These 7 Homes in the Southwest Show How to Design For the Desert
5 of 7
Three pavilions of masonry, rusted steel, and glass come together in Tucson, Arizona, to create a home designed by Ibarra Rosano Design Architects that draws inspiration from the desert landscape. Each facade is in direct response to the sun, wind, topography, vegetation, and views. Windows are long and shaded, entryways are covered, and views are curated to capture indirect sunlight and provide vistas of the landscape beyond.
