Case Study

Karla Isais Studio

Sun West Custom Homes

aqua house.

This was the first luxury model home for Sun West. The home was built in 8 months and that included all of the interior design drawings, selection, and purchasing. The goal was to make the home contemporary but still feel warm and natural because of its close connection to the desert landscape and water features throughout the home.

The balance of wood, stone, and water is what makes this model home so unique and beautiful. As the lead designer on the project I was the go to person for the team and attended the weekly subcontractor meetings. I was in charge of the design selections and design features throughout the home. I worked with the junior designer to complete the selection of FF&E items in a short amount of time, due to the fast pace construction of the project. This was an enormous challenge and I am happy to say it was completed on time with all of the furniture and accessories installed. The company received the 2017 Silver Nugget award for “Home of the Year” for the Waters Edge model home.

“Karla has designed two of my custom homes, and each experience has been exceptional. From the initial concepts to the final details, her process is thoughtful, organized, and highly collaborative. She has a remarkable ability to take my ideas and elevate them, resulting in spaces that are not only beautifully designed but also feel uniquely personal. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome.”

“Working with Karla on multiple high end residential homes—most notably the Waters Edge model in the prestigious MacDonald Highlands community—has been an incredible creative partnership. Her approach to interior design is both thoughtful and innovative, and together we’ve consistently coordinated interior and exterior elements to create seamless transitions from indoor living to outdoor living.”

“My husband and I are DIY-ers and were working on an extension on our house. When I discovered Karla’s interior design talent, I decided to reach out to her to help bring our vision to life. Karla came to our house, did a walk through our entire home to get a sense of our style and taste, and got to work.”
