Phoenix Interior Design by Principal Designer Alex Aguirre
Phoenix Interior Design (PHX ID) is a selective interior architecture and design studio for estates in Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, Cave Creek and Arcadia. One principal leads every project, from the first plan set to the final installation. Research, material guides and project notes are published in the Phoenix Interior Design Journal.
A Bespoke Property Deserves a Selective Phoenix Interior Design Company
The studio accepts a limited number of commissions each year. That cap is deliberate: it keeps the principal on site, close to the drawings, and in the room when decisions get made. The result is a home that reads as one continuous idea instead of a collection of finishes.
Meet Alex Aguirre, Principal of Phoenix Interior Design
Alex works 1-on-1 with general contractors, boutique home builders and a select group of homeowners who hire the studio directly. There is no hand-off to a junior team and no list of excuses when a supplier slips. Alex chases every material order, tracks every delivery and lines up each installation so the trades stay on schedule as closely as the job allows.
Clients find the process calm, predictable and even enjoyable. Many come back with their next property, whether it is across the valley or out of state.
The Phoenix Interior Design studio approach
Interior architecture before decoration
Ceiling planes, wall thickness, window placement and circulation are settled on paper first. Furnishings follow the architecture, never the other way around.
One schedule with the general contractor
Selections, lead times and install dates sit on the same calendar as the build. When a date moves, everyone sees it the same day.
Procurement handled end to end
Stone, tile, plumbing, lighting and millwork are ordered, inspected on arrival and staged by room. Damaged or wrong items are caught before a trade is booked.
Installation managed in person
Alex is on site for key installs to resolve field questions on the spot, which keeps small issues from turning into change orders.
A limited client roster
Fewer projects mean faster answers, closer attention and a principal who knows every detail of your home.

What Builders and Homeowners Say About Phoenix Interior Design
“We asked for a reading room and assumed it would be a leftover corner. Alex pulled the window sill down to bench height so the room faces Pinnacle Peak at sunset. It is the only room in the house nobody fights over, because everyone just shares it.”
Laura & Mark T.Homeowners, Mirabel Estates “Our plaster came in the wrong tone a week before install. Alex was at the supplier the next morning with our sample, and the replacement batch arrived before the crew needed it. Nobody on site lost a day, and I only heard about it afterward.”
Daniel R.General Contractor, Desert Highlands “We spend summers back east, so the house has to look after itself. The mudroom Alex designed has a drying bench, a vented boot cabinet and a stone floor that hides the dust. Two years in, it still looks like the day we moved in.”
Catherine W.Homeowner, Desert Mountain
