Sesshu Design Associates LTD

Scottsdale, AZ

Sesshu Design Associates creates performance-driven, ultra-wellness homes for high-achieving clients who see their environment as an extension of their pursuit of longevity and optimal living. Led by founder and principal designer Tanya Shively, the firm works with clients across Scottsdale and nationwide, investing $3M+ in new construction and major renovations, guiding each project through the proprietary Ecoluxe Design Process™ to create what Sesshu calls WELL Designed™ homes.

Every home integrates wellness at the architectural level, from circadian rhythm lighting to infrared saunas and cold plunge pools, along with a full suite of recovery and performance features—all woven seamlessly into refined, elegant interiors. The result is a home that actively supports its owners’ health, longevity, and success rather than simply housing their lifestyle. Whether the project is a modern city retreat, a desert estate, or a beachfront haven, Sesshu Design Associates approaches each one as a long-term investment in how its clients live, perform, and thrive.

I have worked with Tanya Shively of Sesshu Design Associates on several home projects and renovations. I can’t say enough good things about her. I love her eye for fresh new designs and how she strives to help you make your space feel like your own. She has been professional, dedicated, and passionate about creating a wonderful experience during our renovation projects. I would highly recommend her! – M Matson
