38 INSPIRED INTERIORS
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 the site's dramatic
