This home was designed for an avid wildlife photographer relocating from New York to the Arizona desert. The project takes inspiration from the simple shapes of sheltering sheds common in the ranching vernacular and is rendered with local materials of board-formed concrete, rusting steel, and burnished plaster. Imagined as a hunting blind, the form provides prospect and refuge, while the plan acts like a sighting scope-each leg of its bent ‘H’ shape connects to the powerful peaks in the landscape. Bordered by a national park preserve, the outpost’s landscape is traversed by javelina, coyote, deer, big cats, and other creatures of this place, who often approach, noses to the glass to greet the owners. The edge between inside and outside, habitat and ruin, are deliberately blurred and celebrated.
