Concept

Nestled in the rugged landscape of Twentynine Palms, CA, this desert retreat incorporates both vernacular and modern forms to create a domestic sanctuary offering shelter and tranquility. The house features an open-plan concept that blends indoor and outdoor living utilizing large accordion windows and glass doors that connect the living area to a generous, shaded, west-facing patio. With a modest indoor area of 1,150 square feet, the house includes two cozy bedrooms and one bathroom. The design approach facilitates phased construction, which accommodates starting small with a cabin-like primary living space and expanding as needed.

Passive climate control is achieved through south-facing roof overhangs, thermal mass, and strategically placed operable windows. The main roof is pitched and oriented to provide an infrastructure for a solar array to supply off-grid power. A rustic exterior materials palette, featuring a corten metal roof, wood trusses and beams, concrete masonry unit blocks, and weathered grey wood siding, coexists seamlessly with the desert surroundings.
