These 7 Homes in the Southwest Show How to Design For the Desert
6 of 7
A C-shaped house on the western edge of Las Vegas uses prefabricated, steel-frame modules that were created in Los Angeles with finished floors, walls, doors, and fenestration. The use of modular elements reduced the environmental impact of this new home, which offers views of the glittering Las Vegas strip in one direction and the desert near Red Rock Canyon in another. Slatted, anodized-aluminum canopies shade the home's multiple indoor/outdoor spaces.
