I am fortunately a member of the family & altho because of personal reasons I have not been able to see the house in person, I look forward to that day with great anticipation.
My best friend & her husband had the thrill of being a guest & came home with the all the kudos one can only imagine.

Wow,….I love this house. I can use the word “incredible” to describe it, but I think that even falls short. I love it.

I’ll give you dollars to doughnuts that they find an excuse to film a Bond picture there soon.

Having been a guest in this beautiful house I can tell you that it is breathe taking. It reflects the warmth, creativity and zest for life of the owners and their family members.

Although it is a well designed project I can’t get over-exited. It is a bit too monumental for my liking. The shapes are attractive but the execution is too massive.

This house is excellent. I love the interiors.

Adding to my previous comments. This is a house, not a home; there is a difference.

All style and no class. The interiors are as barren as the landscape and suitable only for a neurotic hermit who craves lonliness.

I am shocked at the lust over this! Do all the readers start to salivate over basic massing of glas and ‘floating’ planes? oh please! it’s clearly a Rick Joy wannabe… a bit heavy handed, but an OK application of technique

You can see the plans on the architect’s site – there is a link at the end of the description.

talk about an oasis in the desert!!! WOW!!! i just love this project, congrats to all involved. but i must say there could be more interior pics to view, maybe a floorplan would be nice too, so we can truly enjoy the design and layout 360 degrees.

Amongst the most magnificent examples of modern residential architecture I have ever seen. The mass of the house, the materials selected, and use of glass make it an outstanding addition to the desert
surroundings.

Best so far. Could you show more of this amazing house – the living quarters & family area?

Beautiful desert house. I bet the neighbors who live in the surrounding homes that echo themes from distant European cultures of centuries past hate it, LOL. The floating roof panes are great and any chance to use copper, take it. I do find it a bit odd that they chose to use that curved wall at the entry way and then nothing else with the same geometry within the rest of the house.

Extraordinary. Masterful. It’s distinct yet it blends with it’s surroundings. Transition from interior to desert is perfect. Must feel special to wake up to that every day.

Exceotional! This is so well defined and executed it almost defies words. It belnds well, yet the modernism is not so over the top one feels removed from the surroundings of the raw desert. I love this place!

Gold. In all my years in the building industry that would be the best house I have seen.
