Year Built: 1964

From the Agent: "This beautiful condo located in the central corridor of Phoenix has undergone an amazing renovation. The owner, Vince Scarano, is an architect with a passion for 1970s brutalist design which he showcases expertly in his personal residence we are now selling. The building itself, Olympus, is an iconic Phoenix fixture, designed in the 1960s by architect Robert Starkovich."
The renovated loft sits within Olympus, a pale yellow condominium complex designed by architect Robert Starkovich in 1964. With an exterior marked by walls of fleur-de-lis patterned breeze blocks and concrete arches, the complex is surrounded by plants characteristic of Phoenix’s hot desert climate.

"It’s a passionately implemented renovation that is ‘newtro’ in quality, taking cues from vintage design with decidedly current day upgrades," notes listing agent Jennifer Schaefer. The apartment is located on the top floor (with elevator access), and floor-to-ceiling glazing bathes the space in daylight.
