The Desert House in Phoenix, AZ was completed in 1996. This home is extremely unique and beautiful. With the design style and materials used it looks like a modern-day, contemporary homeowner’s dream house.  As I have mentioned in my other posts, their use of natural materials and color is what gives their buildings an absolutely timeless look and style that has not, and does not seem to be fading anytime soon. Various types and colors of glass, concrete, granite, wood, and stone were used to complete this residence. The two main areas of the house are bar-shaped and separated “by the wash”. These areas are connected by two bridges, one is open to the outside and the other is enclosed. The large windows throughout the house allow natural light to fill the space and some are sliding which allow fresh air in as well. I personally think this house is amazing, but I would never live in it myself. I enjoy a more cozy and welcoming environment that I can relax in. Though this house is open and beautifully crafted, the design and set up might make it feel more cold and serious than a traditional home.
