The orientation of the home was chosen to harness the sun, capture breezes, and frame the picturesque views.
At the entrance to the home, you must pass over a bridge that sits above desert landscaping.

At the end of the home, there’s a swimming pool with a raised deck.

Just down from the kitchen is a bright white hallway, also known as the home’s library, that’s filled with colorful artwork, floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, and a small desk area.

In one of the bathrooms, tall windows and a skylight fill the space with natural light, while the blue tiled feature wall provides a focal point and privacy for when someone’s taking a bath.
