Shields Residential recently completed a mid-century modern home remodel, showcasing the work with some of Arizona Tile’s high-quality products. Founded on the principles of collaboration, transparency, and reliability, Shields Residential has built a reputation for delivering projects that are not only beautiful but also well-managed and stress-free.

Shields Residential believes that construction should be as enjoyable as the finished product. Their approach eliminates vague promises and shifting timelines; instead, they offer realistic schedules, transparent costs, and a collaborative design process that invites clients to be part of the journey.

Mid-Century Modern Remodeling

Mid-century modern architecture is loved for its clean lines, open floor plans, and seamless integration with nature—characterized by geometric forms, natural materials, and a balance of simplicity and sophistication. In this remodel, Shields Residential, along with collaborators at Dama Interiors, infused the home with warmth and character while considering the design features that make an MCM so unique.

Della Terra^® Quartz: Citrine

One of the standout choices in the remodel was our Della Terra^® Quartz, specifically Citrine, which brought a unique richness to the space, enhancing the mid-century aesthetic while adding contemporary flair.

Citrine is a creamy white quartz with variegated grey and brownish-gold veining. Its background features an additional, understated grey that adds more dimension and a realistic marble effect, enhancing its overall earthy tones and helping create a welcoming atmosphere. Not only does the appearance of Citrine fit well into current design trends, but this quartz countertop, in both the kitchen and bathroom, carries a timeless, classic look. This timeless design approach is only made more notable by the incredible durability quartz offers, ensuring it lasts for decades to come.

Speaking of durability, quartz countertops can handle it all: from the chaos of a kitchen to an oasis of a bathroom. Given their composition of crushed quartz and resin, these slabs are non-porous and do not require sealing, unlike natural stone. They’re resistant to scratches and chipping, highly resistant to staining, and are one of the easiest countertop surfaces to clean and maintain.

It’s easy to see why quartz countertops in the kitchen, bathroom, or anywhere in the home are both beautiful and practical. For this whole-home remodel, Citrine was the perfect match for this project, and with our wide selection, we have the perfect quartz countertop for your next remodel.

Build On This Design

At its core, Shields Residential is about more than construction: it’s about remastering residential living in the Coachella Valley. Their mission is to marry architectural design expertise with realistic, reliable pricing and organized project management. By prioritizing collaboration to ensure clients feel engaged, they build trust and transparency, leaving more room to focus on delivering homes clients love.
