First impression approaching the home through rugged desert surroundings, is of an understated Southwest Contemporary architecture. Rounding the Auto Court, the Front Entry offers an introduction to unique and exquisite architectural details: travertine tile covering the walkway, curved stucco walls, natural stacked stone accents, and curved, multi-layer soffits. Once inside, the distinctive soffits continue and create a sense of space for each of the activity areas. Window walls bring in light and a secluded view of the mountain side that rises upward. The goal of transparency from inside to outside has been achieved.
