Filling a pair of vacant lots this stacked bond block home takes full advantage of the space. With privacy and security high on the list of must haves the floor plan folds around a large central courtyard and pushes all the interior living space to the property lines. Creating a shaded private yard within. The courtyard is flanked by large retractable walls of glass blurring the lines between in and out.
Planned around a narrow light-well and outdoor space running through the center of this home, the massing resembles a canyon. This design capitalizes on indirect natural light to combat the harsh desert climate. Banks of windows allow views into the yard and light into the home without sacrificing comfort. The strategic use of screens provide security and privacy while permitting air to flow freely through the canyon like garden space.
