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.
