180 Degrees Design + Build is an architect-led design-build firm specializing in high end custom residential design and remodels, technically challenging commercial design and construction, historic preservation, and adaptive re-use. Phoenix, Arizona and the surrounding desert Southwest provide the dramatic backdrop for our modern, elegant, and purpose-driven architecture.

The last two decades have brought 180 Degrees a wide variety of clients and technical challenges, resulting in award-winning work that defies the categorical constraints of a single aesthetic. Our practice is driven by sensitivity to client needs, high performance demands, an intense climate, and the urge to create beautiful solutions for challenging problems.

Our experience as master builders gives us tremendous insight into how architecture actually works, helping bridge the gaps that often occur between a client’s vision, a realistic budget, and the skillful execution of significant, and sincere architectural works. 

Adhering to a code of both ethics and creativity helps us build a culture that attracts similar-minded collaborators, from clients to subcontractors. At 180 Degrees Design + Build we’ve embodied our brand values as four pillars. 

The book exemplifies projects that we believe embody these four pillars, so the reader might better appreciate them in action. In the same spirit that Frank Lloyd Wright graced some of his favored works with his signature red tile, we too grace our projects with what we call “degrees”. We’ve curated sixteen of these degrees to feature in this first-ever monograph of our work, and hope you will envision a future project of your own among them.
