Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Dino Sakellar
I am a Tucson native and second generation architect. My father designed and built the house in 1961 and this is were my siblings and I grew up. Now that my children are grown and moved out I live and have an architectural studio in the west half of the house with a separate entrance.
Why they chose this property
The home has historic significance to Tucson as a classic example of mid-century modern architecture and the family of architects that has designed many distinguished buildings in the Southwest. The neighborhood has changed little over the last 55 years maintaining its natural Sonoran Desert vegetation and beautiful Westward Look Resort grounds.
What makes this property unique
The home was orientated to take full advantage of the view up Pima Canyon in the Catalina Mountains. The open floor plan and abundant sliding glass doors give the home a light and relaxing atmosphere. The screened porch and covered patios extend living spaces out doors.
