Drewett Works is about an architecture of time and place. An award-winning Arizona-based firm specializing in high-end residential and hospitality projects, Drewett Works unlocks the mysteries of the site to yield buildings that express the deepest essences of the client, the venue, and the intended uses. A large portion of the firm’s body of work is in the Sonoran Desert of Arizona, a natural cornucopia that is a dream canvas for any architect. Founder and lead architect C.P. Drewett brings to the table a passion rooted in his childhood, working with his Marine Corps aviator father, also a woodworking hobbyist, to create objects of lasting beauty. His family moved 18 times during his childhood, giving him a deep sense of respect for regional architectural traditions while fostering excitement about making an impact on a local scale. The 18-person Drewett studio is diverse and brings a keen variety of perspectives and experiences to the design process. The firm’s design approach is restrained and reductive – Drewett edits down the massing and materials palettes to get at the core of the expressive idea. Inspired by the grandees of modernist design without being beholden to them, Drewett Works creates houses that will grace the landscape long after the initial clients and designers are gone. It is design for the ages. No stranger to acclaim, Drewett Works is the recipient of a multitude of honors, and its work has consistently appeared in high-end design publications. Current firm projects span the U.S. from Florida to California as well as Loreto and Los Cabos, Mexico. The firm recently published its first book: STRATA: a desert dwelling (Oscar Riera Ojeda Publishers), featuring the company’s biggest single-residential project to date.

Our projects are the result of an interactive design process with our clients to develop architectural solutions of clarity, economy, and grace. The solutions are never preconceived; rather they are the product of careful research and response to each unique situation and need. The work focuses precisely on the particular attributes of site and context, thoughtfully expanding upon them to arrive at form. Our design sensibility is characterized by a subtle choreography of movement, light, and material textures to create spaces that unfold into dynamic yet unified environments.
