The Reinhart Residence in Scottsdale, AZ stands as a compelling example of how premium natural stone can unify an expansive outdoor living environment with cohesion, durability, and refined desert-modern aesthetics. Spanning 1,800 square feet across multiple exterior applications, this 2020 residential project called for a stone capable of performing beautifully under Arizona's intense sun while delivering the clean, sophisticated palette the design demanded. The answer was found in ANS MERMER USA's Plata collection — a natural stone patio and hardscape solution that proved equally at home beside the pool, along the walkways, and beneath bare feet on the spa deck.

Stone Selection

Every surface in the Reinhart Residence was executed using stones drawn exclusively from ANS MERMER USA's Plata collection. The primary field areas feature the Plata Honed 16x24 3cm Modern Tumbled Paver, whose lightly tumbled edges and honed face deliver a surface that is simultaneously refined and slip-resistant — a critical performance requirement for pool and spa environments in Scottsdale, AZ. Transitional and pattern-driven zones utilize the Plata Honed French Pattern 3cm Modern Tumbled Paver, introducing organic visual rhythm without disrupting the project's tonal consistency. Pool and spa perimeters are finished with the Plata Honed 16x24 3cm Single Bullnose Coping, providing safe, polished edge detailing that completes each water feature with architectural precision.

Applications

• Patio: Plata Honed 16x24 Modern Tumbled Pavers laid in a clean grid pattern anchor the primary outdoor entertaining area.

• Flooring: Continuous Plata paving transitions seamlessly from exterior thresholds into adjacent hardscape zones.

• Pool Deck: Plata Honed Modern Tumbled Pavers provide a cool-to-the-touch, slip-resistant surface ideal for Arizona's high-heat conditions.

• Pool Coping: Plata Single Bullnose Coping defines the pool perimeter with a clean, safety-conscious edge profile.

• Spa: Matching Plata coping and deck pavers ensure the spa integrates visually and functionally with the broader pool environment.

• Walkway: Plata Honed French Pattern Pavers create a naturalistic path connecting landscape zones throughout the property.

• Staircase: Plata pavers and bullnose pieces were combined to construct durable, visually consistent exterior stairs.

• Landscape: Coordinated Plata stonework by Keven's Landscaping ties hardscape elements into the surrounding desert landscape design.

Project Highlights

• 1,800 square feet of natural stone installed across eight distinct application types, demonstrating the Plata collection's versatility at scale.

• A single-collection design strategy using three complementary Plata products achieved visual unity across all exterior zones without monotony.

• The 3cm thickness and honed-tumbled finish combination was selected to withstand Arizona's thermal cycling while maintaining long-term surface integrity.

• Marvel Masonry's precision installation ensured tight tolerances at coping junctions and staircase nosings, where fit and finish are most visible.

• The French Pattern layout in walkway and landscape zones introduced movement and scale variation, softening the geometry of the broader hardscape plan.
