62 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
