To preserve the site's dramatic 500-year-old saguaro cactus, we integrated the home
seamlessly around the venerable succulent. The whole house is curved and designed
on a radius. We specified indigenous materials, including locally mined copper and
site-quarried stone. Glass panels optimize hypnotic mountain-desert views. The home
is known as the "house with legs" because of the columns that stretch out like a spider.
These "legs" are notonly aesthetic but provide structural support for the patio and the
house itself. The result is a modern home that offers a sense of warmth. To preserve
