Markzeff channels desert modernism at Mountain Shadows resort
New York City designer Mark Zeff has looked to 1960s desert-modern trends for the interiors of the rebuilt Mountain Shadows resort in Arizona.
The boutique hotel is located in Paradise Valley ? a desirable alternative to Las Vegas for the 1950s Hollywood elite, which is still home to copious luxury resorts, spas and golf destinations.
Mountain Shadows owners commissioned Zeff's eponymous design firm to complete the interior of the two-storey property, after it was entirely rebuilt to its original mid-century plans.
Zeff used his personal affinity for this era and penchant for monochrome spaces to come up with an aesthetic that puts a contemporary spin on modernism.
"We really wanted the resort to blend into the environment," the designer told Dezeen. "With desert modern style, the landscape is part of the experience and architecture is almost secondary. That also applies to the interiors."
The layout of the resort comprises a linear volume containing the public spaces, and perpendicular wings containing guest rooms that extend back towards the rising topography.
A swimming pool and sunbathing area sits between two accommodation blocks, capped by the fitness suite. Grassy outdoor spaces around the property can be used for events like corporate parties and weddings.
In the lobby, the focal point is an expansive four-by-six-metre window ? which Zeff describes as a "movie screen" ? that looks out to Camelback Mountain.
