The Casa Blanca South Residence is conceived as an intimate experience for both homeowner and guests, choreographed around a series of private vegetated courtyards. The meditative east garden greets visitors, and the active west court enjoys expansive Camelback Mountain views; the great room engages both environments. Acting as the main material, brick is composed to create texture and shadow through subtle rotation, or to become a perforated screen of filtered light. Warm woods and expansive glazing, paired with arid-appropriate vegetation, blur the boundary between exterior and interior—offering ideal desert living.
