> Ben Lepley is a wildly creative and talented young entrepreneur whom I've known for several years.  I've referred Ben to many of my clients for both architectural consulting and design and setup for water harvesting and other eco-friendly home/landscaping projects.  Ben has an extraordinary vision and enthusiasm for all things modern and all things retro... a lovely combination and aesthetic, really.  I would recommend him most highly, and trust him implicitly, for a project of any scope.

## Selected projects

- [Loma Linda Solar Carport](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/loma-linda-solar-carport-pj-vj~412574)
  - Location: Tucson, AZ
  - Photos: 9
  - Description: Contact me, I can build you one just like it. The project is a 4.5 kw solar array and carport, combining the two functions in one. There was a need for three covered parking spaces as protection from the harsh summer heat. Simply placing the panels on the roof would also have caused complications with roof maintenance over the years. With the combined solution, we chose the Sanyo PV panels, which are translucent, providing a beautiful pattern, and filtered light below. The main structure was pre…
- [Hanging loft bedroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hanging-loft-bedroom-pj-vj~412807)
  - Location: Los Angeles, CA
  - Photos: 9
  - Description: The parameters of this project was to add a fourth bedroom to a 1,200 sqft loft without taking up any more floor space and also not block any light from entering the loft. Luckily the loft had 14' ceilings, and being an old industrial warehouse, had sufficient overhead support to hang a room from. Clad in reflective corrugated metal, the siding of the hanging bedroom room is designed to reflect light from the living room windows back into the loft. With the very limited floor space in which to w…
- [Forgeus Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/forgeus-remodel-pj-vj~412446)
  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 11
  - Description: The Forgeus residence started out as a small dark one-room guest house in the 1940’s with adhoc rooms attached throughout the decades. The circulation was through small doorways, the den had one small window, the bathroom had too many walls. The outside was either glaringly sun-baked (front drive) or too dark (porch). Inspiration for the tensioned cable lattices came from a visit to an abandoned ranch in southern Arizona. I wanted to capture the lightness and razor thin profile of the light-weig…
- [Tectonicus Lamps](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/tectonicus-lamps-pj-vj~415067)
  - Location: Tucson, AZ
  - Photos: 8
  - Description: The desert remains indifferent to the gun and the refuse, creating beauty from any material through time and weather. How is a man with a gun and a beer different then a man with a paintbrush and easel? Any random discarded object, what is it's potential? Rust stains, any different then watercolor?
- [Tucson Artist studio](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/tucson-artist-studio-pj-vj~412723)
  - Location: Oro Valley, AZ
  - Photos: 9
  - Description: The studio is a 350 sqft single space, which serves as an office and workshop for an architect. The walls are made of compressed earth block, mixed from the soil found on site. Large windows face the north for steady even light throughout the day. A steel roof hangs over the two southern facing walls, shielding them from the sun, keeping the earthen walls cool throughout the day.
- [Shed no. 8841](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/shed-no-8841-pj-vj~412654)
  - Location: Tucson, AZ
  - Photos: 14
  - Description: While traveling in India in 2008, I took note of the peculiar industrial sheds and factory buildings that dot the industrial zones there. The sides of these buildings were clad in corrugated sheet metal, but had the most interesting louvered facades, also known as Brise soleils. I realized the genius of these Indian factory buildings in how the louvers allowed for natural ventilation in hot climates, keeping direct sun out and allowing for diffused light to enter, but still remaining private and…
