60 INSPIRED INTERIORS
ABOVE: 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.
MIDDLE: 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.
BOTTOM: The result is a modern home that offers a sense of
warmth. To preserve the site's dramatic 500-year-old saguaro
