Inside Will Bruder’s Iconic Arizona Architecture | Hummingbird & More

What makes a Will Bruder home so unforgettable? In this special episode of Modern Home Mastermind, Shawna Glazier and Brittainy Williamson take us behind the scenes of several of Bruder’s most distinctive residential projects and share what they’ve learned from working in, showing, selling, and experiencing his architecture firsthand. From the Platt House and Byrne Residence to the Desert Bridge House and Hummingbird, this episode explores Bruder’s signature use of natural materials, sculptural forms, light, landscape, and thoughtful connections between interior and exterior spaces. The conversation also dives into what makes Hummingbird such a unique piece of Arizona modernism and what possibilities exist for its future. Most importantly, Shawna and Brittainy discuss why Hummingbird isn't simply about square footage or amenities, it’s about experiencing and living inside a work of art.
