6 ABOVE: I believe architecture should have drama, like a good book, movie, or piece of music. The Prugh Home sits atop a Caref ree, Arizona, hill overlooking most of Scottsdale and Phoenix with views to nearly every significant mountain. Glass spans the length of the home protected by deep overhangs. The home is anchored into the desert while the roof floats unanchored, above.

Known for expansive views and little rainfall, the desert is flush with landscaping and varied topography, making it a fascinating place to design and build architecture. The Woz Macy home stretches across its raw Sonoran Desert landscape with stepped and deep-set roof overhangs protecting 20-foot-tall windows that f rame mountain views. The home anchors itself into the desert, weaving into its natural topography. Photography by Wiggs Photo
