" The landscape of Las Vegas affords so many opportunities
to take an innovative design approach. Every project offers
new challenges and ways to express new ideas."
—Jonathan Parks
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
