Large expanses of glass really help to break out the concrete exterior, while providing amazing views of Squaw Peak Mountain Reserve and the Arizona Canal. The neutral color of the concrete helps the house to really blend with its desert site.
The plan of the Desert House is also quite unique. All of the bedrooms (private spaces) have been brought into the sunken basement. The cement, along with the house being partially underground, really helps to keep the bedrooms cool and shaded. Public spaces, such as the living room, kitchen and dining room, have been brought to the upper level, giving them great access to the scenery.
