  • Ralph Haver AIA was an American Architect who was highly accredited to bringing Modernism to Arizona. Malcolm and Lea weren't necessarily looking for a modernist home when they stumbled upon their current Ralph Haver home. Always intrigued with design and making a space into their own, they saw the potential through their designer Joel Contreras who at the time was one of the few people redesigning historic homes in Arizona. Ralph Haver was known for his use of affordable and practical building materials, such as concrete block and plywood, which allowed him to create affordable postwar homes.
    Malcolm and Lea are a part of a small tract of Ralph Haver homes with only 30 homes in their neighborhood. Throughout the past several years, they have seen a new generation of buyers coming into the neighborhood and lovingly caring/restoring/remodeling the homes. Ralph Haver homes are reminiscent of the Cliff May homes in Southern California, similar construction, design elements and die hard homeowners that are uplifting the legacy of these architects.

    Ummmmm you live in AZ, in a black house, no attic with insulation where it gets over 110 degrees 4 months out of the year….. your electric bill must be insane to keep that place cool! Good thing you have a pool that has 90 degree water in the summer time….. 🥵

    Growing up in Phoenix I always liked Haver homes, but didn’t know anything about them. How I wish I could have bought one! By the time my husband and I looked at one, a very tiny one, there was a cash offer on that first day. 😂 I’m happy for this couple and sorry to read some very judgmental posts making assumptions about them. Trolls, you can express yourselves respectfully if you try. There’s enough in our lives to make us feel bad without your mean vibes.

      Don't know why this is so hard for people to learn. Multiple houses are built on a tract of land and thus called tract homes. There is no such thing as a track home!

      I love the way the owners express how architecture affects their lives. That’s what modern architecture was all about. But sadly look around at Phoenix architecture. It’s as if Frank Lloyd Wright had never existed, let alone lived and worked here.

      Meanwhile, I love how the black accentuates the architecture and textures throughout the house. It makes the play of light and shadows the feature and not the walls and wall color. Also, love how it "hides" things like the tv in the living room is barely noticeable but when colorful pieces are contrasted with the black, like the yellow chairs on the patio it makes them stand out and seem sculptural almost. I was debating painting the exterior of my home in Florida black and this just sold me.

    I think it looks pretty sharp. I like it better on the front than on the back though. Feel like it needs somethin else to break it up some. They definitely improved the look of it by adding that brick wall. Really compliments the architecture. I thought that was probably original.
