about sWaback partners
Swaback Partners is a team of dedicated professionals providing comprehensive
architectural design, interior design, and environmental design services for
extraordinary properties and clients expecting the highest level of personalized
service and design creativity. A growing portfolio of repeat clients is a testament
to a consistently rewarding and enjoyable co-design process.
Since it’s inception in 1978, and Inspired by an uncommon association with
Frank Lloyd Wright, the firm’s custom home experience spans from Connecticut
to Hawaii and from Lake Michigan to Lake Tahoe. International work has been
provided for notable clients in the Middle East and throughout Mexico.
Headquartered in Scottsdale, the majority of our designs are prepared for the
desert environment, and this experience has resulted in an appreciation for
the opportunities that the desert environment offers, including effective use of
natural light, colorful landscapes, breezes and abundant indoor-outdoor living
accommodations. Good design has an influential power much more than simple
stylistic reference. Well designed spaces have the ability to shape behavior.
Swaback Partners has a design record based strongly in sustainable building
practices. In addition to design for custom homes, this unique design approach
has been applied to numerous resorts, resort residential developments, hotels,
restaurants, private clubs and spas.
responsive design
When designing a custom home we consider our clients as “co-designers” to guide the design objectives.
This collaboration is an effective tool to create and elevate the homeowner’s
vision. The range of designs in Swaback Partners’ portfolio illustrates the
effectiveness of this approach to design.
The most exciting architect/client relationships push away all preconceived
notions while exploring a richness of possibilities. Both client and architect
dream of something neither has yet seen. Rather than starting out with
“answers”, the goal of this process of discovery is to create something special
and settle for nothing less.
on time and on budget
Swaback Partners has an extensive list of satisfied clients. Meeting or
exceeding schedule and budget expectations is a factor in this success.
The general contractor selected for construction has a primary role in
successfully achieving this objective, and as such, Swaback Partners would
like to participate in this process. We have developed a process during
design involving the general contractor that has been an effective tool to
reinforce the schedule and budget goal.

No architect, worthy of the name, ever loses the thrill of imagining dreams into reality. The same is true of the best client.
Children know the feeling of losing themselves in the fascination of making drawings and models. This sense of wonder is felt
by client and architect alike, the difference being, that we get to one day walk through full-scale versions of our dreams. It
would be difficult to think of anything more enjoyable than the opportunity to bring feelings to life, in support of life itself.

The process of design is a sequential pattern of steps, beginning with architect and client, followed by the addition of new
participants, each one responsible for specific tasks within an overall framework. When done right, the process of design is
every bit as exciting as the ultimate reality.
Architecture is a deeper sense of design, that goes beyond the arrangement of rooms , spaces, and things, to the choices
made when shaping personal environments. It is the pursuit of a personal ideal made real.
