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. The home is known as the "house with
legs" because of the columns that stretch out like a spider. These "legs" are not only 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 500-year-old
