Sited in the desert foothills, the Damon Residence establishes an assembled composition that breaks the line of interior and exterior to facilitate mindful desert living. The house is evocative of the modernism of Wright and Van der Rohe, refreshed for a contemporary audience.
The home itself is an overlapping of programmatic volumes to soften the formality of the rectilinear module. The spine of the house is bolstered by heavy walls and wide glass panes, which open up to the vast space of the valley. Locally sourced adobe draws the earth from the desert up, creating deep wells of heavy shade and a hatching of delicate shadows from the mild rustication of the adobe block. Edges and boundaries are softened with seamless interior glass corners that, while blurring public and private space, also reveal instances of the desert through the rhythm of glass and adobe as one traverses the axis of the home. The regional material hearkens back to the vernacular of desert southwest. Intimately scaled spaces are juxtaposed with the abundant view of the Sonoran desert.
