| The beauty of the house is the graceful way its honest demands for shelter and function fit into the coniferous hillside site near Sedona, Arizona. The structure is geometrically simple. A thick masonry runs the full width of the site. At grade, parallel to the contours of the slope, it is a retaining wall defining the two levels of the plan. It extends vertically to support the ridge of the shed roof, then horizontally outside to articulate the entry portico and the patios. Inside, sunlit spaces open to each other and to the forest. The low maintenance materials: colored concrete masonry blending with the Sedona dirt, copper roof, steel beams age in harmony with the landscape. |
