Bifold doors open The Barn to entertaining spaces and the enviable Scottsdale weather which beckons residents outside much fo the year. With a sports-bar feel, the owners enjoy watching their favorite team, Ole Miss, get beat by the LSU Tigers, the architect's alma mater.

Architect CP Drewett took inspiration from rural buildings and shed-roof forms for the design of the new guest house. Bi-fold windows open the kitchenette and bar to the outdoors.

The structure's deep charcoal-hued exterior serves as a contrast to the rest of the property's white buildings, including the pool ramada and main house. A standing seam metal roof reiterates the bucolic theme.

A large-scale sectional is perfect for watching sports and accommodating extra sleepover guests. On the opposite side of the room, sleek gray cabinetry in the kitchenette and bar hides an array of entertaining necessities, from refrigerator drawers and beverage coolers to shelving for glassware.

A clean, lofty space for fun, natural materials abound including reclaimed barn wood built-ins, a white-washed distressed wood floor, and wood beams.

Concrete-look tile cladding on the fireplace is a smooth counterpoint to the reclaimed wood cabinets, which hide more party accoutrements. The wood-framed pool table also adds a rustic touch.

From Drewett Works

Located in the lush and beautiful Arcadia neighborhood in Phoenix/Scottsdale, Arizona, The Barn began as a vehicle to provide necessary space for the family’s annual Super Bowl Party.
Both hailing from Mississippi, the owners are diehard sports and hospitality fanatics. The Barn was previously an oddly formed outbuilding serving as a guest house. As repeat clients — their first home was featured in Phoenix Home and Gardens Dream Homes issue — they called on fellow southerner C.P. Drewett to transform this forlorned space.

The goal was a western farmhouse with sports bar DNA, a nod to the citrus farm history of the neighborhood and continuing presence of lemon, grapefruit, and orange trees. The result was an open entertainment pavilion boasting bifolding doors, fireplace, and a bar capable of interior/exterior pass-through service. Crisp white paint, limestone, and reclaimed wood create the interior palette while the exterior is painted siding in a deep saturated taupe hue.
