A luxury apartment community in North Scottsdale, Arizona, will feature a central club with CertainTeed SunStyle solar shingles as a highlight.

The club house designed by KTGY draws inspiration from Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin West, featuring linear forms, sloping rooflines, expressive structural elements, and plaster finishes with wood-grain textures that mimic natural timber.

"We are not attempting to imitate Talis Linzi; we draw inspiration from it," said Jonathan McAll, CEO of Belgravia Group and developer of the Atavia community. "The repeated roof angles, exposed structural elements, and carpentry details create something more visually appealing than what we typically see in club and clubhouse designs."

The club will adopt the SunStyle integrated solar roof system, which resembles overlapping dragon-scales tiles. McCulloch discovered this innovative solution while exploring renewable energy options and was impressed by its proven success, with over 15 years of successful performance in Europe.

Atavia will be the first project in Arizona to adopt SunStyle solar roofs, setting a new benchmark for luxury and design-oriented sustainability in the region. The high-performance solar roofs are expected to generate 55,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity annually, which can offset the majority, if not almost all, of the club resort's annual energy consumption.

"We hope the sustainability components can be fully integrated into the architecture," McCarlo said. "We don’t want to use traditional rectangular panels on the roof, as this could disrupt the overall aesthetic design. This product allows us to incorporate renewable energy in a way that complements rather than competes with the design."

Jesse Schiavone (General Manager of CertainTeed Solar Solutions) expressed pride in collaborating with Belgravia Group and KTGY on the club house project, noting that the project reflects a strong alignment of design, sustainability, and performance.

"SunStyle offers a fully integrated solar roof system that generates clean energy while preserving the architectural integrity of buildings," said Schiavone. "We are proud to provide a solution that enhances both the aesthetics and functionality of spaces, and we hope the Atavia community can use it as a gathering place that fosters connections for years to come."
