SB Residence

Layered walls of snap-tie concrete and recessed stair lights lead the path to this 4,471-square-foot residence. In appreciation of the property’s unique amenities, the design utilized the terrain of the lot and the native vegetation. Nestled gently on the property, the home is angled to take advantage of the sun orientation and city light views. The split-level desert modern structure is composed using a simple palette of natural stone tile, cast-in-place concrete, precision masonry, stucco, metal, and glass, with clean architectural lines and a neutral contrasting color palette. The goal of the project was for the owners to live harmoniously within the natural surroundings. The large expanses of glass, clerestory windows, and stacked sliding doors create the feel of living in the view. To further blur the line between where the home ends and the desert begins, native garden beds and planters were added along the perimeter of the house. Anchoring the cantilevered patio is a modern infinity pool with a zero and negative edge, an elongated fire feature, lounge and outdoor dining areas.
