Inside Linda Criswell’s Desert Home: A Landscape Tour with The Green Room

Inside Linda Criswell’s Desert Home: A Landscape Tour with The Green Room

Posted by Stephen Simms on

As part of Desert Design Week 2026, Bungalow co-founder Linda Criswell is opening her home for a private landscape tour in collaboration with The Green Room Landscape Architecture.


Located in the Arizona desert, the home reflects a thoughtful integration of architecture, landscape design, and natural materials—offering a rare opportunity to experience how indoor and outdoor living come together in a truly intentional way.


 

Linda’s home was designed as a place to gather, host, and live beautifully—values that have always been central to Bungalow.


The landscape plays a defining role, not as an afterthought, but as an extension of the home itself.

 



Working with The Green Room Landscape Architecture, the design emphasizes:

 

  • Native and desert-adapted plantings

  • Sculptural forms and layered textures

  • Seamless transitions between interior and exterior spaces

  • Materials that reflect the surrounding terrain

 


The result is a landscape that feels both grounded and elevated—rooted in place, yet refined in execution.


 

The home has been recognized for its design and was featured in Phoenix Home & Garden, highlighting its unique balance of warmth, structure, and livability.

 


Guests attending Desert Design Week will have the opportunity to walk the property and experience the landscape firsthand.


This guided tour offers insight into:

 

  • Design decisions

  • Material selections

  • The relationship between architecture and environment

Reserve your place for this special event and experience the landscape in person.
