I stumbled upon these photos of a project from years ago that I think about a lot. The view outside this large glass opening in an addition I designed serves as a natural television. The life and happenings outside are mesmerizing. It’s really cool.
The project removed the rear wall of the house and pushed it outwards, forming a dining and lounging extension.
The owners, cabinet maker, and countertop company made a great interior that saved the existing and added new that looks like it was always intended.

This Desert Casita ADU build (a colaboration of mine with Vector Progression) is in progress thanks to Urban Infill Project.

Our ADU collaboration, and City of Tucson competion winner, with Eric and Vector Progression is available through the Urban Infill Project website! Check out the other work they do too.

Weaving in and out and all around existing trees and embracing the curves.

What a great morning! The design Eric Nickerson and I submitted was one of the winners of the Casita Design Competition put on by the City of Tucson, AARP and the AIA! We won a people’s choice award as well as being selected by a jury of local professionals as one of the 10 projects to be featured on the Development Services website and receive waived permit fees when built.

Happy summer solstice. It would be a nice evening for dip!

Some of the stairs to climb - Turtle Rock House. Photos:

It’s past time to start sharing the beautiful post monsoon photos of the Turtle Rock House taken by . A thoughtful exercise resulted in a house tucked into rock outcroppings at the base of the Santa Catalina Mountains aimed at climate appropriateness and the vision of the owners.

My favorite rendering for cover sheets. Ready for permit.
