This residence is powerful, bold, and yet uniquely respectful of the natural environment that forms its setting.
Surrounded by over 100,000 acres of the Coconino National Forest and 360 degree views of the red rocks for which the region is known, this energy efficient contemporary home is strongly connected to the natural environment. The local stone on the home is deep red at the bottom and fades to soft white at the top to mimic the mountains in the background. Specialized crews of stone masons combined craft with artistry. The open, circular shape of the foyer (located on a vortex) is meant to evoke the spirit of the ancient Native Americans who once lived on the site. The home blends old with new, internal with external, light with shade to achieve a perfect balance between order and comfort. With an infinity edge pool and endless mountain vistas, the great room is protected by a cantilevered "floating" roof that acts as a passive solar overhang and sculptural element.
