A desert home providing respite from the unforgiving desert. A humble collection of recognizable architectural shapes, elements, and materials arranged in a contemporary way to create a quietly iconic retreat unique to its context.
An architecture that uses passive cooling techniques and natural materials to lightly situate itself into the desert, capturing views of the surroundings all the while.
