The following information is from Marwan Al-Sayed Architects:
Modern Desert City House located on a relatively flat one-acre parcel in Paradise Valley, Arizona, within the Phoenix metropolitan area, the site is opposite the Arizona Canal with panoramic views to the Squaw Peak Mountain reserve to the north and Camelback Mountain to the east. This house is conceived as an archaic thick mass casting, with the two one story volumes defining the entry courtyard and acting as a base for the plaster volume upper story, which houses the main living, dining and kitchen spaces, as well as outdoor dining decks. This “reverse” living plan makes sense in the hot dry desert climate of Arizona.
