The two-way structural framing system allows for extensive cantilevers. Corten steel was selected for its sustainable characteristics, and aesthetics, as its weathering is complementary to desert colors. The structural components are open to view, creating a contrast to the highly polished concrete floor throughout the house. The grid of beams overhead defines the ceiling and flows beyond the glass enclosure to create outdoor rooms in the courtyard, blurring the distinction between inside and out. Perforated, Corten roof panels allow filtered daylight from the sun to reach the courtyard below.

The exterior enclosure of the house is glass, with perforated sunscreens and press-formed louvers layered in front of the glass where shade or privacy is needed. This creates a sense of daylight at all interior spaces and rich texture of shades and shadows on the exterior. Interior finishes were selected to achieve warmth. Extensive millwork of natural cherry, European oak and walnut is used throughout. Area rugs are placed on the polished concrete floor, with red MMA floor mats used at circulation areas.

Draperies with high translucency create privacy while allowing light and views to the courtyard and mountains The home was built in under five months.
