This is what I envision of when I think "21st Century Desert House," and it really makes me regret having left the architectural field fifteen years ago. From the firm ibarra rosano design architects of Tucson. We'd move back to AZ in a heartbeat if this were waiting for us. Absolutely stunning. (Click on any of the images to embiggen.)
Be sure and check out all their other work!
This might not work too well in the Canadian climate… but oh! How beautiful!
Isn't that the house that sat unfinished for years out by Gates Pass?
I've seen a lot of their houses around town, and have commented to myself that I really liked the style of this one or that one without ever thinking that they might just be by the same architectural studio. Visiting their website just tied all those strings together for me. Now I just need to get an empty lot (and a swimming pool full of cash).
