DESCRIPTION

The Moroccan/Modern oasis known as the Davis House' is said to be the first built in Thunderbird Heights. Built in 1957, designed by Eggers & Wilkman AIA and was instantly published in a 22 page spread in House Beautiful. T.H Robsjohn-Gibbings whose clients included Walter Annenberg, Aristotle Onassis, Elizabeth Arden and Doris Duke was hired in 1957 for all interior design. Perfectly proportioned, the bones of this home dig into the modernist's toolbox of space, geometry, and light; drawing heavily from classicism with masterfully hand-crafted decorative treatments. A bleached walnut dining room, oceans of carrera marble floors inside and out, hand craved walnut screens, antique bronze light fixtures, gold claw-and-ivory ball door pulls and a Norwegian rose marble master bath. 52 years later the owner and award winning set designer Miriam Seger have re-animated this important home in the spirit of preservation, with a contemporary nod to the iconoclastic original decor of Gibbings.
