Rocky Slope Residence
2008, Phoenix, AZ
Embedded in the southern edge of the Phoenix South Mountain Preserve, the Rocky Slope Residence draws from the raw quality of the Sonoran Desert as a source of inspiration. It was essential that the house mediate between the cul-de-sac of metropolitan Phoenix subdivision at its front door and the organic preserve beyond its back door. It was also paramount that the house respected the natural sloping topography of the site. Much like any suburban context, the neighbors to each side provide ample design challenges when trying to maintain a balance between the resident’s natural desire to be both public and private.
