Nova Ridge—Plan 1

The geometric lines of the house are regular and rigorous. Window arrangements accentuate the geometry of the elevation. Large windows, sliding glass doors, and other expansive panes of glass allow light to enter rooms from multiple angles. Overhangs help provide shade from the intense desert sun.

Open, yet defined spaces include changes in ceiling height; color and materials create definition for spaces without constricting the open plan feel. Integration with nature is accomplished by rooms that have multiple outdoor views, or multiple access points, encouraging an appreciation of the indoor/outdoor lifestyle celebrated in the Southwest.
