Sitting at the base of the Red Rock Mountains, the site is split by a dramatic level change running from the front to back of the site. The design fits into the berm, enabling a daylighting of all levels.

To achieve the owner’s desire for a home connected with the environmental surroundings, the home offers visual and physical connections throughout. Materials that feel as though they are part of the site, land, and nearby mountains. Vast perspectives and views of the surrounding environment and man-made courtyards are framed in successive spaces, culminating in a roof deck with unrestricted views to the mountains, golf course and valley below.

The massing of the residence is connected through a material banding that folds from roof to wall to floor. The upper level is supported on rammed earth walls to form a grounding to the design, forming three distinct level and providing a separation of public and private living.
