ARCHITECTURAL CONCEPT
Striving to respect and adapt to the physical surroundings of the location, the house was designed to follow the concept of “desert”; therefore integrating the color palette found in the Sonoran Desert and being built solely out of locally-found materials.
The name “Desert Home” is born out of this architectural concept, combining the natural and visual elements of the house with its main purpose: to serve as a real, wholesome home for a family.

Interior Garden
A significant architectural and landscape design highlight of this Desert Home was an interior garden, visible from the west facade and located within the living room, under the staircase. Not only was it a visually attractive feature both from outside and inside of the house, but it also ensured vegetative cooling, implemented a green wall and absorbed the sunlight from the west in the evenings, preventing it from overheating the house while allowing for beautiful natural light.
