INSPIRED MODERN HOMES
ABOVE: The predominantly horizontal home hugs its site near
the prow of a hill and incorporates extensive glass and broad
overhangs to frame panoramic views of the Valley of the Sun
below. Its desert material and color palette includes weathered
copper fascias and the blue-grey hue of Pennsylvania
bluestone while the interior is finely detailed with the warmth
of clear redwood and complemented with cherry wood and
black accents. The home nestles into its prominent setting
and responds to the desert environment with an exquisitely
proportioned arrangement of architectural and landscape
elements.
LEFT: Overlooking the Valley of the Sun below, the south-facing
façade incorporates deep overhangs and long horizontal
lines interrupted by vertical elements that visually anchor the
structure to the site.
