Listed for $10 million, the oasis is a piece of art that merges artistic creativity and functional living. The construction process utilized rammed earth, steel, glass, and stone to create the architectural masterpiece.
The concept very early on was a solid form that’s cracked open to let in light and air while remaining secluded and serene. It was about corralling a piece of the sky and creating privacy.

The desert courtyard house is a once in a lifetime project where the owner, architect, and builder worked together to create a one of a kind of architecture.

The faceted exterior houses an interior of meticulously detailed, luxurious materials including stone, metals, glass, and textiles.

Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty, Arizona’s leader in luxury real estate, is proud to announce the sale of award-winning interior designer David Michael Miller’s Paradise Valley estate. The hillside contemporary estate was originally designed by acclaimed architect Ned Sawyer.
This exclusive property is the former home of renowned interior designer David Michael Miller and was completely remodeled by him in 2016. Miller has established his accredited career in the Southwest and initially began design in Phoenix. Since 1989, he has led his own interior design firm called David Michael Miller Associates. Miller is known for his ability to make living spaces “quiet.” He emphasizes ridding spaces of unnecessary visual noise and allowing the architecture to speak for itself.
The Lein House, as it was named, was well designed by its original architect Ned Sawyer back in the middle 1980’s. Updating such a house was a worthy task and such a pleasure to do. The house is timeless in its siting and architectural style, and now that the glass systems, mechanical, millwork, flooring, and new pool and deck are in, the house will look great for the next forty years. In my work on the house with architect Susan Biegner, I tried to add finishes that brought more warmth, while still respecting its architectural origins. The house needed to be updated, and I felt like I was the one to do it. It was difficult to let go of that desert sanctuary on the hill.
