After opening these beautiful gates, Tyler began
a procession of silver Mexican chandeliers,
starting from outside, leading your eye on into
an exquisite entry hall.

The soft blend of colors Tyler used
brought out the warmth of the floors,
even the formal furnishings seemed to
take on a more inviting expression.


   
It was one of those bright winter days in Tucson when I met interior designer Tyler Atkinson at the entrance to a small, new enclave of homes in the Ft Lowell Historic district to see a project she had just completed for her client Greg Rolling, M.D., an anesthesiologist. I was led down a couple of rambling streets, past adobe walls, old twisted mesquite trees, windows with rusted, antique grill work, and weathered wooden doors. You wouldn’t guess that these were new houses

The row of casas seemed so much like an old Mexican adobe village. And there was a shade-enveloped stillness about it even through traffic it was just a short distance away.

            We arrived at the site and past through double wooden doors to a stuccoed adobe house the color of toffee cream. The façade is simple except for the decorative trim above the windows and doors, revealing a hint of the Greek revival period, typical of a Sonoran-style house found in Tucson barrios.

Inside, everything seems as though it has been in place forever.
The high ceilings, thick walls and concrete floors offer a
comforting feeling of solidity.

            The interior layout reflects the Sonoran design, including zaguan,
the traditional center hall that leads to the rear courtyard and provides
a central axis to the layout. Of the hallway are bedrooms, a kitchen
 and a living room on either side.

 


A dining room area flanks the kitchen and a master
bedroom leads off of it. With the architecture and character
of the house taking such a starring role, the collaboration
  of the right interior designer became  paramount.
