitness center that looks out over the Valley, wine clubs, card games and even an 18-hole putting course. We enjoy taking our dog for strolls along the walking paths throughout the community or having a
