Canyon Vista

The Art of Indoor-Outdoor Living

The heart of Canyon Vista lies in its ability to disappear.

• Twelve motorized glass door systems open with the touch of a button, revealing sweeping desert views.
  
• Narrow sightlines and hidden tracks allow every threshold to dissolve into the landscape.
  
• Designed for Sedona’s mild climate, the doors remain open nearly eight months of the year.
• Air, light, and conversation flow freely between indoors and out.

A Transparent Welcome

At the entry, an all-glass, 8-foot-wide pivot door sets the tone for what’s inside: expansive, luminous, and unexpected simplicity. Designed as both sculpture and function, the pivot hints that the best views are yet to come. When open, it invites guests directly into the home’s main gathering space, where the views unfold in every direction.

A Vision Realized, A Home Without Walls

For Roland, Canyon Vista isn’t just a home—it’s the culmination of a vision years in the making. Built to erase the divide between indoors and out, it captures his love for nature, design, and connection in one seamless environment. “I always wanted a home where you’re not really inside,” he says—and here, that vision became real.

That philosophy shaped every detail. From the twelve motorized panels that vanish into hidden tracks to the all-glass pivot door that opens with ease, every Awake system was chosen to make the boundaries between indoors and out feel irrelevant. “Sixty percent of the house is glass,” he says. “Over half of it is see-through. When that main door opens, it’s the showpiece. Everyone gathers there—it’s where the view is, where the house comes alive.”

Working with Awake reinforced what Roland believes about building well:

“Don’t cut corners. Hire a five-star team that communicates. Building should be exciting—not stressful. Awake made that possible. I was traveling around the world while the house was being built, and they handled everything. It was a breeze.”

Now, whether hosting a retreat or simply watching the sun rise over Sedona’s red rocks, Canyon Vista reflects the life Roland envisioned—rooted in connection, nature, and freedom. 

“Most people dread building,” he says. “For me, it was a dream. And every time I open those doors, it still feels that way.”
