Beside a desert preserve in Phoenix, a neighboring water tank, the kind of view most would design around, became the starting point for this rammed-earth home. Thick earthen walls hold a steady temperature, a wall of glass faces north toward the rock formations, and rain travels down a chain to underground storage, so water-wise infrastructure becomes something sculptural.
Fit means letting the site, the climate, and the people shape the work.
