FROM THE FIRST BLUEPRINT

Experience that lasts.
Ideas that keep evolving.

Timber framing of a SUNdearA custom home, with the Arizona mountains framed by its future windows

Brian McCollom has been building custom homes since 1985, from Arizona’s West Valley to the pines of Munds Park.

At SUNdearA, that experience meets a fresh approach to design. Natural materials, open spaces, and thoughtful details come together around what matters most: the way you want to live.

DESIGNED AROUND DAYLIGHT

A home in rhythm
with your day.

Thoughtful windows and room placement welcome morning light, soften afternoon glare, and ease the transition to evening.

Daylight, on your terms. Automated shades help soften sunlight and reduce glare as your day unfolds. LutronExplore automated shades

MORNING

Welcome the
first light.

Welcome morning light into your kitchen, breakfast nook, or terrace, with shade to manage heat and glare.

Room placement · Morning routines

DAYTIME

Let light in.
Keep heat in check.

Balance daylight with shade. Window placement, overhangs, and trees help manage heat and glare, especially from the afternoon sun.

Window orientation · Arizona shade

EVENING

Make space
to wind down.

Settle into softer, dimmable lighting in the evening, with bedroom shades to block unwanted light at night.

Softer lighting · Darker bedrooms

Start with the site. Shape it around you. Plan for your site, the seasons, and your daily routine before the floor plan takes shape.

WATER & WELL-BEING

Water, light,
a moment of calm.

A quiet fountain. Reflections across a pond. An outdoor space that invites you to slow down.

A calmer backdrop.
Research on natural sounds, including water, suggests benefits for stress and mood. A gently flowing fountain can bring that connection to nature into a courtyard or garden.
A place to reconnect.
Bring water into view from a living room or beside a shaded terrace. Comfortable seating turns a feature you look at into a space you spend time in.

Thoughtful in the desert. Choose the scale carefully, with recirculating water and a plan for evaporation, water care, and maintenance. Explore Arizona water guidance.

SOUND & EVERYDAY WELL-BEING

Your home.
Your soundtrack.

Music for slow mornings, a lively dinner, or a quiet evening. Whole-home audio brings your favorite sounds into the rooms you use most.

Sound that fits your space. Discreet ceiling and wall speakers keep the focus on your home. With Sonos, enjoy a shared soundtrack or different music in different rooms, with simple control from your phone.
