The Hegenes Residence in Cave Creek, AZ stands as a compelling example of how premium natural stone can unify an entire outdoor and indoor living environment. Spanning 2,800 square feet across multiple applications, this 2025 project — executed in collaboration with Shasta Signature Pools and ANS MERMER — demonstrates the full design range achievable with thoughtfully selected stone. From the natural stone pool deck and coping to interior flooring, countertops, and a fireplace surround, every surface was treated as an opportunity to reinforce a cohesive, high-desert aesthetic rooted in texture, warmth, and longevity.

Stone Selection

Two collections anchored this Cave Creek, AZ stone project: Cafe Premium and Silver Premium. The Cafe Premium collection was deployed across multiple paver formats — 12x12, 6x12, and 6x6 in a honed, modern tumbled finish at 3cm thickness — along with the ANS Combo Pattern for areas requiring visual rhythm and dimensional variety. Its warm, earthy tones complement the Sonoran Desert surroundings while the tumbled edge profile softens transitions between spaces. The Silver Premium collection, featured in both 6x24 Flat and 6x20 Corner Split Face Ledger Panels, introduced a cooler, textural contrast through its dimensional split-face surface — ideal for vertical cladding applications demanding depth and tactile presence.

Applications

• Pool Deck: Cafe Premium honed tumbled pavers in the ANS Combo Pattern and individual sizes create a slip-resistant, heat-reflective surface around the pool area.

• Pool Coping: Cafe Premium 6x12 and 12x12 tumbled pavers provide a clean, durable edge transition between the pool shell and deck surface.

• Patio: The Combo Pattern layout extends the outdoor living zone with a consistent, designer-grade finish underfoot.

• Flooring: Cafe Premium honed pavers carry the natural stone language seamlessly from exterior to interior spaces.

• Countertop: Cafe Premium's honed surface delivers a refined, workable finish suited to both kitchen and outdoor bar applications.

• Feature Wall & Fireplace: Silver Premium Split Face Ledger Panels — flat and corner — clad the fireplace surround and feature wall, adding dramatic vertical texture and tonal contrast.

• Landscape: Natural stone pavers integrate into the surrounding landscape, anchoring hardscape transitions with material consistency.

Project Highlights

• 2,800 sq. ft. of natural stone installed across seven distinct interior and exterior applications.

• Dual-collection strategy — warm Cafe Premium pavers paired with cool Silver Premium ledger panels — creates intentional tonal contrast throughout the property.

• 3cm tumbled pavers selected for superior durability, slip resistance, and thermal performance in Arizona's high-heat climate.

• Split face corner panels on the fireplace and feature wall eliminate visible seams, delivering a fully resolved, architectural finish.

• Seamless material continuity from pool deck to interior flooring reinforces a unified design language across the entire residence.
