To not overpower nor obstruct existing structures, much of the new office addition was set 2/3 into the ground, making windows high and narrow. To increase natural light, designers added a 12’x12’ pyramid-shaped skylight and incorporated full-power, horizontal shades across the framed ceiling. The shades open and close to help regulate the desert suns' light and heat. The insets in the coffered ceiling are suede. To buffer sound, the office walls are upholstered. The pyramid skylight adds welcome light and visual interest on both the interior and exterior of the freestanding office. Brett Drury Architectural Photography
