The Ranch Mine

Tasked with creating a new home on a tiny lot in a historic neighborhood under demanding architecture codes, Cavin and Claire Costello found creative uses for space and common materials. The result is an award-winning design that's caught the eye of many Phoenix homeowners, who now want some of the same features in their own houses.

A security-conscious couple wanted a home where they could live safely — and in style. The Ranch Mine designed an open floor plan with luxurious, modern amenities that met their clients' needs while reflecting their unique, artistic personalities and creating a sense of home.

Tucked away in a historic Phoenix neighborhood is a 1980s contemporary gem that was in need of some serious love and restoration. Without personally seeing the estate, a bachelor and world traveler purchased the rundown home and called designers Cavin and Claire Costello to return it to its former glory.
