Ralph Haver AIA was an American Architect who was highly accredited to bringing Modernism to Arizona. Malcolm and Lea weren't necessarily looking for a modernist home when they stumbled upon their current Ralph Haver home. Always intrigued with design and making a space into their own, they saw the potential through their designer Joel Contreras who at the time was one of the few people redesigning historic homes in Arizona. Ralph Haver was known for his use of affordable and practical building materials, such as concrete block and plywood, which allowed him to create affordable postwar homes.

Malcolm and Lea are a part of a small tract of Ralph Haver homes with only 30 homes in their neighborhood. Throughout the past several years, they have seen a new generation of buyers coming into the neighborhood and lovingly caring/restoring/remodeling the homes. Ralph Haver homes are reminiscent of the Cliff May homes in Southern California, similar construction, design elements and die hard homeowners that are uplifting the legacy of these architects.
