13 Koss design+build Phoenix, AZ ABOVE, RIGHT & FACING PAGE: Views and light play important roles in all our designs. On the Butterfly House, an effortless butterfly roof floats over the home and defines the distinctive design. The simple act of tilting the roof up opens the home to the surrounding views. The angle of the butterfly roof was calculated to open the inside of the home to just above the mountain top beyond while also providing a sufficient angle for the hidden photovoltaic panels. Water f rom the butterfly roof is collected at each end of the home, and when it rains, these cantilevered elements create waterfall features. A long lap pool and two-sided fireplace serve as the center of the main living area. At the interior low point of the butterfly roof, the structure is exposed and defines the main circulation path of the project. A continuous band of concrete between the wood flooring helps to further define the central axis of the home. Photographs by Rick Brazil See more about Koss design build on page xx Desert Homes
